Episode 1: Ian Baker [00:47:08] May 27th 2017 Lindsey Kimura and Edward Reib interview Ian Baker regarding The Heart of the World and other Beyul, working with The Dalai Lama, the Jungian Shadow, The Art of Tibetan Healing, and present day devotees of Yeshe Tsogyal, the Mother of Tibetan Buddhism.  Yeshe Tsogyal Padmasambhava's principal student and disciple was the Tibetan Queen Yeshe Tsogyal, the wife of Trisong Detsen. After a time, Padmasambhava left Tibet and returned to India, and Yeshe Tsogyal became the primary source of his teachings. Developing among the Mahasiddhas ("Great Adepts") of India beginning in the 3rd century CE, Vajrayāna was the third major development of Buddhism after the original Śrāvakayāna (also called "Hinayana"), and Mahayana. Vajrayāna is known as "The Quick Path" and can be directly translated as both "Diamond Vehicle" and "Thunderbolt Vehicle". Many of the gods of Tibet's ancient Bön religion were incorporated into what we now know as Tibetan Buddhism and were re-branded as "Dharma-Protectors". These along with the Śrāvakayāna, Mahayana, and Vajrayāna Sutras from India, some influence from Chan (Zen) in China, the Madhyamaka tradition of Nagarjuna, the Yogācāra tradition of Asanga, and the logical and epistemological thought of Dharmakirti laid the foundation of the earliest form of Tibetan Buddhism which was retroactively named "Nyingma" ("Ancient"). This was the basis of the Tibetan Buddhist schools which followed: Kagyu ("Oral Lineage"), Sakya ("Pale Earth"), and Gelug ("Yellow Hat"). The Kagyu school is headed by the His Holiness the Gyalwang Karmapa and introduced the idea of the leader being a Bodhisattva who reincarnates again and again into that same role. The current Karmapa is said to be the 17th incarnation of the original Karmapa, Düsum Khyenpa. The Sakya school is currently headed by the 41st Sakya Trizin. In the Sakya school the leadership role is passed down through a hereditary system between the male members of the Sakya branch of the Khon family. Gelug is the most recent and well-known school of Tibetan Buddhism today, as it is that of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, said to be the 14th incarnation of the original Dalai Lama, Gedun Gyatso. The podcast What Would Yeshe Do? features interviews with guests who specialize in or have special interest in some aspect of Tibetan Buddhism.
