The best way to understand what samsara feels like might be to reflect upon our addictions. Compulsive behavior can take many forms: eating, shopping, or cultivating thought patterns. Even going to the gym can be addictive, as we sometimes turn ordinarily healthy habits into self-destructive obsessions. This Tricycle e-book offers Buddhist wisdom and advice from over a dozen teachers on addiction and recovery.

Addiction (Tricycle Teachings #7) Reviews
-
I read this thinking it would help me understand a family member's struggle with addiction. After reading, I realise that we are probably all addicted - if not to drugs or alcohol, then to other ways of numbing out. We are addicted to our stories. The teachings here contain different ways of addressing these addictive tendencies.
This collection of teachings is full of wisdom and compassion, and was worth the magazine subscription price alone (this is one of a large collection of ebooks made free to subscribers to Tricycle magazine)
