Would you enroll in a Tibetan monastic college in India or Nepal? Meet four westerners who did just that, many of whom still continue their decade of rigorous study today. This public session was facilitated by Robert Miller, who was director of education at a monastery in India, and features four western students from Tibetan monastic colleges: Katrin Querl (Drikung Kagyu College, Dehra Dun), Simon Houlton (Institute of Buddhist Dialectics, Dharamsala), Matt Weiss (Sera Je Monastic University, Bylakuppe), and Gerd Klintschar (Rangjung Yeshe Institute, Kathmandu).

How can we be active participants in this process? What role do translators and Western teachers have in this globalized process? What is transmission, really? Two Western teachers and two translators will discuss all these issues and more in this wonderful meeting of minds.
