Recently I read a post where a Buddhist teacher said that addiction is curable, like any other disease. To see the fallacy of that logic one need look no further than the end of one’s nose–if we can see that far. It is there we may find once or twice per year some dripping snot and a red, swollen tip. Point: not all diseases are curable. In my experience as an addict, the best we can hope for is to arrest the symptom - albeit use of the drug of choice, while we treat the underlying cause. But the practice of 12-Step Buddhism takes ... Read Full Story

It seems that as ... Read Full Story
First of all let me say that I’m a pretty sucky Buddhist. I don’t meditate, I still eat meat (on rare occasions) and I couldn’t even make it all the way through “The Three Pillars of Zen”. I was raised as an atheist but “converted” to Buddhism later in life… although I’m not sure that word really applies to Buddhism. I guess you could say that I’m sort of a self-made Buddhist. So that’s my long winded way of saying that I’m not really...
