Cortland Dahl

I am a scientist, author, translator, and meditation teacher. My eclectic background includes eight years spent living in Tibetan refugee settlements in India and Nepal and cutting-edge research at the Center for Healthy Minds at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I'm the author of A Meditator’s Guide to Buddhism, as well as the Dharma Lab Substack and Born to Flourish, both with Dr. Richard Davidson. I am also the creator of the award-winning Healthy Minds Program, a freely available mobile app, in addition to publishing numerous scientific articles and twelve books of translations of ancient Tibetan meditation manuals. I am the cofounder, with Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, of Tergar International, a global network of meditation groups and centers on six continents.
