December 12 & Zen Reminder

Step 12: Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and practice these principles in all our affairs.  

 

Called by various titles, The Four Great Vows, The Four Boundless Vows, The Four Bodhisattva Vows, etc. - - for our December koan, we’ll be sitting with this sutra:

 

GREAT VOWS FOR ALL

 

I vow to wake [save] all the beings of the world 

I vow to set endless craving [desire] to rest        

I vow to walk through every dharma gate   

I vow to live the great Buddha way 

Enjoy your sitting...
