Tulku Yeshi Rinpoche will share how his spiritual life developed while residing and teaching at Sakya Monastery. He will discuss what he learned about Western culture and mind and how to preserve the Dharma so that it can flourish in the West. He will share some of the teaching and advice he received directly from H.H. Dagchen Rinpoche and H.E. Dagmo Kushola. Questions are welcome about his life. He also wants to learn how to better relate to Westerners in order to help them study and practice the Dharma.
