The Life You Were Born To Live ~ Dharma Talk with Daizan

Daizan discusses how you find your way - the path that's unique to you. Through Zen practice, pioneer of japanese feminism, Hiratsuka Raicho (1886-1971) found the clarity and courage to embark on a life-long path of activism.
--
Zenways promotes and encourages activities and practices that enhance human wellbeing, balance and awakening (satori or kensho - the enlightenment of Zen) in the many different situations we find ourselves in. Over many years of strict training, in Japan and the west, Julian Daizan Skinner received dharma transmission and permission to teach in both the Rinzai and Soto lineages of Zen. He now teaches at the Yugagyo Dojo in London, UK. May these recordings help you and those around you to find and realise the truth.

Thank you, this is very inspiring. I feel moved to share my recent experience with Zen. I felt couldn't face my self, I have avoided dealing with difficult emotions for most of my life, and thought that my problems were too enormous, and the only option was to just keep on avoiding them. Zen is giving me another way through. I thought of the one hand clapping, thats what I need to be, a kind of causeless still sound that just is. I realised that I had been seeing so much of reality as a problem since I was very young. The moon in my case cast dark and thick shadows of hopelessness. The sound of one hand clapping is making me see everything just 'is' and there is nothing actually wrong with me. I'm not a problem.
But I realise that actually living this way in full awareness of my "problems" may be overwhelming at times, is the answer just to keep coming back to stillness? Do you have any other advice?
Thank you so much. for helping to keep this teaching alive and available.

The moon shows that however dark the night is, it's still possible to shine.
🌕
That's when the deep dives, the true strength and courage is needed.
To meet self in the deepest, darkest, bleakest of nights but have such complete trust and faith in the process that it's still possible to shine.
Shine brightly 🌕
