Two questions are explored in dialog between Dave Smith and Stephen Batchelor 

1. What is a secular approach to the dharma?

2. How can this approach alter, enhance, or challenge our practice in a meaningful way?

These monthly events will explore a range of topics that are both rooted in early Buddhist thought and are relevant to the challenges and issues that we face in our current lived experience.

The format will not follow a traditional Dharma talk, but will take place in a dialogue format that is intended to raise more questions than provide answers. As the practice of the Dharma continues to make inroads into our culture through various channels, these dialogues have been created to address ideas, topics, and tensions that are not generally addressed in the greater arena of mindfulness, Dharma, and Buddhism.
