>Angus MacLise, born 1938, was as much musician as poet, playing with such legendary figures as La Monte Young, Terry Riley and The Velvet Underground. He moved with the spirit to India in the 1970s, where he continued his work with the lamas of the Tibetan temples. He and his wife Hetty had a son, Ossian, who was declared a tulku or reincarnated lama by Karmapa, the head of the Kargyupta sect - the first time a child of two westerners had been so selected.
Hello, hello! Help needed. According to some sources, Ossian, the son of Angus MacLise, a member of the original Velvet Underground, was recognized as a Kagyu tulku by the 16th Karmapa. Does anyone have any further information about this?
