The Backward Step Part 1 of 3
Sunday 7/24
9:00am: Zazen
10:00am: Chanting Service, Zazen, and Talk
Abbot: Ejo McMullen
We have a tendency to consider life only as a movement forward. We focus on growth, fixing problems, and saving the world. In teaching the Buddha Way, Our Great Ancestor Dogen Zenji encourages us to take the “backward step”. Join our Abbot as he discusses this subtle movement of spiritual practice and how there is much more to life than getting things done.

"Countless Petals of the Lotus"
When we arrive at a Mahayana Buddhist temple, we are told an interesting story: although we should experience greater ease in our lives through Buddhist practice, awakening is fundamentally not something we can build step-by-step. It is the fabric of being itself. To realize this is the very ground under our feet, the path, and the destination.
