The Secular Buddhist Network sponsors two reading groups, and recommends those organized by Tuwhiri, a publishing imprint for secular Buddhist books. The reading groups explore books, articles, videos and podcast selections on topics related to secular Buddhism, with the aim of applying the key ideas and practices of the secular dharma to daily life.

Limited to nine participants, these groups will decide how the facilitation process will be shared during their first session. For more info and to reserve your place on the next group email Tuwhiri letting them know which book you are interested in.

At one time a universalist quaker
Llevo 30 años de budismo tibetano en un Centro Gelupa. Pero sigo con mente de principiante buscando y aprendiendo. Hace 5 o 6 años descubrí el budismo secular. Pero necesito apoyo de un grupo con quien compartir mis inquietudes.
I have been practicing Tibetan Buddhism in a Gelupa Center for 30 years. But I still have a beginner’s mind, searching and learning. 5 or 6 years ago I discovered secular Buddhism. But I need the support of a group with whom I can share my concerns.
