Compassion is the felt experience in response to a being’s pain. When we understand this through practice, we are able to cultivate compassion for our own pain and the pain of others. Thus compassion becomes a vehicle of connection, further dissolving the myth of separateness and isolation.
Imagine a life where compassion isn't just a nice idea but a daily practice that transforms your recovery journey. In this episode of the Buddhist Recovery Network Podcast, meditation teacher Kara Haney sits down with host Thomas Valentine to discuss 'Karuna', the Buddhist concept of compassion. With over twenty years of recovery experience and deep roots in Buddhist teachings, Kara brings a wealth of knowledge and personal insights to the table.
She explains how compassion can be a powerful antidote to the feelings of isolation and separateness that often accompany addiction. Instead of running from pain, Kara encourages us to face it head-on, cultivating empathy for ourselves and others along the way. She also shares practical tips for developing a compassion practice that can make a real difference in your daily life.
Listeners will get a peek into Kara's own journey with recovery and meditation, as well as the peer-focused recovery meetings she supports. Plus, you'll hear about the Buddhist Recovery Network Academy and how it helps people like you on their path to healing. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of how compassion can bridge the gap between suffering and connection, offering a fresh perspective on addiction recovery.
