About Patrick:  Patrick has practiced mindfulness meditation (satipatthana vipassana) since 1977.  At that time there was little or no Buddhist meditation training available in Australia, so he spent years traveling in Asia and the USA working with teachers from different Buddhist traditions to learn the craft of meditation practice. Most of his training has been in the insight meditation lineage of Maha Sayadaw of Myanmar, which included several years as a Buddhist monk, and he has also trained in the Diamond Sangha lineage of Zen.  For more info see:  http://www.patrickkearney.net
