the founding teacher of the Portland Insight Meditation Community and a
therapist in private practice. He brings 35 years of Buddhist Dharma

member of the first wave of lay Theravada Buddhist teachers who brought
Buddhism from Asia to America. He uses humor, poetry, music and
drumming to present ancient Buddhist teachings in ways that can be

everyday life, bringing lovingkindness and wisdom to intimate
relationships, parenting, work, and the cultivation of engaged and
compassionate community.
