A young monk is in a rush.
A flash of saffron robes,
a burst of pumping legs,
the percussive slap
of sandals on concrete.
A splash of consciousness
in a tight squeeze.
Where are you going, little one?
The temple is behind you.
Bodhi nature is inside you.
The laughing trees
are all around you.
So what is it
you need to run toward?
The Braided Way is a framework to see every faith tradition as a strand, braided into a larger whole of spiritual awareness. In the Braided Way, combining spiritual practice from various faiths allow us to explore sacred experience and wonder in forms that resonate with our personal spiritual needs and sacred intuitions. In today’s culture, many people shun religious dogma, but yearn for spiritual connection. The Braided Way allows the ceremonies and practices of multiple faiths to be available without the confinements of cultural dogma.
