Buddhism and Recovery: Noah Levine's Path to Healing on Radio Rehab

So forgiveness is for us to free ourselves from the pain of hatred, but it can come with a really good boundary that says: I'm going to let you back into my heart, I'm going to have compassion for your deep ignorance and confusion and suffering.
Ever wondered how ancient Buddhist practices can play a role in modern addiction recovery? In this episode of 'Radio Rehab with Dayna Keyes', host Dayna Keyes sits down with Noah Levine, a renowned Buddhist teacher and author of 'Dharma Punx: A Memoir' and 'Against the Stream'. Levine, who also founded Refuge Recovery, shares his journey and insights on using mindfulness and meditation to combat addiction.
The conversation dives deep into the three foundations of mindfulness and their crucial role in healing. Levine explains how turning towards pain and developing wisdom and compassion are essential steps in the recovery process. He also highlights the gaps in traditional recovery models and how Buddhist principles can fill those voids. One of the most powerful moments in the episode is when Levine discusses the importance of forgiveness in recovery.
