Aronson
is the founding codirector of
Dawn
Mountain: Tibetan Temple, Research Institute, and Community
Center in Houston, Texas. The center’s mission is to preserve
and present authentic traditional Buddhist practice while investigating
ways of making it accessible to modern Westerners. This theme,
the subject of Buddhist Practice on Western Ground, has been
acknowledged for inclusion in the Ford Foundation program on
Religious Pluralism in the United States, and was supported
by a two-year research grant (1999–2001) from that organization.
