Shinzen Young
is an American meditation teacher. He leads residential and phone-based meditation retreats for students interested in learning the Vipassana (insight) tradition of Buddhism. Although Vipassana is traditionally a Theravada technique, Shinzen was originally ordained in Japan as a monk in the Shingon (Japanese Vajrayana) tradition.〔() Fall 2005 By Polly Young-Eisendrath, in Tricycle: The Buddhist Review〕 He has studied and practiced extensively in other traditions, including Zen and Native American traditions.
He frequently uses concepts from mathematics as a metaphor to illustrate the abstract concepts of meditation. As a result, his teachings tend to be popular among academics and professionals.〔http://ebookpdf.us/astrobiology-spring-2005/〕 His interest in integrating meditation with scientific paradigms has led to collaborations with neuroscientists at Harvard Medical School,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Understanding Enlightenment Could Change Science - Psychology Tomorrow )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Shinzen's Blog: Basic Mindfulness - Basic Science )〕 Yale, Carnegie Mellon, and the University of Vermont.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Clinical Neuroscience Research Unit : University of Vermont )〕 He is working on various ways to bring a secular mindfulness practice to a wider audience using revamped terminology and techniques as well as automated expert systems.
Shinzen has adapted the central Buddhist concept of the five skandhas or aggregates into modern language, grouped them into sensory categories with potential neurological correlates, and developed an extensive system of meditation techniques for working with those categories individually and in combinations.
