- Meta Description
- Shamar Rinpoche is the 14th Shamarpa, or Red Hat Lama of Tibet. While the Shamarpas are the second-oldest reincarnate lineage, what earlier incarnations have done or not done does not define the subsequent Shamarpas. The current Shamarpa has said, “Since every incarnation is a new life, credit from great deeds in the past is not transferred automatically to each new incarnation. Likewise, one cannot blame any reincarnate Lama for not being as great as his or her previous incarnation. Boys or girls are recognized as tulkus at a young age, placed in monasteries and given a tremendous amount of responsibility. They do not choose this life for themselves. This is true of every Tibetan reincarnate lineage. Greatness must be earned anew in each life.”
