Perhaps one of the first examples of this transfer of
consciousness between an Adept and an Infant is narrated by HPB
in ISIS UNVEILED, Vol. I pp 436-8.  Some more information is
given by her in ISIS II 598-602.

>>At least this is what Alexandra David-Nell says in 'Initiates
and
Initiations in Tibet'. She seems to beleive that the whole Tulku
thing
is very dicey indeed.<<

Darren, David-Neel has probably the best explanation of tulku
ever
written.  Basically it is the re-incarnation of an esoteric ray
that
expresses itself as a wisdom-body of teachings into a qualified
neonate,
rather than the re-incarnation of a "person" or atman (which the
Buddhists don't believe in anyway). The idea that a tulku is a
reincarnated Adept is close, but not quite right.
