Buddhist 12 Step Group (B12) In Person and On Zoom
Day/time: Saturday — 7:00pm - 8:30pm ET
Hybrid - The Buddhist Dharma Center of Cincinnati
Other info:
Cost: Free; donations are welcome
https://us02web.zoom.us/j/
Meeting ID: 84622890309
Passcode CBDC
The Buddhist 12 Step Study Group (B12), a program of the Buddhist Dharma Center of Cincinnati, explores how Buddhism and 12 Step programs can benefit and nurture each other. Both practices begin with the acknowledgement of suffering, the realization that suffering arises from craving, and that there is a solution. The path of the 12 Steps and the Noble Eightfold Path travel through remarkably similar territory and have much to offer each other.
We meet every Saturday from 7:00-8:30 pm at the Dharma Center and on Zoom. Following a brief welcoming discussion and introduction period, there is a 20 minute guided meditation followed by reading and discussing books that connect Buddhism and the 12 Steps. We close with a lovingkindness practice.
No dues or fees; no need to pre-register.
No meditation experience or particular faith or spiritual practice is required. Neither is membership in a twelve step program. We are simply people exploring the path out of the suffering brought about by craving and clinging in whatever form it arises.

To Join Zoom Meeting
https://us02web.zoom.us/j/7434994532
Meeting ID: 743 499 4532
Passcode: 124108
This is a weekly gathering interweaving Buddhist meditation practice and addiction recovery. We are not a replacement for traditional 12-Step Groups, but a supplement to them. You do not have to be a Buddhist to participate in this group or be in any specific recovery program to attend. We welcome anyone who struggles with the suffering associated with craving and who seeks to cultivate peace through living mindfully. The purpose of the group is to:
- Meditate with others who are in recovery or exploring recovery
- Share readings from Buddhist authors that apply to our addiction recovery journey
- Share our personal experience, strength, and courage
- Integrate the basic goodness of meditation with our commitment to recovery
“Sobriety is finding a new way of living that involves engagement where there was withdrawal; generosity where there was self-centeredness; a community where there was isolation; joy where there was bitterness; trust where there was cynicism.”
- Kevin Griffin, One Breath at a Time: Buddhism and the Twelve Steps
Suggested donation - $2 - $10

Meditation & Recovery Meeting
Day/time: Monday — 8:00pm - 9:00pm ET
Online - Great Heartland Buddhist Temple of Toledo
Other info:
Meeting virtually during the pandemic, email for info.
This weekly meeting is open to people with any addiction, seeking recovery or in support of anyone seeking recovery. Honoring the traditions of anonymity in other recovery programs and to protect the privacy of our members, we use only our first names at this meeting.
With respect for the worth and dignity of each person, all are welcome here. We respect all forms of meditation, however during the meditation period, we ask that everyone be quiet and still out of respect for the practice.
The purpose of this meeting is to strengthen our meditation practice by communal effort and thereby strengthen our recovery program. Our meeting includes time for prayer or intention setting, meditation and discussion. Our discussion period offers us a chance to share openly about our experiences with meditation and recovery. For those new to meditation, beginning instruction will be offered.

Recovery Dharma
Day/time: Sunday — 2pm CST
Our Place
Other info:
For a little over a year, Our Place, a peer-run recovery center in Ravenna, Ohio, has been hosting weekly Dharma Recovery meetings. The meetings convene every Sunday afternoon at 2:00. The group generally listens to a short teaching related to that day’s meditation or reading. This is followed by a 20-25 minute Buddhist meditation. After the meditation, we have a group discussion related to the talk and meditation. The second half of the meeting consists of reading about Buddhist recovery. Currently, we are using the book Recovery Dharma. Again, group participation and discussion are encouraged. By listening to each other, our understanding of the Dharma grows. We try to encourage an atmosphere in which dialogue happens. We welcome all interested people to come to a meeting and experience the support of our group practice.
