Tseyang details the practicalities as well as the dangers of spending months in the remote mountains, and the unique challenges of being a female practitioner in today’s world.

Such an admirable woman practicing and meditating at such a young age . Unlike people her age involved in materialistic careers and money making , she is truly using her body and time to gain liberation from Samsara. I rejoice in her courage and strength to delve in deep practice. She truly is using her body and time as a boat to cross the ocean of samsara. Such people are the true winners in life . Like many masters say not practicing the dharma when you are born in land where the Dharma flourishes is like going to the land of gold and returning empty handed . She is collecting gold this lifetime for her next lifetime 💕💕💕💕
Really true for what u have said
If she is harvestable, her next lifetime will not be in a 3rd density meat-suit, beneath the veil of forgetfulness and, as you say, in samsara, but rather, in a 4th density light-body. See the Ra Material. For the time of Harvest is now. Making every effort in this direction is not so much admirable, as it is but merely, in a word, sane. Only the ego, by the way, needs "admiration", for only the ego thinks it is both apart and special. How can it be difficult to do what has already in truth been wholly accomplished?
This is such a beautiful and unique interview on so many levels.
Firstly, there aren't many interviews online of aspiring female Tibetan Buddhist practitioners (especially the ones who don't take the typical path of living in nunneries).
Secondly, Steve was very calm and gave her all the time and space to be able to speak from her heart without interrupting her. You could see her lighten up towards the end and smiling a lot.
Tseyang Osel, I really pray for your practice to go well and may you benefit all sentient beings. If possible, please do a follow up interview. It would really serve as a great source of inspiration for many aspiring practitioners like me.
Steve, may you have many blessings for doing such beneficial work 🙏🏿
!
Steve you have interviewed many scholars and intellectual people. But this interview is different.
OSEL'S has truly shown that in today's time there great spiritual young people who has no fears to take the challenges to achieve to be bhodhisattva. And we are encouraged and motivated to do Dharma practices with whole heart. This interview has touched our heart and encouraged me that we too can do Dharma .🙏🌹🦋🧚♀️
It must have taken a lot of effort for her to do this in English, but I am very grateful to her for this. Thank you for the video. I wish her great attainment!
Yes. What a challenge to communicate complex thoughts ideas in another language. Wow; so exciting to see an authentic unveiled interview and hear the language challenge. Thank You :)
Wow..such a beautiful interview. The interviewer himself looks like an enlightened soul listening patiently and allowing the interviewee to speak freely and wholly. He is smart and articulate in his asking of question. Hats off to you man.
Wow.. everything about her is inspirational, the way she sits, the way she is trying her best to put her thoughts into words, her patience... everything. I wish i could find more of her videos
Tseyang miss u a lot I hope u remember me Kesang we met in dharamsala .. ❤ vary happy to see u 😢 after almost 4 yrs I see u .. miss u lots of love ❤️ take care and thanks for everything u did 4 us ..
Steve in fact seems a great interviewer. Through out he listened so patiently and sincerely without any judgements.
What a beautiful soul she is, am so glad to have watched this. 🙏🏽
Such a great and inspiring interview, in so many ways. I don't speak one word of Bhutanese so really appreciate Tseyang Osel speaking English. I wish her all the best in her retreat 💖💖💖
Namaskar 🙏 I”m from Nepal 🇳🇵.
❤ How exquisitely beautiful ❤
wonderful and inspiring Yogini to learn about. I rejoice in her journey, may her life be long and auspicious and attain nirvana and help sentient beings ()()() Thank you for sharing ()()()
I fully admire her mountain practic.
