After twelve years of monastic training and studies in philosophy and theology, Brother David was sent by his abbot to participate in Buddhist-Christian dialogue, for which he received Vatican approval in 1967. Together with Thomas Merton, Brother David helped launch a renewal of religious life in the early 1970s.
For decades, Brother David has divided his time between periods of hermit's life and extensive lecture tours on five continents. His presentations were well received when he visited Australia some 25 years ago and his message remained fresh throughout his 3 weeks of touring Australia again in 2009.
