In conversation with Buddhist nun, scholar, and activist Ven. Karma Lekshe Tsomo, tracing her remarkable arc from surfing in 1950s Malibu to ordination under the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. On hitchhiking through Southeast Asia, surf contests in 1960s Japan, Zen and copying the Heart Sutra. On women's traditions within Buddhist orders, surfing as meditation. On Vipassana, near fatal snake bites, to living with 348 percepts. On navigating the importance of ethics, on consciousness, a critique of secular mindfulness commodification. The importance of debate within Buddhism. On being kind, on Dharamsala, on grief and death, on supernormal powers, advice for finding a teacher, on comparative philosophy, on the current discourse revolving the struggle for Tibet. On the Holiness the Dalai Lama, on perseverance, on the listening to birds, on the current moment. On insight, on death, on the importance of ultimately living for others.Excerpts On SurfingI found surfing quite spiritual because, you're alone out in the ocean. It's quiet. You get a totally different perspective on life because you're not one of the little ants running around. You've got a sort of meta view of human society, which is, quite instructive.On Peace and LoveI'm still trying to figure that out. Especially in the current climate. How do you account for that? It seemed to me that peace and love were the answer and that everyone. If everyone were full of peace and love, then we would have a happy world. And so why? And then, of course, Buddhism was very helpful because it pointed out that it's our self cherishing, it's our obsession with our ourself that messes everything up. People are struggling, clawing and scraping to get their own advantage. And of course, that interferes with all their relationships and destroys their personal happiness. And very few people really figure it out.On FreedomAnd when one of the monks cut my hair, it was the most freeing experience of my life. I saw my hair drop into my lap and I thought, whoa, free at last.On the Dangers of Mindfulness without EthicsYou can kill someone very mindfully. You can rob a bank very mindfully. If you don't have any ethical foundations for your mindfulness practice, it can go all wrong.On ActionBelief is cheap. You can say anything you want and even some of the greatest religious leaders have had doubts apparently, including up to and including Mother Teresa. But how do we live our lives? That's the important thing. How do we try to create happiness for ourselves and others?How do we avoid harming ourselves and others? These are the questions that Buddhism takes up.On Supernormal Powers and Ethical ConductSuper normal powers are no surprise if we train our minds well. Our minds are capable of so much more than we credit them for.These are not the aim of Buddhist practice, but they are, there are many records legends and also texts that document attainments. The descriptions of supernormal powers occur in the very earliest strata.On RealityWe take things to exist as they appear, but we all know that's false.It's an illusion, this desk, it looks so solid. One match it's history, right? It's toast. So the Buddhists are very good at questioning the question, things like appearance and reality.On AwarenessConsciousness is a string of conscious moments, from the moment of conception, it's only one moment back to the last moment of our previous lifetime. If we meditate we can track it back. Every moment is precious. Listen to the birds - remember that human life is impermanent. That our time on this precious planet is limited. That every moment is precious and we should do, try to make the most not waste even a moment. We can gain insight, awakening in this present moment.

On this episode I have the pleasure of interviewing a great friend of mine Christian 'CV' Vallido. Christian “CV” Vallido is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (and a few hours shy from licensure). San Diego, born and raised and he received his masters from the University of San Diego (USD) and his bachelors from San Diego State Univeristy (SDSU). Currently he is providing therapy for individuals, couples and families at UCSD Health. On this episode we talk about strategies and best practices on how to best handle and manage anxiety and stress.

In this episode of Wine and Dime I chat with self proclaimed nerd, Ryan Inman. Ryan is a very driven individual who keeps himself very busy with many different endeavors! He owns a fee only financial planning practice specializing in Doctors called Loan Buddy (https://www.loanbuddy.us/) . Ryan is truly passionate about helping people with their Student Loan Debt, and I guess that’s why we get along so well. We talk about all those things and much more, so be sure to tune in a check it out! Ryan InmanI graduated from the University of San Diego (USD) with a BA in Business Administration, an MA in Accounting and Financial Management, and an MA in Business Administration. During grad school, I worked at Merrill Lynch under a fantastic advisor, but soon realized that the average advisor in the industry was more concerned with selling financial products and obtaining new clients with investable assets than working with those who could really use the financial guidance to succeed in life. That really turned me off from the industry, so I switched gears and worked for KPMG in public accounting. During my second year, I was fortunate to run into an old friend who was a CFP® and a fee-only financial planner. He introduced me to the concept of fee-only financial planning, where planners put their clients first, don’t sell products, and are true fiduciaries. It sounded too good to be true. I decided to join his firm where I had an amazing hands-on experience learning what true financial planning was all about – working with clients and helping them achieve their financial goals! While I enjoyed my time there, I ultimately learned I didn’t want to work with the ultra-wealthy as much as young physicians who were starting their careers and could really benefit from truly unbiased, quality financial advice. I have an intimate knowledge of the pains, struggles, and joys that come from a career in medicine. I know what it’s like to be buried in debt while your physician spouse makes next to nothing and spends every fourth night in the hospital. I understand what you’re going through; my wife and I have been there. I started my fee-only practice to help physicians sleep well at night knowing they have a trusted advisor who is guiding them toward financial independence. This is my family practice. My goal is to take care of you while you take care of your patients. I’ll be accessible when you are – in the evenings after you get your kids to bed, during your commute home, or in between patients. Short of the overnight shift, consider me on-call. Physician Wealth Services (https://physicianwealthservices.com/) (PWS) is a fee-only financial planning practice helping physician families take control of their finances to position themselves for a bright financial future. Sleeping well at night knowing they have a trusted advisor who is guiding them toward financial independence is exactly why we’re here. Our goal is to take care of you while you take care of your patients. We will be accessible when you are – in the evenings after you get your kids to bed, during your commute home, or in between patients. Short of the overnight shift, consider us on-call.

Take this journey with me to the West Coast. It's hard growing up in the LBC right? Well Casp3r, an emerging indie artist out of Los Angeles has done just that. Casp3r is a 20 year old from LA attending college in San Diego - USD to be exact, where he does small venues to showcase his music at open mic night around the city and open to more opportunities to share his craft with the world in the LA or SD area. Rather he is in the studio, collaborating with other artist or on the yard studying, you better "Watch Out." Once Casp3r gets ahold of the mic, "It's Over!" Stick around for the ride with Casp3r, as he takes you through some his highs and lows in his life journey through his music on his upcoming project " i.AM.Lost." In Casp3r's own words, "Its no where to go but up from here!" --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/officiallyout/message

When doctors told Coach Wells, she will never be able to run again, something she prides herself in doing having run numerous marathons, Coach Wells proved the doctors wrong.  Today, Coach Wells is almost fully recovered and back in the park running and helping her clients get in shape through her one on one training and her Tone At Home Facebook page, which provides exercise, nutrition and weight loss tips. Coach Wells turned near tragedy into triumph and shares her knowledge and wisdom on the importance of exercise and nutrition to achieving fitness goals.  This and much more is in this very informative and inspiring episode.
