Reaching Out and Connecting
2024-10-06 10:00 - 11:00
When things are difficult, it is all too easy to retreat into our own small worlds and lose connection with the bigger picture. Buddhist psychology suggests that as life takes its toll on us, we tend to reduce our personal spheres. We trap ourselves in loops of thought and behaviour. These can be very self-destructive and addictive, but breaking the cycles is not easy as they have been created over time and feel familiar and often (but not always) comforting. On the other hand, when we find the courage to move on, life becomes richer. Moving on is about connection. Connection to the world, ourselves and our environment. It can take many forms, but ultimately it involves trusting that the connection is worth making and allowing ourselves to be embraced by the reality that surrounds us.

Walking the Path of Recovery: Buddhism & the 12 Steps
2024-09-10 17:00 - 2024-09-15 12:00 | Dorje Denma Ling, 2280 Balmoral Road, The Falls, NS, B0K 1V0, Canada
Walking the Path of Recovery: Buddhism & the 12 Steps
with Margaret Jones Callahan and Brian Callahan
The path of Dharma and the path of recovery complement each other and work together to support and deepen sobriety. Buddhism and the 12 Steps each offer a template or method for one’s personal, spiritual journey. Both Buddhism and the 12 Steps begin with looking at life on its own terms: either acknowledging life’s unmanageability (as in Step 1) or acknowledging the truth of suffering. Both paths lead to the discovery of joy, compassion, and a deeper spiritual relationship to the world. Both Buddhism and the 12 Steps shine a light onto the path towards freedom.
