Björn Natthiko Lindeblad
I May Be Wrong
Björn Natthiko Lindeblad was a Buddhist monk in the Thai Forest Tradition for 17 years, both in the East and the West. The name “Natthiko” means “one who grows in wisdom.” After leaving the monastery in 2008, Björn returned to Sweden and eventually became one of the country’s most beloved speakers, inspirers, and meditation teachers. Many came to know him through his warm and thoughtful talks on Swedish radio, as well as through his bestselling book I May Be Wrong, which has since been translated into more than thirty languages. On January 17th, 2022, after living with ALS for some time, Björn passed away — but his wisdom continues to live on.
Jack Kornfield
Quiet the Mind and Open the Heart
Jack Kornfield is one of the leading teachers who helped bring Buddhist mindfulness practice to the West. Trained as a Buddhist monk in Thailand, India, and Burma, he studied under renowned masters such as Ajahn Chah and Mahasi Sayadaw, and has taught meditation around the world since 1974.
After studying Asian Studies at Dartmouth College and serving in the Peace Corps in the Mekong River valley, Jack returned to the United States and co-founded two of the most influential meditation centers in the West: The Insight Meditation Society in Massachusetts and Spirit Rock Meditation Center in California.
Jack is known not only for his deep understanding of Buddhist psychology but also for his unique gift as a storyteller — blending real-life experience, poetry, and timeless wisdom to illuminate how we can live with mindfulness and compassion.
Jack’s books have sold more than a million copies and been translated into over 20 languages. His titles include A Path With Heart, A Wise Heart, After the Ecstasy, the Laundry, The Art of Forgiveness, Lovingkindness, and Peace, Bringing Home the Dharma, and No Time Like the Present.
