About Paul
Meditation Teacher, Newburgh Yoga Shala
Student to Teacher Journey
A singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, Paul Weinfield has always been interested in tuning in to his inner voices and fusing creativity and spirituality. Paul started his journey with Buddhism in 1995, when he began to study meditation and Sanskrit. Returning from a year in India and a trip around the world, Paul found his teacher, Peter Doobinin, living a few blocks from his childhood home in New York City. In 2005, Paul began to go deeper into the Thai Forest Tradition of Theravada Buddhism and was made a teacher in 2008. Since then, he has become a guiding teacher at Downtown Meditation and a teacher at NY Dharma. He is also the author of The Magpie Art: A Book of Encouragements, and a recording artist of eleven albums.
Teaching Style & Influences
Paul’s training in the Thai Forest Tradition gives his teaching an emphasis on breath meditation, insight practice, and the development of skillful qualities (parami) in daily life. A native New Yorker, Paul makes it his mission to bring the dharma to the realities and stresses of modern urban life. It his belief that we always practice from the middle of wherever we are, and that whatever kind of mind a person comes to the practice with is a good enough mind to find ease, wellbeing, and abundant joy.
