Unlocking Liberation: Bodhisattva Practices in Recovery

The mind that transcends itself is the mind that is able to jump back and see itself.
Imagine breaking free from the chains that hold you back. In this episode of The 12-Step Buddhist Podcast, Darren Littlejohn takes a deep dive into the concept of freeing oneself from the 'bondage of self'. This idea, central to Twelve-Step programs, finds a unique resonance in Buddhist teachings. Darren guides listeners through the 22nd practice of a Bodhisattva, sharing readings from Longchenpa and exploring how these ancient wisdoms can be applied to modern recovery journeys.
The episode also features insights from his book, Compassionate Recovery: Mindful Healing for Trauma and Addictions, blending Western neuropsychology with Tibetan Buddhism and Yoga. It's an enlightening discussion on transcending self-attachment and embracing a path to true liberation. Whether you're new to recovery or a seasoned traveler on this path, this episode offers valuable perspectives and practical advice for achieving personal and spiritual freedom.
