Biografía del autor

David Smith was born in 1946 in Oxford, England. His Buddhist training began over 30 years ago, in Zen. He practised for six years with the late Venerable Myokyo-ni, a teacher from the Rinzai school, at the Buddhist Society in London. He then went to Sri Lanka and lived there for three years as a Theravada novice monk. It was while he was in Sri Lanka that his spiritual breakthrough took place, and it is this that forms the framework of this book. Returning to England, he went back to his occupation as a gardener. Greatly inspired by the direct non-conceptual approach found in Zen and Dzogchen, which also mirrors his own understanding of the Dharma, David says the spirit of that training has never left him. Now that he has turned to Dharma teaching, he leads a traditionally inspired yet non-sectarian Dharma group that has at its very basis the cultivation of that non-conceptual spirit. Its practice framework is within the all-embracing spirit of Mahayana Buddhism. David leads regular weekly and monthly meetings as well as residential retreats with his DharmaMind group. He is also a guest leader of retreats around Britain and abroad, and the author of a second book, Dharma Mind Worldly Mind, published in 2002.
