He has taught extensively in both the UK and the US, and is now teaching in Canada. He is admired by students because of his practical knowledge, warm presentations and authentic teachings, as well as his natural joy and sense of humour. He is skilled at putting everyone at ease and helping them solve their problems and anxieties with practical Dharma advice.
At Kadampa Meditation Centre Canada, he teaches the Sunday morning class, the Tuesday evening class, the Wednesday morning class, as well as special courses, retreats, and two in-depth study programmes; the Foundation Programme and the Teacher Training Programme.
