Glyn, I'm not a native speaker and maybe I'm getting this wrong, but in my understanding the word "suspect" implies that you assume there is something going wrong. Similarly, the phrase "some sort of recognition letter" sounds a bit pejorative to me.
No, his English does not support these conclusions (or suspicions). This is the standard form for guarded conversation in English. The only conclusions that can be draw is that Glyn doesn't have all the information or is a bit uncertain about the facts. This kind of speech is necessary in English, if one wishes to be careful, in order to posit facts that don't one is not 100% certain about as English has no subjunctive case.

Thanks for clarification. I thought the expressions "I assume" or "I guess" had the meaning of expressing some neutral speculation about uncertain facts, whereas "I suspect" would mean - well, that you're kind of suspicious of something. I didn't know this could be used in a neutral meaning.

So a couple interestings side notes to this:
1. This is the first time ever that Chatral Rinpoche has been involved with the recognition of a tulku. Though he actually only gave the date and area of the birth, the rest was worked out by Thubten Palzang.
2. It was predetermined that they would keep Penor Rinpoche's remains intact until they found his rebirth, so the cremation last May was actually a sign that the recognition had occurred.

Suspect has that connotation as an adjective, but not as a verb.

That is debatable. Some would say that he has informally been involved before, although he has also been critical of the tradition.

For the record, he has also recently written a letter regarding one of a set of twins. I thought this was related to the Penor Yangsi, but it's obviously not the case.

He was also quite involved in the Dudjom Yangsi recognition process, making it clear that the Tibetan yangsi, Dudjom Tulku Sangye Pema Zhepa, was the true tulku. Although over time it seems everyone's stance has softened on that.

Hence the flaw of partisan politics and biases in the Tulku system (Dudjom Yangsi, Karmapa, I am sure we can think of other instances).

Is the tulku system too exclusive?

Post by yegyal »

No Chatral Rinpoche was not formally involved with the recognition of Dudjom Yangsi. Yes, he supported the recognition and took Yangsi as a student, but if you look at the long life prayer he wrote, he says that because the important nyingma lamas recognized him he went along with it.

A couple of new photos of Yangsi Penor Rinpoche have surfaced on Facebook. They're delightful, so I thought I'd share them here for those who are interested in seeing more of the precocious tulku.
