The Four Noble Truths of Recovery

Kevin Griffin investigates correlations between the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, and the 12 Steps, the path of recovery from addiction. This program culminates in a day-long online retreat.

Insight Journal

In the Buddhist tradition, wisdom is nurtured by a deep investigation of experience involving both dharma study and meditation practice. The Insight Journal, published by BCBS since 1994, is dedicated to exploring some of the insights that a balanced inquiry uncovers about ourselves, our world, and our fellow beings.
