garoto espanhol reconhecido pelo dalai lama como a reencarnação de líder espiritual renunciou sua vida monástica e está tocando o terror contra o monges que o adoravam:
osel hita torres was a 14-month-old toddler when the dalai lama recognised him as the reincarnation of a recently deceased spiritual teacher, lama yeshe, in 1986. the "peaceful, meditative" baby - as his biography on the website of the foundation to preserve the mahayana tradition, which has 130 teaching centres around the world, describes him - was chosen over nine other candidates and "enthroned".
renamed lama tenzin osel rinpoche, the boy guru was taken away from his family in granada and installed in a monastery in southern india. growing up, he was only allowed to socialise with other reincarnated souls - although for a brief period he lived next to the actor richard gere's cabin.now 24, torres - who is one of only a handful of westerners to be recognised as a tibetan buddhist tulku, or reincarnation - has rebelled against his spiritual upbringing. while still revered by the buddhist community, torres now lives in madrid where he studies film.
a jimi hendrix fan who sports long hair and wears baggy trousers, torres performed at last year's burning man festival, the annual avant-garde art event held in the nevada desert.
edgy ele!
agora, os babados:
torres said his childhood was "like living a lie", in an interview with the spanish newspaper el mundo. "they took me away from my family and stuck me in a medieval situation in which i suffered a great deal," he said.
his monastic upbringing meant an adolescence deprived of television, football and girls, he said. his first disco at 18 was a shock, he said. "i was amazed to watch everyone dance. what were all those people doing, bouncing, stuck to one another, enclosed in a box full of smoke?"movies were also forbidden, bar one film - the golden child starring eddie murphy, about a kidnapped boy lama who has magical powers. "i never felt like that boy," he said.
embora ache o budismo a menos horrorosa das práticas espirituais, nosso buda rebelde reforçou sobremaneira meu desprezo aos ideais ascéticos.
surreal que os pais não tenham perdido a guarda legal do menino na época. que retardados mentais conseguem acreditar que o filho estará mais feliz no meio de um bando de malucos pretensiosos do que com a própria família? são dois irresponsáveis vaidosos.
