I think the buddha kind of got it. Like, okay, I can read about this teaching or hear someone talk about it, but I know from my own practice that that's true, it rings true, it's true in everything that I experience, and so that's the confidence I have in that path.
Picture a typical life in a Texas town during the 80s—complete with a husband, kids, and all the usual trappings. Now, imagine transforming that life into one of deep contemplation and spiritual dedication in the Midwest. In this episode of Recovery Internet Radio, hosts Rick Atwater and Rob Ryberg sit down with a remarkable guest who made that very journey. She went from being a traditional family woman to becoming one of the few Buddhist nuns in the continental US.
Her story is nothing short of awe-inspiring. She shares how she intertwined the wisdom from the twelve-step recovery program with her Buddhist practices, creating a unique path to healing and enlightenment. The conversation touches on the importance of surrender, taking a fearless moral inventory, and the challenges of being a Buddhist nun in America. What makes this episode truly special is how it delves into the benefits of meditation and Buddha's teachings, offering a fresh perspective on recovery.
Whether you're on your own journey to sobriety or supporting someone who is, this episode provides a beacon of hope and resilience. Tune in to hear how dedication and spiritual growth can lead to profound transformation.
