Buddha

Recovery Dharma is a peer-led movement using Buddhist practices and principles to overcome addiction through meditation, personnal inquiry, and community. We provide support to local, autonomous meetings through shared literature, online resources, and connection to our international network of participants.

Dharma

We believe that the traditional Buddhist teachings ("Dharma") offer a powerful approach to healing from addiction and living a life of true freedom. By following a balanced path of understanding, ethical behavior, and mindfulness, all beings have the potential to find happiness and free themselves from the suffering of repetitive craving.

Sangha

While our program is based on teachings and practices that go all the way back to the time of the Buddha 2600 years ago, we believe that anyone can benefit from this wisdom regardless of whether they consider themselves a Buddhist. Our program doesn't require the adaption of any religious principles, only that we do the work needed for these practices to transform our lives.
