Anonymity to me as a Buddhist practitioner, as a-step Buddhist, is, you know, letting go of the self-cherishing i. And it is based on the topic of dependent origination, which is what is meant by dependent origination? So what that means is that it's beyond mind.
Ever wondered how anonymity fits into the evolving landscape of addiction recovery? This episode of 'The 12-Step Buddhist Podcast' dives deep into this very question. Host Darren Littlejohn takes listeners on a journey through the concept of a New Recovery Movement, examining how traditional principles like anonymity hold up in today's world. Inspired by the documentary 'The Anonymous People', the discussion touches on the spiritual underpinnings of staying anonymous and whether this still serves those in recovery.
But it doesn't stop there. Littlejohn introduces his book, 'Compassionate Recovery: Mindful Healing for Trauma and Addictions', which blends Buddhist wisdom with modern neuropsychology. The episode challenges the conventional 12-step approach by integrating teachings from Tibetan Buddhism, Yoga, and scientifically-backed methods to address deep-rooted issues like adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Whether you're new to recovery or a seasoned veteran, this episode offers fresh perspectives on spirituality, self-compassion, and emotional stability.
It's a thought-provoking listen for anyone curious about the future of recovery.
