Item Description
New Release coming March 10, 2009 ~ by Darren Littlejohn; Foreword by Robert Thurman with endorsements by Lama Zopa Rinpoche, Yangsi Rinpoche, Venerable Robina Courtin and others.
The face of addiction and alcoholism is a face that many have seen before — a celebrity, a colleague, or even a family member — and the damages from addictive behaviors ruin lives and rend families apart. Yet there is hope, even for those who haven’t found long- term success in traditional twelve-step programs. By approaching addiction at its source, author Darren Littlejohn brings about a deep healing in The 12-Step Buddhist, a book that bridges mainstream recovery and spiritual understanding.
It may seem unusual to approach a mainstream recovery program with a distinctly Judeo-Christian background from the perspective of Buddhist philosophy. However, from a Buddhist perspective, there’s no reason why the two methods should be incompatible; all individuals suffer from attachment—whether it’s clinging to unhealthy ways of thinking or the more obvious struggle wit addictive behaviors and substances.
Working within the 12-step philosophy, The 12-Step Buddhist incorporates exercises, meditations, and inner dialogues that validate all aspects of the recovery process. Littlejohn’s approach makes Buddhism accessible for addicts, and the twelve steps understandable to anyone, without the Christian emphasis of traditional 12-step programs that make many addicts
uncomfortable. The 12-Step Buddhist also addresses why addicts struggle with relapses, and how they can address the deepest aspects of themselves to ¿nd healing and wholeness.
The 12-Step Buddhist is designed to be a complimentary practice to the traditional 12-step journey by providing wisdom and meditations that can help addicts truly ¿nd a deep, spiritual liberation from all causes and conditions of suffering—for good.
