About


I look into the moral influences of contemplative practices from an empirical and philosophical perspective. In the empirical realm, I investigate how different styles of meditation differentially influence our processing of moral information. On the philosophical perspective, I ask how we should think about the ramifications of contemplative practices on our morality, and how moral responsibility should be viewed through the light selfless experiences extolled in contemplative practices.

I've also been a Buddhist monk for over two decades, and some of the Buddhist talks that I give can be found here

See the popular article I published in Psyche on awakening experiences and using meditation to improve morality