Ooh my god that is you Tshewang Deki😮I couldn’t recognize you in the beginning after so many years I am able to see you here. I really wish you to meet in future. U r going so long proud of you 👍🙏 49:42 🙏🙏
Thank you Steve for the podcast with Tseyang Osel and thank you Tseyang Osel for your inspiration and encouragement by your example
I also love VajraYogini.🙏🏼🌈🙏🏼📿🙏🏼💐🙏🏼💎🙏🏼✨🙏🏼
Oh she's a great one. I share her passion for VY but from the perspective of Kalachakra. Thank you to VY for giving a full transmission of that lineage. And to all my Khecharis...welcome and thank you for coming. The combination of Kalachakra and Yogini and a certain form of high technologies (not some SpaceX nonsense) literally already changed the game for everyone. The Dakini batphone is easier than ever to call now.
The way you indulge fully in her conversation and the gift of your genuine respect is astonishing. I appreciate your patience and non-judgemental approach to your interviews.
Wonderful interview with Tseyang Osel la. Thank you for this interesting podcast.
Wonderful, both feet on the ground , fortunate inspiration .
One of the great masters of the future, I'm sure.
I think I met her personally. She seems great human being. I wish to practice like her.❤
Meditation heals and calms you.. such a beautiful soul she is
Her English is quite good, for a “high school dropout”-her use of idioms, prepositional tenses, and “like” 😂suggest she’s had a good deal of practice both reading (texting or email, maybe?) and also speaking with native speakers her own age (presuming she’s in her 20s or 30s). Likely she also speaks her local language plus standard Dzongkha and probably classical (literary) Tibetan, as well.
Always fascinated by serious practitioners who are also polyglots, but probably not a rarity in Bhutan, a tiny country with a couple dozen indigenous languages, surrounded by BIG countries with giant populations using major world languages.
She seems very earnest and humble, may her journey be of benefit to all.🙏
@@lucydiamond2598 It is entirely banal that any person can speak the current lingua franca, in no way did I imply that the learning of English is a feat worthy of fascination. I simply commended her on her mastery of a language which is not her L1 (and her probably mastery of other languages). She doesn’t seem exotic to me, she just seems like a normal middle class Bhutanese lady who decided to become a hermit yogi. I’m not exactly sure whom you mean by “those people”, or why I wouldn’t expect them to use prepositional tenses, but many learners of English find them difficult (I know as a person who taught ESL for five years). Either way, your language seems kinda dog whistle-y to me, and I’m not a dog.
@@baizhanghuaihai2298 In fact, her English is very poor. Unfortunately, her speech is practically incomprehensible. English is perhaps the easiest language in the world, but apparently it is difficult for people of some nationalities.
@@mispanludensprinck5652 I understood her perfectly well, though I shouldn’t have said she has a mastery of English. But she can communicate her thoughts and I find her easy to understand, if a bit halting. I agree that English is not a difficult language (for Europeans especially), though it depends on the language-family background of a learner, as well as individual language learning aptitude, of course. I’m mostly just curious when she’s had enough time to learn basic English well enough for an interview like this, with all her time spent in the mountains from a fairly young age and whatnot. Though, as others have said, nothing expansive here in terms of ground breaking info.
@@baizhanghuaihai2298 I don't think she could express her thoughts in English. For example, she couldn't explain where she gets her food in the mountains. I think she must have been regularly supplied by someone. And what did she take on her trip to the mountains? Barley, rice and chocolate? But I think she is highly intelligent and could perfect her English if she had the chance.
@@mispanludensprinck5652 Totally. She couldn’t think of the word “flour”, for example. Lol she was looking for the word and I love how Steve was like, “I think everybody knows: tsampa.”😂 Ummm…maybe on your channel, dude.
It is true that a lot of ‘wildernessy folk’ do bring and consume chocolate, but that was particularly funny. And yes, she must have somebody regularly bringing her supplies, as all solitary retreatants I have known most certainly do. No doubt she could perfect her English (or likely any language) to a high degree, she does seem like quite a sharp individual.
It was interesting. I feel like I did not get too much new information, but her presence was inspiring.
Glad to see a old friend after so many years. Happy to see you healthy and thriving.
Is she Tshewang Deki ?
@@sharingcaringhappinessplat379 tats rite.
Thank you so much. Do you have contact with her?
