Shasta Abbey
Put Your Slippers Straight
Rev. Margaret Clyde gives a Dharma talk at the end of an introductory retreat and poses the question to the audience, "what did you come here for?". Rev. Margaret shares her own experience in trying to answer that question for herself and how she eventually encountered the first teaching of Zen which is to 'set your slippers straight'. This talk was given at Shasta Abbey on Sunday November 16, 2025.
