He is Emeritus of Tibetan and Buddhist Studies at the University of Virginia, where he taught for more than three decades since 1973.[2] He has authored more than twenty-five books about Tibetan Buddhism, among them the highly influential Meditation on Emptiness,[3] which appeared in 1983, offering a pioneering exposition of Prasangika-Madyamika thought in the Geluk tradition.
