We are pleased to announce the publication of Steven L. Berg’s Addiction Recovery Through Buddhist Wisdom: A Dharma Recovery Journal.

Addiction Recovery Through Buddhist Wisdom is designed as a reflective journal that provides questions/prompts for individuals who want to incorporate Buddhism into their recovery from addiction. Twenty six short essays reflecting on the role of Buddhism and recovery are included. Although the focus of the book is on recovery from alcoholism and substance abuse, the content is relevant for people suffering from other addictions. The book builds on the work of the Recovery Dharma organization but is not affiliated with them.

Free copies of the book are available on our website. A paperback edition is available through Amazon for $10.49, the cost of production. Neither Steven L. Berg nor Ehipassiko Press receive any royalties or other compensation from the publication and distribution of this book.

Dr. Berg is a Theravada Buddhist with over 40 years of recovery from alcoholism. In 1999, he received his PhD in American Studies from Michigan State University where he wrote his dissertation on Alcoholics Anonymous. He is the author/editor of four other books and numerous articles on addiction recovery.

We are pleased to announce the publication of Bhante Kusala’s Forgiving Ourselves and Others, the third in our “A Dhamma Talk and Reflective Journal Series.”

Forgiving Ourselves and Others begins with a short essay that explains why it is necessary to forgive ourselves as well as other sentient beings. It then provides guidance on how to move toward forgiveness.

In his dhamma talk, Bhante Kusala mentions several teachings of the Gautama Buddha, teachings that are more fully explained in the chapters following the talk. As part of these chapters, questions designed to help the reader reflect on the content of the book are included. Because plenty of space is provided for the reader to reflect on the questions, the book doubles as a journal. Although it is written from a Buddhist perspective, the book contains valuable insights for anyone interested in forgiving themselves and others.

Free copies of the book are available on our website. A paperback edition is available through Amazon for cost of production. Neither Bhante Kusala nor Ehipassiko Press receive any royalties or other compensation from the publication and distribution of this book.
