This is primarily the result of the People’s Republic of China’s aggressive political maneuverings in Tibet and the resulting weakened state of Tibetan Buddhist culture.

The People’s Republic of China has caused irreversible damage to the tulku system. By…

(1), an early Chinese philosopher who believed that the “world operated by spontaneous, natural development” (2) and that the idea of “lucky and unlucky days” was irrational. During his time, Wang had written a published book titled “Luheng,” which contained a series of critical essays with one being that of “Lucky and Unlucky Days.” Wang wrote this…
