Daniel Ingram: podcast appearances and interviews

Daniel M. Ingram is an American author and researcher specializing in Buddhism and meditation. He worked as an emergency medicine doctor before retiring in his late forties. Ingram authored the 2008 book Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha: An Unusually Hardcore Dharma Book, in which he asserts that enlightenment is an attainable goal. He describes himself as an arahat, a level of spiritual attainment that few Buddhist teachers claim, which has drawn some criticism within the Buddhist community. Influenced by Mahasi Sayadaw and Bill Hamilton, Ingram is associated with the Pragmatic Dharma movement alongside Kenneth Folk. He leads the Emergent Phenomenology Research Consortium, a group dedicated to studying spiritual experiences through scientific methods. Ingram has co-authored several scientific papers on meditation experiences. He is married and resides in rural Alabama.
