Two hundred and fifty years ago, Japanese Zen master Hakuin developed a practical scheme of human development he called ‘the two wings of a bird.” One wing involves practices that expand the consciousness and engender clarity; the second wing covers practices that strengthen and energise the body. Combine them correctly and your life does lift-off. In this talk Daizan will explain how he encountered this system, how it is put into practice and the extraordinary experience of sharing it with western Zen practitioners over the last decade.
