From Wikipedia:

Joseph Goldstein (born 1944) is one of the first American vipassana teachers (Fronsdal, 1998), co-founder of the Insight Meditation Society (IMS) with Jack Kornfield and Sharon Salzberg, contemporary author of numerous popular books on Buddhism, resident guiding teacher at IMS, and leader of retreats worldwide on insight (vipassana) and lovingkindness (metta) meditation.

While the majority of Goldstein’s publications introduce Westerners to primarily Theravada concepts, practices and values, his 2002 work, “One Dharma”, explored the creation of an integrated framework for the Theravada, Tibetan and Zen traditions.
