Last year, more than 1,000 people came together at Wutai Shan Buddhist Garden for our annual Three Steps, One Bow pilgrimage. It was a truly inspiring day as people of all ages walked side by side in a spirit of peace, gratitude, and compassion.
Every three steps, we pause and make one full bow. It is a moving meditation that cultivates humility, mindfulness, perseverance, and loving-kindness. Whether you complete the entire pilgrimage or simply participate for a portion of the day, each step becomes an offering for peace in the world and peace within our own hearts.
If you joined us last year, you already know how meaningful this experience can be. If you missed it, this is a wonderful opportunity to be part of one of the most beautiful annual traditions at Wutai Shan.
