Finding Patience: A Key to Compassionate Recovery

Cultivate assiduously patience in various ways. The enemy anger will create suffering such as these. For a bodhisattva who seeks a wealth of virtue, every harm is like a precious treasure.
Ever feel like you're always in a rush, especially on your recovery journey? In this episode of The 12-Step Buddhist Podcast, Darren Littlejohn tackles the tricky subject of patience. As addicts, the world often seems too slow for our liking, leading to stress and even triggering us out of our comfort zones. Darren dives deep into how our impatience affects not just ourselves but those around us, creating an environment of tension and distress.
But here's the kicker—he also shows us how to flip the script. Drawing from Mahayana teachings, Darren introduces the practice of patience as a pathway to compassion. He shares his personal experiences with trauma and recovery, making the topic relatable and actionable. With readings from 'Entering the Way of the Bodhisattva', this episode is packed with wisdom on how to turn impatience into a tool for growth.
If you're looking to deepen your recovery journey and find a bit more peace along the way, this episode is for you.
