The rebel past of a Tibetan Lama

Lama Yeshe Losal Rinpoche was raised to live an austere monastic life, but that all changed when he fled Tibet for the West.

Yeshe Losal Rinpoche is a Lama who runs a monastery and Buddhist centre in rural Scotland. As you might expect his days are filled with meditation and contemplation, but life hasn't always been so serene - he shares tales of a dramatic Himalayan mountain escape, dancing and decadence on the New York disco scene and hanging out with David Bowie.
