Daniel Ingram is a founder of the Dharma Overground and a site administrator.

Having gotten frustrated with the world of on-line dharma blogs that were all about dogma, hierarchy, disempowering view about how it can't be done, mindless blind faith in absurd ideals and texts that were wildly out of touch with reality, and a whole host of other absurdities, he founded the DhO to form a save haven for people who were into hardcore practice, real attainments, helping people out in the spirit of mutual friends, open conversations about topics related to actual practice, and the like.

His website is http://www.interactivebuddha.com

He makes the following claims to attainments:

• He is an arahat.
• He has mastery of the samatha jhanas, including Pure Land One and Pure Land Two, The Watcher, and Nirodha Samapatti
• He has some experience with some other traditional attainments.
• He has full access to No-Dog at will.

He is the author of the book Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha: An Unusually Hardcore Dharma Book, often abbreviated MCTB, which has influenced the practice of many members of the DhO.

He is also an emergency medicine physician who practices in emergency departments in Northeast Alabama, where he lives with his wife and cats.
