As far as I know, Tulpa is a being of Tibetan origin, created usually by melding together subconsciousness of several individuals. Once the Tulpa is created, it starts a life on its own: there is nothing binding it to anything, which means it can potentially become a major problem. The more people believe in its existence, the stronger it gets: it feeds and thrives on the collective subconsciousness of the humans that believe in it. However, this can also be used as an antidote of sorts; if enough people believing in Tulpa, including its original creators, are convinced othervise (i.e. they believed Tulpa was a man, but were convinced that it's actually a woman) the Tulpa can be altered, or even destroyed.
