Meditation, when developed and cultivated, is peaceful and sublime, an ambrosial pleasant dwelling. It dispenses and quells, right on the spot, detrimental states of mind whenever they arise.

(Siddhattha Gotama)

I bring you what you much need, yet have always had ... It is not in any book. It is no further from you than your eyes and ears.

(Walt Whitman)

What I Do

I am working in several modes – writing, teaching, speaking, conducting practice sessions, and leading seminars and workshops – to help actualize the potential of Buddhist meditation for the individual and society. An important aspect of my work entails reestablishing the Buddha's teachings as being concerned, in the first instance, with the nature of human experience. To this end, I teach Buddhist meditation (based on the Anapanasati Sutta) as a careful, precise investigation into the ways that lived experience unfolds and operates in our body, emotions, thoughts, and sensory field. Over my thirty-five-year engagement with the Buddha's teachings on personal and social well being, I have come to see that they have a relevance, immediacy, power, and beauty that are unsurpassed in human history.
