In this episode, I am once again joined by Lopon Yudron Wangmo, American teacher of Tibetan Buddhism and author of several books including her recent “Clearing the Way to Awakening”. Lopon Yudron Wangmo shares the story of her life, her childhood with a spiritualist mother, anecdotes of childhood psychic explorations in automatic writing and other techniques, and reflects on whether psychic abilities are inherent or cultivated. Lopon Yudron Wangmo recounts how she became a radical lesbian feminist at university, details the social and theoretical aspects of that movement and time, and reveals the surprising choices she made when relating to male Tibetan teachers as a feminist. Lopon Yudron Wangmo also discusses the pitfalls of performing death rites such as phowa for others, explains why she does not emphasise her feminism and politics in her dharma teaching, and considers the healing power of reparenting by taking the guru as a father figure. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep309-my-radical-life-lopon-yudron-wangmo-2 Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'. … 01:08 - Yudron's unusual spiritualist, new age mother 03:50 - Lawyer father 04:57 - Early attraction to Tibetan Buddhism 06:19 - Likelihood of past life connections 07:11 - Early interests in environmentalism and solar energy 08:51 - Psychic readings, automatic writing, and hands-on healing 10:06 - Are psychic powers gifts or can they be cultivated? 12:09 - More stories of Yudron's psychic mother 14:28 - Yudron reflects on her mother's final years and death 17:06 - Performing phowa and other death practices for others 18:21 - Remarkable death of Yudron's father 19:28 - Affluent background affords opportunities for spiritual seeking 21:27 - Going to university and becoming a radical lesbian feminist 22:54 - Impressed by Yeshe Tsogyal's life story and other female practitioners 25:34 - Letting go of radical feminism to pursue the dharma 26:21 - Relating to male Tibetan teachers as a feminist 27:26 - What attracted Yudron to radical lesbian feminism 30:40 - Today's backlash against feminism 33:00 - Conflicting theoretical and philosophical approaches to radical feminism 35:11 - United in building woman power 37:12 - Working on anger and Vajrakīlāya practice 41:27 - Giving up female chauvinism and relating to male Tibetan lamas 43:49 - Stories of great female practitioners 44:24 - Being typecast as an angry feminist 45:24 - Why Yudron doesn't criticise Tibetan culture 46:02 - Rage about abuse of women by Lamas 46:33 - Yudron's desire to teach pure dharma and not mix in her politics 49:43 - Why Yudron didn't challenge her lamas with feminist ideas 5149 - The lama as a father figure, reparenting, and the influence of Yudron's lamas 54:10 - Dropping one's storyline and going beyond trivialities 55:48 - Motivated to counteract abusive lamas 58:05 - Americans are discouraged from teaching Tibetan Buddhism 58:51 - What to look for in a dharma teacher 01:00:55 - Sycophants vs finding the inner lama 01:02:27 - Fading interest in Tibetan Buddhism 01:03:26 - Dharma teachers should be full time 01:04:16 - The ideal amount of money and pastoralist rhythms 01:05:34 - Two extremes of converts 01:07:22 - Becoming soft 01:08:26 - Dharma teachers vs mindfulness teachers 01:09:53 - Yudron reflects on Theravada meditation and the appeal of Sharon Salzberg 01:11:35 - Prophecies of an impending dark age 01:12:38 - Simplifying dharma teaching 01:15:36 - Yudron asks for Steve's opinion 01:16:43 - Ben Joffe and relating with spirits 01:17:36 - Steve reflects on the five perfections 01:18:38 - Yudron on the pros and cons of ritual … Previous episode with Lopon Yudron Wangmo: - https://www.guruviking.com/search?q=yudron To find our more about Lopon Yudron Wangmo, visit: - https://www.yudronwangmo.com/ For more interviews, videos, and more visit: - https://www.guruviking.com Music ‘Deva Dasi' by Steve James

According to the FBI, there are 33,000 gangs in America.  Think of how many horrific videos we've seen of thugs attacking people randomly. Or footage of flash gangs robbing stores. These menaces to our society have even attacked police officers in Times Square. This is happening in Anytown, USA.  Dr. Phil sits down with residents from Gilbert, Arizona where an affluent gang of teens known as the “Gilbert Goons” have been terrorizing the town. What confuses so many is that the teens come from affluence, yet they resort to selling drugs, guns, and beating random teens on the street. Their violent actions went unchecked until the authorities say the “goons” fatally beat a 16-year-old at a Halloween party. Now the community has galvanized to call out the authorities who did nothing to stop the teen violence. Katey is a mother of four and a resident of Gilbert who did her own investigation into the “goons” reign of terror. She says the city turned a blind eye because these are kids from privileged backgrounds. Rick sent his son to Europe for his safety after his son was brutally beaten by the “Goons.” And Eric, a former gang member, tells Dr Phil how a gang life is a dead end. Plus, News on Merit Street anchor, Loni Coombs did her own investigation and uncovers a teen source who happens to have ties to the “Goons.” Thank you to our sponsors: Preserve Gold: Visit: https://drphilgold.com/  Get a FREE precious metals guide that contains essential information on how to help protect your accounts.

The Los Angeles wildfires have caused unprecedented devastation, with the Palisades Fire becoming the most destructive in the city's history. As of January 12, 2025, the fires have claimed at least 16 lives, destroyed over 12,000 structures, and forced approximately 153,000 residents to evacuate. High winds, reaching up to 100 mph, have exacerbated the situation, grounding firefighting aircraft and spreading the flames unpredictably. Affluent neighborhoods, including Brentwood and Bel Air, home to numerous celebrities, are under threat, with evacuation orders in place. The economic impact is estimated between $135 and $150 billion.In response to the escalating crisis, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) has taken over the investigation into the origin of the Palisades Fire. This decision follows concerns about potential causes, including arson and power grid faults, as reported by local authorities. The ATF's involvement aims to provide a thorough and impartial examination to determine the fire's cause and prevent future occurrences. Meanwhile, firefighting efforts continue, with over 1,400 firefighters, including volunteers and teams from neighboring states, battling the blazes amid challenging conditions.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Los Angeles wildfires: Crews report progress but wind warnings remain through Wednesday | CNNHow did the L.A. fires start?

Scott Kerr speaks to Andrea Zagato and his wife Marella Rivolta Zagato, the powerhouse duo leading the legendary Italian design house and coachbuilding company Zagato. CEO Andrea Zagato discusses how his grandfather Ugo grew a small coach build company in Milan more than a century ago into a top name in automotive design and forging long-standing partnerships with Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, Ferrari, Maserati, and many others. They both talk about why Zagato renews itself every 10 years, its 'rationalist' design philosophy, creating automotive 'works of art' for wealthy clients, the challenges and opportunities of the electrification era, and using ambassadors rather than dealers to promote its projects.
