Culadasa (John Yates, Ph.D.) is a meditation master with over four decades of experience in the Tibetan and Theravadin Buddhist traditions. He taught physiology and neuroscience for many years at the Universities of Calgary and British Columbia. Later, he worked at the forefront of healthcare education and therapeutic massage, serving as the founding director of the West Coast College of Massage Therapy. Culadasa retired from academia in 1996, moving into an old Apache stronghold in the Arizona wilderness, where he deepened his spiritual practice.
Culadasa’s book, The Mind Illuminated, is the first comprehensive guide to Buddhist meditation for a Western audience. It combines age-old teachings with the latest research in cognitive psychology and neuroscience, providing meditators with step-by-step guidance for every stage of the path - from your very first sit, all the way to mastery of the deepest states of peace and insight. This is the clear, friendly, and in-depth meditation manual that people have been waiting for.
In addition to teaching meditation, Culadasa is the author of the groundbreaking book, A Physician’s Guide to Therapeutic Massage, which has been through several editions and is still frequently used in classrooms today. He is also a lifelong sitar player and an amateur woodworker, with several hand-carved canoes hanging from the ceiling of his workshop.

thank you so much for giving us the marvellous opportunity to hear the story of the writer of the illuminated mind right fron his voice. bless you, bless Culadasa
Great discussion
Very inspiring as always. Thank you. But I think focusing on the practices he did/ their outcomes and causes of these outcomes/ and what are some of the things he did to make these practices effective and compatible to lay life might have been even more inspiring and beneficial.
Thanks for making these videos, they are really interesting. I was wondering, when the time comes in the story, would it be possible to get an update on the new book Culadasa is working on? I’d be very interested to hear that.
Great working
Commendable effort of pursuing the extremely uncomfortable angle of him abandoning his family
fair point, and it could reasonably be argued that he had the responsibility to do alot more, but wasn't it her who first pressured her young husband to abandon his career with no viable alternative on the horizon, and then made the decision to leave herself? Therefore it would seem to me that she is also quite responsible for her choices as well. It's not like he choose to leave so I don't think such a scenario fits the phrase 'abandoning his family'. That being said, totally agree that when children are involved there are certainly duties and responsibilities involved. Take care
@@chadlyblomme fully agree!
Can someone tell me a little more about our host? He’s very good.
53” Name of his meditation teacher (Joti Dhamma?)
