Dr. Barry Kerzin teaches us how to meditate on the Buddha image, focusing on a more devotional aspect of mindfulness. If you do not follow the Buddhist tradition, you can visualize a figure of another faith tradition or a teacher you deeply revere. 

Ven. Dr. Barry Kerzin is a Buddhist monk, teacher, and medical doctor. He is the Founder and President of Altruism in Medicine Institute, the Chairman of Human Values Institute, Japan, Honorary Professor at The University of Hong Kong, and former Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Washington in Seattle.

He has completed many short and long meditation retreats over the last 28 years, including a 3-year retreat. At the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and Princeton University, he was a subject for research on long-term meditators. This research has been published in the leading neuroscience journals in the world.
