The Hidden Lamp
In this 10-part series, hear a variety of speakers, including editors Zenshin Florence Caplow and Reigetsu Susan Moon, discuss the The Hidden Lamp: Stories from Twenty-Five Centuries of Awakened Women. This collection includes one hundred koans and stories of Buddhist women from the time of the Buddha to the present day.
Norman on Dōgen
Following last fall’s Practice Period, Norman gave a series of talks on Dōgen’s “Dharma Blossoms Turn Dharma Blossoms.” This fascicle is about the Lotus Sutra, the focus of last fall’s Practice Period. But as Norman explains, it is based on a saying in the Platform Sutra, our topic for the 2021 Practice Period, and so these talks form a bridge between last year and this year.
