Universal Dharma…Not

This is the first of two dharma talks given at Marin Sangha in June 2014. In this talk, Lisa Dale Miller refers to the Suttas to refute the controversial claim by Jon Kabat-Zinn and others, that mindfulness-based interventions (MBSR and the like) deliver a “universal dharma”; an accurate depiction of traditional Buddhist meditation practices and implicitly imparts the profound ethical and philosophical aspects of the actual Buddhadharma.
