Dharma in the West

From DmesWiki

"Dharma in the West" is a slightly edited transcript of a series of talks given by Geshe Michael Roach during the last year he was teaching in New York, from 1998 to 1999. During that time, he took a few minutes before each class to talk about the various aspects of how he foresaw the transmission Buddhist dharma to western countries, including how to run a center, how to teach, how to relate to non-Buddhists, etc.
