This evening we have a special event: a book discussion led by nun Esho Sudan who has edited a new book In This Body, In This Lifetime: Awakening Stories of Japanese Soto Zen Women, from students of Sozen Nagasawa Ni-Roshi. Born in 1888, Sozen Nagasawa Roshi was a pioneering figure in Japanese Zen Buddhism, dedicating her life to supporting and empowering women practitioners. Overcoming significant societal barriers, she became an abbess, trained hundreds of students, and championed equal rights for nuns. Click here to read more.
