Meditation can become one of the most dangerous acts of defiance against ignorance in all its forms, from injustice and inequality to ecological degradation and the loss of meaning and connection. But, in order to take full advantage of the potentials of meditation while limiting unwanted side-effects, we need proper education, training, and guidance. The most dangerous forms of meditation are dangerous only to ignorance, and they arise from holistic paths of life and learning.

The Buddhist traditions offer some of the most holistic, comprehensive, and varied meditation teachings and practices available to us. In book, A Meditator's Guide to Buddhism, Cortland Dahl translates the Buddhist traditions into a framework that can guide us in our current context.

Cortland Dahl, Ph.D. is a leading expert on mindfulness, meditation, and the science of wellbeing. His eclectic background includes long periods of solitary retreat in the Himalayan foothills of Nepal and the translation of ancient Tibetan meditation manuals, as well as cutting-edge research on the science of wellbeing and the creation of an acclaimed meditation app. He is a scientist, author, translator, entrepreneur, and meditation teacher, but his true passion is using ancient wisdom and modern science to help people flourish.
