O Sel Ling: Little Tibet in Alpujarra Andalusia (HD)

NOTE: Photographs/films taken solely with an Ipad Mini.

Maybe you are wondering what this Buddhist site (O Sel Ling) is doing in Southern Spain. The link between Granada and the Dalai Lama goes back to the early eighties of our previous century.
O Sel Hita Torres, a boy from Granada (Bubion), Spain was discovered by Tibetan Buddhists. In 1985 at just 2 years old he was the first Spanish child to be confirmed by the Dalai Lama himself to be a reincarnation of the charismatic and extrovert Tibetan Lama Yeshe.
During several years the boy was known as Tenzin Ösel Rinpoche. When Osel was still a small boy he was taken to India for evaluation by Buddhist monks. There he selected some of Lama Yeshe’s former possessions although he had never seen the man. This action was translated by the monks to be a sign of special qualities and for a long time he lived in a Southern India monastery. During this time without any of his family, he missed Spain terribly. At the age of 9 his father went to India to be with him, sometime later his brother joined him too.
When he reached the age of 18 he expressed discomfort with others’ expectations as to his role in life, he left India and moved back to Spain. His first languages are Tibetan and English, Spanish is his third language. Lama Osel subsequently chose to attend a western secondary boarding school in Canada and then a university in Spain. He now lives in Ibiza.
This retreat site is referred to by locals as Joselin rather than O Sel Ling. This name means Place of Clear Light in Tibetan language and was chosen as an excellent site for meditation.
