DHARMA FOR A TRAUMATIZED WORLD • The cause of our global suffering is forgetting that we belong to one another and to the earth. TARA BRACH recommends four practices to nourish a sense of collective belonging.

COOKED WITH LOVE • Arepas have been eaten in South America since pre-Columbian times. For MARIANA RESTREPO, they’re a reminder of all the hands that have fed and shaped her.

THE HOW OF HAPPINESS • Mindfulness, courage, and compassion are key. BONNIE NADZAM presents a selection of new books on living well.

QALVY GRAINZVOLT

A Sacred Place • Photographer CHRIS RAINIER has spent decades seeking out spiritual landscapes and religious sites on all seven continents. He’s come to understand what sacred really means.

YES, NEVER, SOMETIMES? • Buddhism doesn’t have just one thing to say about consuming alcohol and other intoxicants. In time for party season, we look at the surprising diversity of Buddhist views.

BREAKING FREE from ADDICTION • The dharma can help people wake up to the truth of their substance abuse and find a way to get—and stay—sober. We present four true stories of recovery.

SOMETHING CAME UNDONE • S. BRENT RODRÍGUEZ-PLATE’s mind and body were disconnected when he was drinking. Meditation helped him reconnect them.

THE UNDEFENDED HEART • MARY STANCAVAGE used intoxicants to avoid painful emotions. Meditation allowed her to touch her grief and heal.

ONE PATH • When KEVIN GRIFFIN combined his recovery journey and his Buddhist practice, both deepened.

The Dharma of Fiction • Novels, fables, and plays—they’re stories that are made up, yet they often express deep truths. Five writers and thinkers explore the spiritual teachings they’ve found in fiction.

THERE SHE WAS • EMILY FRANCE on Mrs. Dalloway.

NOT ME, NOT MINE • LAUREN SHUFRAN on King Lear.

SAFE HAVEN • SHYAM SELVADURAI on Paradise.
