Edwin John Dingle (6 April 1881, Cornwall – 27 January 1972), claimed to have learned advanced spiritual disciplines from a Tibetan mystic, and styled himself as a spiritual teacher with the name Ding Le Mei . As the President and Preceptor Emeritus of the Institute of Mentalphysics, he described himself as a "psychologist, author and philosopher". Dingle also established a center at the International Church of the Holy Trinity in Los Angeles, where he taught classes and also conducted correspondence courses on Mentalphysics across North America. As a spiritual teacher, he adopted the Chinese name "Ding Le Mei", the name given to him in the monastery of Tibet.
