JOSEPH GOLDSTEIN is a cofounder of the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, Massachusetts, where he is one of the guiding teachers. He has studied and practiced meditation since 1967 under the guidance of eminent teachers from India, Burma, and Tibet. Joseph lectures and leads retreats around the world.
The Insight Meditation Society was founded in 1975 as a nonprofit organization to provide an environment conducive to the practice of Vipassana (insight) and metta (loving kindness) meditation, and to help preserve the essential Buddhist teachings of liberation. IMS now operates two retreat facilities — the Retreat Center and the Forest Refuge, which are set on 160 secluded wooded acres in the quiet country of central Massachusetts. There is a schedule of intensive retreats of varying lengths throughout the year.

Joseph Goldstein in The Translucent Revolution:

“It all comes down to the mind free of clinging. That for me is an understanding of freedom."
