A talk I gave at the Theravada Dhamma Society (a Burmese Buddhist group) in Daly City, CA in 2016, before my last trip to Burma.

Do you still give Dhamma talks regularly? Are these recorded/uploaded anywhere?
I rarely give public talks lately, since living at a Burmese "temple" in the west. When living among westerners I tend to talk in public more, and I plan to move into the midst of a population of westerners in the near future, so I may give public lectures again.
In your video "July 02, 2016 Four Kinds of Theravadha in the West" you appear more optimistic about sharing the Dhamma with Westerners. Your recent videos comes across as more blackpilled or perhaps more cynical as to the state of Buddhism in the West and its future. Do you think that establishing authentic Dhamma in the West is possible at this point? If so, what are the real world steps to make that happen?
I think I'll answer this in the next Q&A, if you please.
