Ordained as a Gelugpa monk, he was the first American to receive the Geshe degree at Sera Monastery in Tibet.
He has started a number of businesses and organizations, written books about Buddhism, and translated Tibetan Buddhist teachings.
Roach has written and lectured that yoga, meditation, and a practice of helping others—even competitors—leads to financial prosperity.
He has at times been the center of controversy for his views, teachings, activities, and behavior.
