Abstract

A recent study conducted at the University of Wyoming explores the use of Buddhist recovery manuals in addressing addiction. These manuals combine Buddhist ideas and practices with Twelve-Step programs like Alcoholics Anonymous. The study compares the paths outlined in these manuals to classical Buddhist and Twelve-Step paths, highlighting both similarities and differences. The research concludes that Buddhist recovery manuals place a greater emphasis on meditation at the beginning of the path, distinguishing them from classical Buddhism. This study expands our understanding of Anglophone Buddhism and provides valuable insights for substance abuse professionals. [Extracted from the article]
