For Those With Buddhist Inclinations

Knowledge

For those of you who might benefit from a recovery approach based on Buddhist principles, Refuge Recovery now has a six month study guide and many phone, online and in-person meeting options. I like this approach because in many ways these practices are intended to ‘help make you a better whoever you already are’ as the Dalai Lama expressed it.

I have also been a fan of Noah Levine and his books for a long time, starting with Dharma Punx. I am incorporating this six month plan with my own therapy process and it combines reading, writing, audio and meditation organized into weekly tasks. Here is the link:

I hope some of you find it helpful.
