<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Reimagining Buddhism through a feminine lens: A powerful memoir of healing, strength, and spiritual awakening"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Reimagining Buddhism through a feminine lens: A powerful memoir of healing, strength, and spiritual awakening.</b> <p/>Written by the first and only layperson to receive full dharma transmission in the Suzuki Roshi Soto Zen lineage, <i>A Bigger Sky</i> explores what it means to traverse the gaps of a Buddhism created by and for men, navigate the seemingly contradictory domains of secular and spiritual life, and walk a path through the heart of the world. Blending memoir, Buddhist practice, and cultural observation, Weiss reorients Buddhism through a wider and more inclusive feminine lens. Her personal and spiritual journey speaks to the bits of brokenness in us all, shining a light on the different pathways we can walk to become whole. <p/>Through beautifully crafted prose, Weiss shares what it means to be an ordinary Bodhisattva, describing how the Buddha's profound vision of freedom can be lived outside of institutions and rule-bound practice to support us in deepening our connection with ourselves, each other, and the planet. A Bigger Sky illuminates how integrating a more feminine approach to Buddhist teachings can be applied in spiritual practice, community, relationships, and day-to-day life.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>REVIEWS . . . <p/>[A] steady, wise debut...
