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.
During her 20s, Vicky Beeching was one of the most successful musicians on America's Christian rock music scene. But Vicky carried a secret; one that she knew would destroy her career if it ever got out.聽 After years of hiding the truth, she decided to reveal it and the fallout was as bad as she had feared. She's written a book about her experience, it's called Undivided.