@@sharingcaringhappinessplat379 unfortunately no.
oh ok, if you happen to get please drop me la
Feel so so happy to see this interview
It felt like a meditation.
Thank you🤗
Inspiring and encouraging to be a practitioner in the natural wilderness, thank you.
this is a one of very unique interviews, specially its inspired a lot of youth life. today youth are facing lots of difficult life for spending hard challenges because of too much competition and depend on materials value even we don't have a time to see our inner self or introspection. life is one, so should have a meaningful and happy but lots of peoples are facing miserable instead be happy, we are so much issued living complex world. after getting the video reflection we still have a time to think our inner self....which make u true happiness froevers.
Please ask Yogini Osel short, specific questions. She wanders present-past.
Does not have strong descriptive English. Thank you and happy to hear her courage and gentleness
I understood her
@@stevenbarton5949 thx Steven, the sound was good. Just suggesting you give someone who is not fluent in English short questions. Be well.
Thank you for this interview. It has inspired me to return to yoga after more than a decade away. It appeared at the right time for me and I found this lovely lady inspirational.
Your channel is by far the most inspiring I found on youtube. Thank you very much for what you do !
Thank you so much for bringing such an interesting story to the audiences. god bless you. kyabsumchhe from nepal. bhutan is really blessed by guru rimpoche and the king.
Wonderful , one in a million . Even thought Bhutan claim to be Buddhist country , it's as rare as stars in the day light to see such a young practitioner especially a female practitioner. I respect you and may you dwell in the path of pathless dimension .
Thank you for what you are bringing into the world - both of you! Sarva mangalam
Thank you for hosting a very meaningful podcast.
I felt like time slowdown while I am watching this, such a beautiful podcast.. Thank you so much 🙂
Such divine souls r the real healers of this world.🌷🙏
Steve ,truely amazing person you have
interviewed. Osel is great inspiration for us.
Lekso! Lekso! I don't know how I encountered this precious talk but for people like me it is really inspiring and touching a heart. I don't know completely about her but I felt more connected with her advices and her preaching. I don't know her but I saw her today only. Bless us so that we can also follow your footsteps and realize the truth of all phenomena.
Very indepth interview with thoughtful questions and intelligent answers. This was informative and delightful. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful experience. It is really encouraging.

Great speech
Are you there? so wonderful....will enjoy this interview for sure, thank you for all the passion to these topics
It 's quite the effort to verbalize spiritual experiences in a foreign language that now lacks many traditional words - to the point that certain accounts resonate as familiar and accurately described - a moment of recognition which is always rewarding and comforting, across cultural thresholds.
Rules and institutions are good until the mind is structured and agile enough to realize how much of an obstacle they can become, leading to the paradox practices e.g. of secret consorts which is really just the unpretentious, compassionate companionship, ordinary 'nomad' marriage should be.
It can't be completely reduced to that, but in way, Buddhism answers the question 'what a proper nomad is like' which seems trivial when it comes to animal husbandry, but not in regard to the ignored motions of the soul which would be _a tragedy_ if missed, habitually without being recognized in it's blessing.
The questions were thoughtful, well structured and paced - giving room for an _informal exploration_ of them.
_'Somewhere a female is warming up with one's maximum effort practice'_ ...
For this kind of retreat, merit is the no 1 factor. Most of us don't have it..., and it is obvious from some of the comments :-) In our next lives, maybe!
Very inspiring la..🙏🙏🙏
What an awesome and inspiring interview. We do same practice too! I wish with all my heart I could be a solitary practitioner in the power places of the Himalayas.I wonder if she knows about the Tummo specialist nuns of Tibet. They would really inspire her.

'Chaampaa' or 'Saampaa' or 'Saathu' is rosted grain flour. It need not be cooked and can be added into the hot or cold water or tea or milk or soup and consumed. Any candy sweets wrapped are called 'chocolates' in those area.

Inspiring one
This was fascinating as a fellow Viking living in Vermont and practicing in my studio, I liked the style of conversation, the honesty. I look forward to more of these.
