Episode 9: Stephen Batchelor is a Buddhist teacher and writer, known for his secular or agnostic approach to Buddhism.

He was ordained as a novice Buddhist monk in 1974 and served 11 years within multiple traditions before disrobing and returning from South Korea to Europe. From 1990 he has been a Teacher at Gaia House meditation centre in Devon, England, and since 1992 a contributing editor of Tricycle: The Buddhist Review. He is the translator and author of several books and articles on Buddhism including the bestselling Buddhism Without Beliefs and Confession of a Buddhist Atheist. His most recent book is After Buddhism: Rethinking the Dharma for a Secular Age. Stephen Batchelor is also on the Advisory Board of the Spiritual Naturalist Society.
