In the episode “The Storm” (Season 1, Episode 12), we learn that the Air Avatar is identified based on which four toys (relics) out of thousands that an Air Nomad child selects. This process is based on the real-life way that tulku (སྤྲུལ་སྐུ), reincarnated spiritual leaders, are identified in Tibetan Buddhism. The most well-known tulku is, of course, the Dalai Lama.
SIGNS OF REALIZATION AND BUDDHAHOOD ATTAINMENT (RELICS)
According Buddha Dharma in general and Great Perfection (tib. rdzogs chen l རྫོགས་ཆེན།) teaching in particular, after great practitioner is liberated and passes to nirvana, the holy relics are found in the cremation ashes. These are the proof of enlightenment attained in this very life or in the luminous bardo of dharmata (Tib. ཆོས་ཉིད་འོད་གསལ་གྱི་བར་དོ།, chö nyi ösal gyi bardo). These holy items are the material support of blessing.
According Great Perfection tantras, there are few types of such relics: (1) Bone ones with mantras or icons of peaceful and wrathful deities (tib. Zhi Khro ཞི་ཁྲོ), they mean the liberation in moment of death; (2) "Relics Dung" (tib. gdung གདུང།) mean the enlightenment and liberation in the luminous bardo of dharmata (tib. ཆོས་ཉིད་འོད་གསལ་གྱི་བར་དོ།, chö nyi ösal gyi bardo); (3) "Relics Ringsel" (ring bsrel ། རིང་བསྲེལ།) mean the rebirth in the pure lands of natural Nirmanakaya.
From Dzogchen Tantra "Blazing Relics" (tib. sku gdung bar ba སྐུ་གདུང་འབར་བ):
" Those who passed to nirvana would leave behind, in cremation ashes the icons of Bodies and Dung Relics (tib. gdung གདུང ), light and rainbows, earth would shake …"
Further, we read in the same tantra that Dung Relics can be of five colours, referring five buddha families. One of them:
"Shariram (Buddhist Relics) is pure white, shining, size of pea. It is the essence, pure core of bones. On maturing it becomes round and appear from skilful of yogi's head".
"Ringsel can be size of sesame seed or speck of dust. It can be destroyed by elements. This is the sign the one has attained the pure land of Nirmanakaya".
So the Dung Relics are considered to be the most supreme sign as they mean the actual Buddhahood attainment with consequent liberation in Dharmata Bardo. Ringsel specifies the vision stage attainment (tib. mthong lam མཐོང་ལམ། ), and the last rebirth in natural Nirmanakaya Pure Land. In these lands the practitioner goes the path of stages and Bhumi (tib. sa lam ས་ལམ།) and attains the final Buddhahood.
Despite of long combustion of cremation pyre, the abode of wrathful deities mandala "Bone Palace" [1] (tib. dung khang གདུང་ཁང།) was not damaged by fire. Exactly as said in extremely secret Dzogchen tantra cycle “Blazing relics”, many white sharirams were found there of Tathagata family (tib. སངས་རྒྱས་རིགས།), size of pea and bigger. It specifies the attainment of perfect and manifest buddhahood (tib. mngon par rdzogs par sangs rgyas) in dharmata bardo. More than that, few dark blue bone structures (tib. sku rus) were found among relics, as the sign of Rinpoche’s main yidam realization (Vajrakila).
Lama Karma Phunjok Rinpoche's students had requested H.H. Dudjom Rinpoche Sangye Pema Shepa to compose the "Swift Rebirth Prayer" (tib. myur byon gsol 'debs མྱུར་བྱོན་གསོལ་འདེབས།) and the request was appreciated.
The Prayer for Lama Karma Phunjok Rinpoche’s Swift Rebirth composed by H.H. Dudjom Rinpoche Sangye Pema Shepa is as follows:
"Holy Guru, exalted Orgyen Kalzang (the name given to Lama by His Holiness Dudjom Jikdral Yeshe Dorje)
Although your enlightened mind passed to non-abiding fundamental space of nirvana,
Please, come back as soon as possible, to protect the beings that are to be tamed and manifest the activity of full liberation in three lands".
During 49 days after Karma Phuntsog passed away, disciples and lamas in Karmarong and Russia performed ‘Three Roots’ practice and ganapuja daily.
Information about relics and liberation signs found after the cremation ritual which was strictly sealed (tib. gsang rgya གསང་རྒྱ།) and not revealed until the completion of 49th day funeral rituals.
The purpose of sealing information about the Rinpoche’s holy relics was to avoid any hindrances of Guru’s soonest rebirth in our world.
Thus, in response to a request from the faithful Lama Chokden, who presented a silk scarf and silver coin, this was written by Chökyi Lodrö while in a pleasure grove beside the emanated temple at Sekhar in Lhodrak.

Quatro tipos de obscurecimentos impedem a percepção da nossa natureza. O primeiro é o obscurecimento intelectual, ou dualismo: acreditar que o eu, o outro e tudo o que acontece entre os dois realmente existe. O segundo são os cinco venenos da mente (ignorância, desejo, raiva, orgulho, inveja). O terceiro é seguir as idas e vindas do apego e da aversão, o que cria carma. O quarto são hábitos: os padrões mentais e emocionais estabelecidos e reforçados pelo carma e pelos venenos da mente, que são levados de uma vida para a outra. Ao remover estes quatro obscurecimentos, arrancaremos a raiz das causas do sofrimento.
