Welcome to AZRD.org.
AZ is for Arizona, and RD is for Recovery Dharma.
This site is for Arizona residents to learn more about Recovery Dharma, a simple, Buddhist-inspired, volunteer program to help us cope with the suffering that comes from addiction of all kinds.
Each one-hour meeting consists of three parts. Each meeting is a bit different, in that, each Sangha decides what works best for them.
Meditation
“In-person Recovery Dharma meetings are one of the things that have helped me to learn to meditate. The group meditation at every meeting is a relief from the stress of my everyday life.”
Reading
“The book is short, but it’s full of simple, yet effective strategies for healing from trauma and understanding reality – basically for dealing with the fallout from the decisions I’ve made.”
Sharing
“I think I get as much or even more out of hearing what other people are going through, than from sharing myself. Sharing has taught me to be vulnerable, and now I realize I’m just like everyone else.”
Whether you attend a Recovery Dharma meeting in Arizona in-person or online, you too can use Buddhist principles to get your life on track and repair the damage you’ve caused from your past additive behaviors.
