Shinzen became fascinated with Asian culture as a teenager in Los Angeles. Enrolled in the Buddhist Studies program at the University of Wisconsin, Shinzen eventually travelled to Asia for extensive training in each of the three major Buddhist meditative traditions: Zen, Vajrayana and Vipassana. After returning to the U.S., his intellectual interests shifted to the burgeoning dialogue between Eastern internal science and Western technological science and acute pain challenges. Shinzen leads meditation retreats in mindfulness throughout North America and has helped to establish several centers and programs. |
