Bridgette,

Tulku also means "Skywalker".

For a more recent example of Tulku and one that is enjoyable also 
to
both read and examine the Biography and Photo history see this

I also my personal understanding include the Physical Body as
a mode of Nirmanakaya. Nirmanakaya may or may not possess a 
Corporeal
form. And also I in my opinion include Tulku to be those not 
necessarily of 
Tibetan or even Buddhist Monastic restrictions. As far as I have 
indulged the
topic there seems to be a fluid context as to potentials realized 
that may be 
resident within each who having entered a new embodiment and that 
seems 
in natural order to nature where differences bound.
