About Delson

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Karla||||||||” text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”1.8em” text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”||40px||false|false” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Delson dedicates his life to the Dhamma.

He is an independent teacher who teaches online and physical retreats around the world based on the suttas. He supports meditators on their journey, and interacts with research institutions on neuroscience, cognitive behavioral therapy, and the phenomenology of meditation. He writes books and provides interviews.

When the situation allows for it, he is open to guiding physical retreats around the world upon invitation. His teachings are freely available to all.

In 2016 he completed an online retreat that is based on the Buddhist suttas and was introduced to Tranquil Wisdom Insight Meditation led by David Johnson. Delson naturally grasped the concepts of the 6Rs. Since then, he has taken a deep dive into the practice and the suttas and is able to easily guide students to the most sublime stages of peace and wisdom. He was asked by Venerable Bhante Vimalaramsi specifically to start teaching.
