Vipassana, which means to see things as they really are, is one of India's most ancient techniques of meditation in Buddhism. Vipassana or insight meditation is a clear awareness of exactly what is happening as it happens. Today he oversees an organization of more than eighty meditation centres worldwide and has had remarkable success in bringing meditation into prisons, first in India, and then in numerous other countries. After fourteen years of training, he retired from his life as a successful businessman to devote himself to teaching meditation.

Meditation and Yung Pueblo's poetry S.N Goenka and Vipassanaīorn in Mandalay, Burma in 1924, he was trained by the renowned Vipassana teacher Sayagyi U Ba Khin (1899-1971). Today, Diego resides in Western Massachusetts with his wife, where they live quietly and meditate daily. The pen-name Yung Pueblo means “young people” and is meant to convey that humanity is entering an era of remarkable growth and healing, when many will expand their self-awareness and release old burdens. His writing career–and viral poems– followed soon after. Diego had never considered writing, but once he discovered meditation, he was able to express himself through poetry. Shortly after graduating from college and getting clean from drugs and alcohol, he began practising Vipassana as taught by S.N Goenka. He was raised in activists circles in Boston, where he witnessed people coming around together for a common cause. Born in Ecuador, he immigrated to the United States as a child, he grew up in Boston and attended Wesleyan University. Diego Perez is the man writing under the alias Yung Pueblo.
