Summary: Episode Description: In this talk, Zenshin Florence Caplow and Reigetsu Susan Moon explore the stories surrounding the 18th-century Zen lay woman Satsujo, and discuss her importance in countering the gendered notions of what an enlightened being looks like. Depicting the different phases of Satsujo’s life, Zenshin says, “Each story is a sparkling gem… A real woman who could play ball with the best Zen Masters of her age.” Zenshin and Reigetsu also discuss the path that led them to compiling the stories of Buddhist women ancestors in their book, The Hidden Lamp, before taking questions from the audience.<br> To help keep these podcasts freely available, we hope you will consider making a suggested donation of $25 to our <a title="Give to Upaya's Dharma Podcast Fund" href="https://www.upaya.org/give/fund.php?id=10" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Dharma Podcast Fund</a>.<br> <br>
