If you belong to a 12 Step Group, at one time you will hear someone say, "Upon working the steps, one day you will see where the Steps are working you!" The same can be said when you meditate with Zen koans ... a koan can pop into your life when you least expect it, giving you a new perspective on matters. Here we are practicing with koans to see how they can deepen our understanding of the 12 Steps in new and unexpected ways.

Potluck … What Step comes to you with this koan?
Koan: One day when Dongshan and a monk were washing their
bowls, they saw two crows fighting over a frog. The monk asked, “Why does it
always have to be like that?”
Dongshan replied, “It’s only for your benefit, honored
one.”
Hello All,
Our August koan. What Step or Steps does this koan bring to mind?
