Miserable? A Solution!

This is so great, even for non Buddhists, I think.
Give a listen to the first 14 minutes (at least through Ven. TC's comparison to AA):
"Hi, my name is _______ and I'm full of ignorance, anger, attachment and I'm extremely selfish."

Thubten Chodron is the Abbess of Sravasti Abbey the place I did the retreat (from afar) last year and a mini retreat (just ended.) This is from 2004, but still soooo relevant...

YIKES, I say... I should have said 12 Step Program, not AA. She said AA, and that's why I was thrown off. I certainly know that many groups use the steps including Kleshas Anonyous (emotions and afflictions), OverEaters and many more. Sorry!!
