Take a journey of personal inquiry by meditating on koans, or paradoxical questions.

Adyashanti began teaching in 1996 after a series of transformative spiritual awakenings, at the request of his Zen teacher with whom he had been studying for 14 years. Adyashanti’s teachings have been compared to some of the early Ch’an (Zen) masters of China as well as teachers of Advaita Vedanta in India. He is the author of "Emptiness Dancing," "The Impact of Awakening" and "My Secret Is Silence."
