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.

October Koan with Step 10
Dear Friends,
October is near. Time for Step 10 and the following koan.
Bill K.
Step 10: Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
Koan: Both roots and branches must return to their origin, and so do respectful and insulting words. Shitou Xiiqian
