Question for all religions on here about a website I found on the internet

Seems that the article got it mostly right, from what I understand, but it's important to know that the tulpa is found primarily in Tibetan Buddhism and is the result of a mental exercise that supposedly creates what Jung called a "psychoid" being - sometimes non-material energy, sometimes seeming to actually be an embodied person.

Buddhism stresses that the power to create a tulpa is one of the siddhis - psychic powers awakened by meditation - but that these powers do not mean that the practitioner is enlightened. In fact, Buddhism warns that activation of such powers can result in ego-inflation and lead in the opposite direction from enlightenment.
