Inviting the Breeze of Delight. ~ Frank Berliner
Frank W. Berliner grew up in New York and was educated at Yale, where he received his BA, and Naropa University, where he earned an MA in Transpersonal Counseling. He has studied, practiced and taught meditation for 50 years as a close student of the founder of Naropa, the Tibetan Buddhist meditation master Chogyam Trungpa.
Over a 12 year period from 1980-1992, Mr. Berliner served as National Administrative Director of Shambhala Training, and the Executive Director and Resident Teacher of the Berkeley Shambhala Center.
He was an Associate Professor of Contemplative Psychology at Naropa University until 2015, where he taught Buddhist and Western Existential Psychology, and the practice of meditation, to BA and MA students since 1995. Mr. Berliner pioneered the teaching of meditation online at Naropa, beginning in 1999. Between 2001 and 2007 he was the buddhadharma columnist for Elephant Journal.
In 2012, he published Falling in Love with a Buddha, a memoir of his experiences as a ‘warrior apprentice’ to Chogyam Trungpa. He published The Living Buddha Within You in 2014, based on his integration of the Buddhist and Shambhala teachings of Chogyam Trungpa.
Frank is also a psychotherapist and life coach in private practice in Crestone, Colorado.
