I love and appreciate the info, but I gotta say that Andrew references a lot several of the tibetan men who have a lot of well known extensive abuse allegations (Sogyal, Trungpa etc), so it's hard to listen to and makes me question the level of dharma. Many of their senior western students also enabled their abuse for decades. We can't let american dharma become just a male intellectual exercise, spiritual materialism.
