The state of original Buddhahood, the five aspects each of enlightened form, enlightened speech, enlightened mind, enlightened qualities, and enlightened activity, is spontaneously present within the beginningless and endless expanse. Do not seek it elsewhere, for by nature it is timelessly ensured. Moreover, enlightenment, dharmakaya as experienced by all Buddhas, is none other than the ultimate meaning of unchanging equalness.
Ever feel like your stress levels are off the charts? In this episode of 'The 12-Step Buddhist Podcast', Darren Littlejohn takes us on a deep dive into the central nervous system (CNS) and its intricate dance with chronic stress. Drawing from his own journey and Buddhist teachings, Darren breaks down how ongoing stress can mess with your mood, thoughts, and even your behavior.
It's not just about feeling frazzled; it's about understanding how stress can make you more vulnerable to addiction and relapse. But don't worry, it's not all doom and gloom.

Through engaging stories and solid science, he shows how mindfulness can help you build resilience and find balance in recovery.
