Matthew Hahn

Matthew trained as a Dharma Leader at the Insight Meditation Center and at Spirit Rock, and teaches at San Jose Insight Meditation. He was empowered with lay ordination by Venerable Pannavati and the late Ashin U Pannadipa. Practicing the Dhamma since 2005, Matthew sat with his first sangha as a prisoner in Folsom State Prison. Since coming home in 2012, he has practiced principally within the Insight tradition, but has also studied in Burma within the Mahasi-U Pandita lineage. Matthew has been mentored for many years by his principal teacher, Matthew Brensilver, as well as other teachers within the Insight and Theravadan traditions. Matthew is a co-founder of the Recovery Dharma program and regularly teaches for system-impacted communities, both inside and outside the walls of prisons.
