Hello!
If you are like me, you probably wondered at some point what does "The Heart of Recovery" mean? Are we talking about love? Compassion?? And how does it relate to recovery?
I recently received a quote taken from The Heart of the Buddha written by Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche. My feeling is you can replace the word Buddha with recovery:
THE HEART OF THE BUDDHA
Without exception and without the need for analytical studies, we can say that we automatically have buddha within us. That heart of the buddha is a very open heart. That heart would like to explore the phenomenal world; it is open to relating with others. That heart contains tremendous strength and confidence in itself, which is called fearlessness. That heart is also extremely inquisitive, which at this point is synonymous with discriminating awareness. It is expansive and sees in all directions.
The Heart of the Buddha: Entering the Tibetan Buddhist Path by Chögyam Trungpa, pages 6–7
