Shinzen Young
Shinzen Young trained for a decade in monasteries in Asia, and has been teaching in the West for over 50 years. As the Co-director of the SEMA lab, heβs now at the forefront of contemplative neuroscience. So Shinzen is unique in that he brings together an authentic and deep understanding of meditation with the rigor and precision of modern science.
Shinzen likes to say of himself: Iβm a Jewish-American Buddhist teacher who got turned on to comparative mysticism by an Irish-Catholic priest and who has developed a Burmese-Japanese fusion practice inspired by the spirit of quantified science. : )
