This book celebrates the flowering of women in American Buddhism.
Lenore Friedman set out to explore this phenomenon by interviewing
some of the remarkable women who were teaching Buddhism in the
United States. The seventeen women she writes about vary in
background, personality, and form of teaching. Together the
represent the growing presence and influence of women teachers in
America--a development that will surely affect Buddhism in the West
for years to come. This revised edition includes a new section
describing developments in these women's lives and work since the
book's first publication in 1987.
The relationship between body and mind has always been a topic of speculation and spirited discussion. The authors of the pieces contained in this anthology address the problem from the unique dual perspective of being women and being students of Buddhism.
In this compelling collection of talks, essays, interviews, and letters, Toni Packer presents a radically simple and original approach to spiritual growth free from religious authority, doctrine, symbolism and ceremony. A former Zen teacher and student of Krishnamurti's work, Packer goes beyond traditional religion and explores with the reader the root of human attachments and the source of suffering, opening the way to compassion.
