The unpleasant thoughts, feelings and sensations are impermanent but also persistent. Come to the present moment and feel what needs to be felt here, however uncomfortable it is, and see for yourself that you actually can tolerate much more than you think you can, and that by sitting in it, you'll also get the knowledge and the wisdom that the pain is impermanent.
Ever thought about how Buddhist teachings can help in the battle against addiction? This episode of Right Turn Radio brings you an enlightening conversation with Noah Levine, the founder of the Against The Stream Buddhist Meditation Society. Hosts Jon Cohan, Abby Dean, and Woody Giessmann sit down with Noah to explore Refuge Recovery, a unique approach to addiction recovery grounded in Buddhist principles. Unlike traditional 12-step programs, Refuge Recovery emphasizes understanding and accepting the suffering that comes with addiction.
Noah shares his personal journey and how Buddhist teachings resonated with him more than conventional recovery methods. He discusses the importance of living in the present moment, even when it's uncomfortable, and recognizing that pain is both impermanent and a source of wisdom. Whether you're well-versed in Buddhism or a complete novice, Noah's insights offer something valuable for everyone.
He assures that Refuge Recovery is inclusive, welcoming people from all walks of life and beliefs, including those who believe in a higher power. The episode also provides practical advice on how to start a Refuge Recovery meeting in your area, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in alternative recovery methods. Tune in to hear how Buddhist teachings can offer a path to healing and self-discovery.
