Publisher's Summary

A simple yet profound guide to establishing a transformative and sustaining Zen meditation practice.

Zen master Julian Daizan Skinner guides the listener through a sequence of meditation techniques that can safely lead even a complete novice through to advanced levels. Based on his own long experience of the Rinzai Zen tradition, as taught by the great 17th-century masters Hakuin and Bankei, Daizan highlights the key points for success and addresses the pitfalls. Structured around a traditional teaching framework called 'the two wings of a bird', Daizan clearly lays-out how these methods build and combine to create a transformative and sustaining practice.

The work of a master, the audiobook speaks at a deep level, with utmost simplicity.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A must have book to use daily for your practice of mindfulness.

Amazing guidance to discovery and practice of Zen with Daizan’s warm and inviting voice. It provided multiple guided meditations which can be practiced daily. This is certainly a manual and a handbook for practicing and it can be referenced over and over.
