From a Mountain in Tibet by Lama Yeshe Losal Rinpoche

From a Mountain in Tibet by Lama Yeshe Losal Rinpoche in conversation with Dr Desmond Biddulph Public online talk hosted by The Buddhist Society during lockdown 17th October 2020 With his customary erudition and humour, Lama Yeshe will be talking about his very personal book From a Mountain in Tibet, and how the most desperate of situations can help us to uncover vital life lessons and attain lasting peace and contentment. Lama Yeshe didn't see a car until he was fifteen years old. In his quiet village, he and other children ran through fields with yaks and mastiffs. The rhythm of life was anchored by the pastoral cycles. The arrival of Chinese army cars in 1959 changed everything. In the wake of the deadly Tibetan Uprising, he escaped to India through the Himalayas as a refugee. One of only 13 survivors out of 300 travellers, he spent the next few years in America, experiencing the excesses of the Woodstock generation before reforming in Europe. Now in his seventies and a leading monk at the Samye Ling monastery in Scotland - the first Buddhist centre in the West - Lama Yeshe casts a hopeful look back at his momentous life. From his learnings on self-compassion and discipline to his trials and tribulations with loss and failure, his poignant story mirrors our own struggles. Lama Yeshe Losal Rinpoche is the Abbot of Kagyu Samye Ling Monastery and Tibetan Centre, founded in 1967 by his late brother Akong Tulku Rinpoche. Lama Yeshe is also the director of the internationally acclaimed Holy Island Project, and the much loved and respected Retreat and Meditation Master for a host of students from around the world. Born in East Tibet in 1943, he attended the Dolma Lhakang Monastery. In 1959, after a ten-months journey, Lama Yeshe escaped Tibet and arrived in India. Then, in 1967, he served as Private Secretary to His Holiness the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa at Rumtek Monastery in Sikkim. In 1969 Lama Yeshe joined Akong Tulku Rinpoche and Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche in Scotland where they had founded Kagyu Samye Ling, the first Tibetan Buddhist Monastery in Europe.
