REFUGE RECOVERY “A Buddhist approach to recovering from Addiction” What is Refuge Recovery? Refuge Recovery is an oriented path to freedom from addiction. This is an approach to recovery that understands; “All individuals have the power and potential to free themselves from the suffering that is caused by addiction”. We feel confident in the power of the Dharma, if applied, to relieve suffering of all kinds, including the suffering of addiction. This is a process that cultivates a path of awakening, the path of recovering from the addictions and delusions that have created so much suffering in our lives and in this world. Refuge Recovery is a systematic approach to training our hearts and minds to see clearly and respond to our lives with understanding and non-harming. You are entering a way of life that may be familiar to some and foreign to others. In the beginning some of it may seem confusing or counter-instinctual, and some of it is. But you will find that with time, familiarity and experience, it will all make perfect sense and will gradually become a more and more natural way of being. www.refugerecovery.org Hello Refuge Recovery friends. These first series of guided meditations were recorded by Dave Smith and are offered here for you. There will be guided meditations, Dharma talks pertaining to refuge recovery, interviews and stories. Stay tuned....more to come!

The Bhagavata Purana is a revered text in Vaishnavism, a Hindu tradition that reveres Vishnu. The text presents a form of religion (dharma) that competes with that of the Vedas, wherein bhakti ultimately leads to self-knowledge, salvation (moksha), and bliss. However, the Bhagavata Purana asserts that the inner nature and outer form of Krishna are identical to the Vedas and that this is what rescues the world from the forces of evil. An oft-quoted verse (1.3.40) is used by some Krishna sects to assert that the text itself is Krishna in literary form.

होली (Holi) वसंत ऋतु में मनाया जाने वाला एक महत्वपूर्ण भारतीय और नेपाली लोगों का त्यौहार है। यह पर्व हिंदू पंचांग के अनुसार फाल्गुन मास की पूर्णिमा को मनाया जाता है। होली रंगों का तथा हँसी-खुशी का त्योहार है। यह भारत का एक प्रमुख और प्रसिद्ध त्योहार है, जो आज विश्वभर में मनाया जाने लगा है। रंगों का त्यौहार कहा जाने वाला यह पर्व पारंपरिक रूप से दो दिन मनाया जाता है। यह प्रमुखता से भारत तथा नेपाल में मनाया जाता है। यह त्यौहार कई अन्य देशों जिनमें अल्पसंख्यक हिन्दू लोग रहते हैं वहाँ भी धूम-धाम के साथ मनाया जाता है। पहले दिन को होलिका जलायी जाती है, जिसे होलिका दहन भी कहते हैं। दूसरे दिन, जिसे प्रमुखतः धुलेंडी व धुरड्डी, धुरखेल या धूलिवंदन इसके अन्य नाम हैं, लोग एक दूसरे पर रंग, अबीर-गुलाल इत्यादि फेंकते हैं, ढोल बजा कर होली के गीत गाये जाते हैं और घर-घर जा कर लोगों को रंग लगाया जाता है। ऐसा माना जाता है कि होली के दिन लोग पुरानी कटुता को भूल कर गले मिलते हैं और फिर से दोस्त बन जाते हैं। एक दूसरे को रंगने और गाने-बजाने का दौर दोपहर तक चलता है। इसके बाद स्नान कर के विश्राम करने के बाद नए कपड़े पहन कर शाम को लोग एक दूसरे के घर मिलने जाते हैं, गले मिलते हैं और मिठाइयाँ खिलाते हैं।
