This Tibetan Monk Proved Mind Control to Harvard Scientists: Ancient Secrets of Bon & Dzogchen

We travel deep into the Himalayas to uncover the ancient soul of Tibet. Our guest is the extraordinary Geshe Gelek Jinpa—a monk, scholar, and real-life explorer of lost Himalayan kingdoms. From his childhood as a young nomad to proving the physical power of Tummo (inner heat) to Harvard scientists in freezing conditions, his life journey is nothing short of incredible. In this podcast, we explore the ancient Bon tradition—Tibet's original spiritual path that predates Buddhism. We dive into how enlightened masters view science, logic, and the concept of God. Geshe Gelek Jinpa also opens up about the mind-bending phenomenon of Tukdam, a post-death meditation state where a practitioner's body remains completely fresh, glowing, and untouched by decay for days or even weeks.
