Book Launch: Of Mud and Lotuses
Join us on Thursday September 24 at 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time to celebrate the release of Dr. Paula Arai’s newest book — Of Mud and Lotuses: Dreaming the Lives of Buddhist Women.
A unique blend of personal reflection, creative histories, and interview-based nonfiction that vividly imagines the lives of Buddhist women over 2,500 years. Of Mud and Lotuses illuminates the hardships, resilience, and creative ways in which Buddhist women have applied the Dharma to daily life—often in ways that history has ignored.
Dr. Arai will be in conversation with Dr. Scott Morgensen, Associate Professor of Gender Studies at Queen’s College, Ontario, Canada in a special zoom event.
More information is forthcoming.
Of Mud and Lotuses was made possible in part by a generous grant from the Frederick P. Lenz Foundation for American Buddhism. In gassho!
