Ideal teachers use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students to cross, then having facilitated their crossing joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create bridges of their own.
~ Nikos Kazantzakis
Professor Dhiman’s classes are structured as communities of agile learning spaces to meet the creative and self-motivational needs of all learners and leaders. He fosters the mindset of learning for life infused with quest for autonomy, mastery, and higher purpose. Students describe him as “more than a professor: a life example” and his classes as “life changing” and “once in the lifetime” experience: “You cannot take a Dr. Dhiman class and not consider personal growth!”
Dr. Dhiman’s work on happiness and fulfillment has made a difference in the lives of people with diverse backgrounds and needs: “I read Beginner’s Guide to Happiness: A Buddhist Perspective (Dhiman, Satinder. Interbeing 2.1 (Spring 2008: 45-55) and found it helpful and inspiring. My breathing has changed since I read it and I am incorporating intentional breathing into many aspects of my life. Thank you.

Much pain and suffering comes from our thoughts, beliefs and our actions. I hope to speak the language [of the critically ill] from a spiritual perspective. Are there other articles you have written or perhaps read that may educate me more in this area? I have read a few more generic articles from my University’s online database but they were not the same quality as yours, hence the reason for this email.” (Email communication: June 30, 2015) With a grateful soul,[/wpex]
Your presence fills the spiritual void found in most institutions. [wpex more=”Read more” less=”Read less”]Being in your class was a blessing and I feel as though I have come out of your class with the insight into how to be a better human being.[/wpex]
…one of the few people that have left footprints on my soul.

Your lessons on lifelong learning, being humble and human first; and many of your rich personal experiences that you have graciously shared with students became your footprints in our lives. I can’t thank you enough for all you have given me and my fellow students.”[/wpex]
Without question, Dr. Dhiman’s speech was life changing. From the start, I could tell that he was centered. After he was done, he looked at me. I felt like he erased my flaws and anger and hurt and pain. He saw past everything I see in me now … and saw the potential I see for myself in a few decades. [wpex more=”Read more” less=”Read less”]Before I left the room that day, I asked Dr. Dhiman to sign my book and he looked at me and said, “I would love to sign your book.” I posted a Facebook status about my experience with Dhiman and I ended it with “Why wait? Life starts now.” I felt like I had a healthier and more positive energy leaving that room and was offered a job later that day. A student’s comments, after my talk on my book, 7 Habits of Highly Fulfilled People, shared by Dr. Cheng-Levine in an email dated, Oct. 31, 2012.[/wpex]

Dr. Dhiman was a valuable gift placed in my path to keep me focused, grounded, and dreaming all at once. Until we are able to lose the fears and self-doubts brought upon by the world around us it is that we will not truly surpass our own limited perception of greatness.
