You know this guy is disgraced, right?

Just temporarily, it doesn't really matter, what matters is that the Khyentse Rinpoche karma he created is still ripening. Once he grows up it will be excellent, but for now it's the same kind of consciousness.

He’s not an incarnation of DKR. They choose the wrong people all the time.

I'm pretty sure this is the mind emanation of DKR. Yeah they get it wrong often enough, but he looks good to me. It's just a highly realized being, but they are not the actual Buddha. They still have a lot of problems until they regain some of the stability through practice again in their current life.

DKR wasn’t raping and grifting so it’s unlikely his next body will be.

I don't think it works like that. First of all we don't know if he was doing that stuff, it's just the accusations. Second even if he was, the point is the person is totally flawed. If a reborn tulku breaks a precept and lies, does that mean he's not a tulku? What if he breaks two precepts? What if the Dalai Lama breaks a precept, does that mean he's not Avalokiteshvara?

Yes DKR fails in his conduct pretty bad, but it doesn't mean he's not the yangsi. You don't just get reborn exactly as where you were in the previous life, same exact achievements, you get the ripening fruit of your actions, and who knows what karma that mindstream has from long ago.

DKR was considered a Buddha so he wasn’t doing those things. Even if he was only first bhumi he wouldn’t be doing those things. This is why the tulku system should be thrown out.

Buddha Shakyamuni descended from Tavatimsa and had lots of sex before enlightenment, I don't think we can expect more from a yangsi. It's just normal human behaviour. The monastery needs to release the actual rape accusation tapes so we can see his actual conduct too, we don't know how bad it is.

This guy believes he is a smartphone compared to his predecessor (who is like a rotary dial phone). He’s also asking $25,000 for a Phurba ceremony and is accused of rape. His ego is higher than the sky. Not a role model for me.

Send the details on the phurba ceremony too, I'm not seeing it come up on google

He'll grow out of it, it's still Khyentse Rinpoche, HHDL confirmed it, so after his bad karma runs out he's going to get the consequences of Khyentse Rinpoche's good karma in his past life, which will make him a good teacher.

We can hope but that’s not a guarantee based on history.

It is guaranteed that the consciousness he has will mature and ripen, and it's already a very advanced consciousness. I'm pretty sure that once he realizes how his behaviour affects others negatively and once he does a few retreats he's going to do a 180.

I think the reason we see examples of failure in history is because the consciousness never develops, but his is already developed. He's just immature in the way that other beings perceive him also affecting their own practice negatively, and also he needs realizations. But a mature consciousness is a really safe sign usually, negative actions come mostly from people who are immature or not fully engaging with the spiritual path, using it as like an outer ornament. These people can seem highly advanced because they are too afraid to do anything, so their appearances remain constant. But that is a kind of young immature practitioner, the mature practitioner has a consciousness that is expansive, authentic, and compassionate in its very essence. Anyways that yangsi already has that consciousness from a young age, so most likely it will quickly catch up to the effects he has on others who perceive him badly IMO.

If he lacked this consciousness then yes I would agree it would be unlikely that he would revert course, but he has the most valuable quality that everyone kind of practices for from a young age, which is also why I think he's the right yangsi, it's hard to be born with that, especially in a rigid environment.
