Dzongsar - re child abuse, anti tulku :We also suffered regular verbal and physical abuse, which went as far as making us bleed from the head and whipping us with nettles

Dzongsar re just a little of the trauma he survived as a child and fake tulkus, re the lamas' materialism, before he became an overt monster himself:

In my time we went through a lot of hardship, eating nothing but rice and potatoes for up to a year, travelling on India’s cheapest public transportation, sleeping on railway platforms, having no more than 10 rupees in our pockets for six or seven months, getting by with one pencil for a year, and even having to share our study with 18 other students.

As a child I had just two handmade toys that I made myself.

Worse, my tutor confined me to one room not just for a few weeks or months but for a whole year, so that even going to the toilet became a long awaited excursion. We also suffered regular verbal and physical abuse, which went as far as making us bleed from the head and whipping us with nettles.

In fact, it’s worth noting that these tulkus are often not genuine reincarnations at all, but are given the “tulku” label as a child, with the aspiration that it will benefit them and others.
