I’m a Buddhist teacher and author living in New Hampshire, but originally from Scotland.

I got the funny name (which means “Wings of Enlightenment,” incidentally) when I joined the Western Buddhist Order in 1993, after 11 years of Buddhist practice.

I run a Buddhist nonprofit called Wildmind, which has a mission to spread compassion and mindfulness through the practice of Buddhist meditation.

I like kayaking and photography. I love reading and movies. Sometimes I hike, but I’ve been getting lazier as I’ve been getting older. I’ve recently started going to yoga, but I’m reluctant to say much about that in case I let my practice slip again. It’s happened a few times in the past.
