Two Wings Practice

​Two Wings Practice

​In Buddhist contemplative tradition, awakening is said to rest on two wings: compassion (the heart's capacity to meet suffering) and wisdom (the clear seeing through awareness itself). This practice cultivates both, in sequence.

​We begin with the wing of compassion, using the notes:

• ​"As compassion, there is..."

• ​"Compassion is..."

​Then, carrying the warmth of that opening, we add the insight-directed notes:

• ​"As awareness, there is..."

• ​"Awareness is..."
