Sincere Amends and Compassion: Bodhisattva Practices in Recovery

The right way to make an amends is to go up and say, as I was taught, is to tell the person I've harmed you. Have I harmed you in other ways that I'm not aware of?
Ever wondered how making amends can transform your recovery journey? In this episode of The 12-Step Buddhist Podcast, Darren Littlejohn dives into the 25th practice from the 37 Practices of a Bodhisattva, shedding light on the importance of genuine amends in Buddhist recovery. Unlike superficial apologies, Darren emphasizes the need for an absolute willingness to right past wrongs. He shares insights from Longchenpa's teachings, offering listeners a deeper understanding of how to cultivate compassion and strive for enlightenment.
The conversation also touches on integrating Western neuropsychology and scientifically tested methods grounded in Tibetan Buddhism and yoga. Whether you're new to recovery or looking to deepen your practice, this episode provides valuable tools for personal transformation and emotional healing.
