Teacher

Adyashanti

Adyashanti is a retired American spiritual teacher and author who began studying Zen Buddhism at age 20 after developing an interest in enlightenment and meditation. He began teaching at age 31, following a profound awakening and encouragement from his teacher, Arvis Joen Justi. Adyashanti's teachings do not adhere to a single tradition or ideology, serving as an inquiry into what is true and liberating.
