We have stopped uploading talks to our Buddhist Recovery Podcast. I will slowly be moving those talks to this podcast. I added this first as it was, by far, the most dowloaded episode. Also, we will be launching a secular dharma foundation podcast in November so stay tuned. For more on programs: https://linktr.ee/davesmithdharma

We also have a Buddhist Recovery online course: HERE

MBEL has been conceived as a collaborative project, which leaves behind the patriarchal and hierarchical power structures often found in Buddhism. Authority is distributed throughout the community of practitioners rather than concentrated in an expert. This program can be freely shared with anyone who is interested in doing this work.
This program is appropriate for anyone interested in the topic, regardless of any previous experience.

MBEL is founded on early Buddhist formulas and lists such as: the four foundations of mindfulness, the four tasks, the four efforts, and the four immeasurables. In the same way that mindfulness-based therapies such as Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) are inspired by Buddhist contemplative practices, MBEL draws inspiration from the ethical values and philosophical frameworks of early Buddhist thought. Although Buddhist in inspiration and origin, MBEL shares neither the religious and metaphysical commitments of the Buddhist religion nor its authoritarian hierarchies of power. MBEL is a secular program.
