Geshe Michael Roach and staff from the Diamond Cutter Institute are now touring the world year-round, providing free public talks and weekend "Business Retreats" in countries on almost all continents.
A one-month tour of Asia in December 2009 brought audiences out from Taipei City, Hong Kong, Singapore and Ho Chi Minh City to see an all-new style of presentation... Diamond Cutter Institute staff were on stage with Geshe Michael, collaborating in Debate demonstrations, Meditations, Yoga Demonstrations, live Questions and Answers and much more. Many people who have been able to attend events with Geshe Michael in the past were treated to an entirely new experience and made new connections with him and the Diamond Cutter Institute organization.

 In Taipei City more than 1,000 people came each night to see Geshe
Michael and crew of Venerable Lobsang Chukyi, Venerable Lobsang Nyingpo
and Venerable Jigme Palmo shake things up on stage with a live
demonstration of Tibetan Debate used to debunk the assumptions human beings usually make about the nature of their reality.
Geshe Michael talked about the
effects of Yoga in "Younger Every Year", with a yoga demonstration in a
business suit! Rob Hou, Jessica Kung and Stephane Dreyfus answered questions with Geshe Michael in front of the Taipei city audience.
Diamond Cutter Institute staffers Will Duncan, John Brady, Scott Vacek, Nicole Vigna and others moderated "Wisdom for Daily Life" discussion groups. They found that the world is feeling smaller...."people from every country want the same thing" said Scott Vacek..."we are finding similar issues in every country...people are asking the hard questions about their professional and personal success and happiness, and with the Diamond Cutter technology, we have answers."
 
In the weekend retreats, Nancy Carin, Teddy Sczudlo, Kristina Pao Cheng, Eric Stryson, Elisha Knapp, Nicole Vigna, Mercedes Bahleda, Venerable Lobsang Nyingpo, Jessica Kung and Stephane Dreyfus gave daily Yoga classes, and lead morning meditations.
Anatole Nguyen, Andreana Karabatsios, Viet Duong, Venerable Lobsang Nyingpo and Diamond Mountain Director Venerable Lobsang Chukyi presented live on stage with Geshe Michael in Vietnam.
