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

Yeshe Tsogyal é uma das principais figuras femininas do budismo, adorada por inúmeros praticantes. Nasceu no ano de 777, na região do Karchen, no Tibete. Muito de sua biografia é embelezado com detalhes fantásticos que parecem pouco críveis para quem não é adepto da filosofia Conta-se no entanto, que Yeshe Tsogyal teve um nascimento digno de uma Buda: sua mãe não sofreu ao dar à luz e o som de mantras era ouvido no local. Além disso, um lago próximo dobrou de tamanho quando Yeshe Tsogyal nasceu, daío significado de seu nome “a rainha do lago da sabedoria”. Nascida em uma família proeminente da região, Yeshe Tsogyal era uma princesa muito cobiçada por homens poderosos do Tibete – inclusive o próprio imperador. Afeita às práticas religiosas desde a infância, a princesa nunca quis se casar. Aos 16 anos, ela foi forçada a se casar com o imperador tibetano Tri Songdetsen. Pouco tempo depois do casamento, o grande mestre budista Padmasambhāva chegou da Índia para espalhar o conhecimento budista no Tibete. Como sinal de sua devoção, o imperador ofereceu sua esposa, Yeshe Tsogyal, para o guru. Padmasambhāva aceitou Yeshe Tsogyal como sua consorte e principal aluna. Sob a orientação do guru, Yeshe Tsogyal passou a maior parte de sua vida em retiro, completamente isolada para cultivar a estabilidade meditativa mesmo nas condições mais adversas – desabrigada na neve, por exemplo. Após anos de prática incessante, Yeshe Tsogyal se tornou uma mestre espiritual do mesmo nível de Padmasambhāva ( uma espécie de vice-Buda). Sua disciplina e conduta são consideradas exemplos para todos os praticantes budistas até hoje, e inúmeros milagres são atribuídos a ela. Para os tibetanos e para praticantes budistas de outras nacionalidades, Yeshe Tsogyal é um ser atemporal, continua ativa e eternamente presente, atenta às preces de seus devotos.

BT recites Cantos 1 through 3 of "The Life and Liberation of Padmasambhava" by Yeshe Tsogyal.

Yeshe Tsogyal, the leading female presence of Tibet, appears in two distinct genres of literature, autobiographical and ritual practice texts (sādhana). In this talk, Anne Carolyn Klein/Rigzin Drolma drew on recent practice texts related writings to conclude that this sādhana is at core a conversation about one's own relation to a divine feminine, which gradually reveals a wholistic divine, a non-binary writ large, that is nonetheless fully feminine in image and metaphor.

In this episode, we speak with Dr. Jue Liang about her beginnings as a scholar of Tibetan Buddhism, the life of the Tibetan saint Yeshe Tsogyal, and the broader topic of women in Buddhism. How should we think about the place of women in Buddhist philosophy, narrative, and practice? How do scholars attempt to recover the lives of women who are often forgotten in Buddhist history? And how does thinking with and about gender help us—whatever our gender—understand Buddhism? We also preview her upcoming online course, BSO 105 | Women and Buddhism, which will explore these issues in more depth! Speaker BioDr. Jue Liang is a scholar of Tibetan Buddhist literature, history, and culture, and is Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow at Denison University  and incoming Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at Wittenberg University in Fall 2022. She received her Ph.D. in Religious Studies from the University of Virginia. Her dissertation, Conceiving the Mother of Tibet: The Life, Lives, and Afterlife of the Buddhist Saint Yeshe Tsogyel, examines the literary tradition surrounding the matron saint of Tibet, Yeshe Tsogyel, in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. It also presents the blossoming of this literary tradition in tandem with the efforts to trace their religious pedigree and define what counts as authentic Buddhism by Nyingma Tibetan Buddhists.She is currently working on a second book project titled Who Is a Buddhist Feminist: Theorizing Gender and Religion in Contemporary Tibet. It is a study on the history, discourse, and social effects of the khenmo program, a gender-equality initiative that has been taking place at Tibetan Buddhist institutions in China for the past three decades. Jue is also an active participant in discussions on Buddhism in both academic and public forums.LinksBSO 105 | Women and Buddhism
