Lin-Manuel Miranda explains the magic of Three Kings Day

(Washington Post) Dec. 15, 2017: Even while growing up in New York, composer, playwright, and actor (Frozen), Lin-Manuel Miranda experienced a quintessentially Puerto Rican holiday, Three Kings Day (Dia de los Reyes o Magos). Here's what makes it special.  #linmanuelmiranda #washingtonpost #threekingsday

Did Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhist monks from Ladakh or Lhasa go in search of a tulku (incarnation of significant figures like the Dalai Lamas and Panchen Lamas)? In this case, it would have been baby Jesus of Palestine (Issa, Isa, Yshua, Christ), following a UFO or miraculous star or sign in the sky (astrological/zodiacal)? When a significant lama (monk) or rinpoche ("precious one" or "jewel") is to be reborn, he gives indications of where. And a search party is sent out to track him down, bring him back, verify it's him, and remind him of his mission to spread the Dharma (Timeless Truth) to save humanity. Tibetans think it is Avalokiteśvara (sex-changed and popularized as Chinese Kwan Yin, called Chenrezig in Tibet, the Goddess of Compassion) being reborn over and over again. This is the basis of the American movie Little Buddha.

Theophany (Ancient Greek ἡ θεοφάνεια, Romanized theophaneia, lit. "appearance of a deity" [1]) is an encounter with a deity (deva, god, goddess), in which it manifests in an observable and tangible form [2, 3, 4].

Where the deity does not take tangible form (an outward manifestation), the broader term used for inward manifestation is divine revelation or divine inspiration [5] as when devas ("shining ones") or gandharvas (heavenly messengers in Buddhism) visit earth.

Not kings, not just three, but tales were added.

Where the god or goddess indwells in a human person, the terms used are divine incarnation, a Hindu avatar or, poetically, the personification of that deity [6].

Theophanies, tangible appearances of a deity, are distinguished from epiphanies, which are powerful internal changes in outlook caused by a theophany or other divine revelation [7].

Traditionally the term "theophany" was used to refer to appearances of the gods in ancient Greek and in Near Eastern religions.

While Homer's Iliad is the earliest source for descriptions of theophanies in classical antiquity (which occur throughout Greek mythology), the earliest description appears in the much older Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh [8].

While the Baháʼí Faith of India does not refer to any particular events of Theophany, it holds that "God" is manifest in the prophets .

The "Manifestation of God" is a concept that refers to what are commonly called "prophets," including, among others,

• Gautama Buddha (Buddhism),
• Zoroaster (Zoroastrianism),
• Krishna (Hinduism),
• Abraham and Moses (Judaism),
• Jesus (Christianity),
• Muhammad (Islam),
• the Báb and Baháʼu'lláh [44].

The Manifestations of God are a series of personages [Maitreyas, Messiahs] who reflect the attributes of the divine into the human world for the progress and advancement of human morals and civilization [45].

The Manifestations of God are the only channel for humanity to know about God, and they act as perfect Mirrors reflecting the attributes of God into the physical world, says Bahai [46]....

Druze Faith

(See also Druze § Beliefs)

While the Druze do not refer to any particular events of theophany, they believe in incarnation and reincarnation, that is to say, in the transmigration (traveling) of the soul [51].

Hamza ibn Ali ibn Ahmad is considered the founder of the Druze and the primary author of the Druze manuscripts [52]. He proclaimed that God had become human and taken the form of man, al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah [53, 54, 51, 55, 56].

Al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah is an important figure in the Druze faith whose eponymous founder ad-Darazi proclaimed him as the incarnation of God in 1018 [53, 54].

Divine appearances to animals

Human religious lore includes ancient literary recordings of deities appearing to animals, usually with the animals able to relate the experience to humans using human speech:

In numerous creation stories, a deity or deities speak with many kinds of animals, often prior to the formation of dry land on earth [57].

Human Hanuman and the great Monkey King

In the Hindu text the Ramayana, the monkey-headed human leader Hanuman is informed by deities, and usually consciously addressed by them [58].

In Chinese mythology, the Monkey King speaks with bodhisattvas, buddhas, and a host of heavenly characters [59]. More
