The Moon and Flowers: A Woman's Path to Enlightenment

This book brings together essays by 19 women who have been ordained within the Buddhist tradition. They come from different countries and have different lifestyles. Some are career women, some are mothers leading a family life, others live and work in country retreat centres. Their firm commitment to Buddhism is perhaps the only thing they all have in common. Here they demonstrate how they are trying to bring the various aspects and concerns of their daily lives into harmony with the Buddhist ideals and practice.
