Insights of a Woman Buddhist Priest

by Jiko Kohno

What is suffering? And how can we relieve suffering? In this inspirational volume, the Buddhist priest Jiko Kohno answers these age-old questions. Using everyday examples and stories of the Buddha's direct influence on her own life, she teaches us how to welcome the Buddha's benevolent spirit into our lives. Drawing on her many years of experience not only as a priest but also as a daughter, wife, and mother, Rev. Kohno helps us find practical Buddhist solutions to the problems of how to raise children, how to enhance family harmony, how to spend old age and prepare for death, and even how to imbue our cooking with the spirit of Buddhism. Her teachings are honest and uncomplicated, and her examples are both delightful and moving.
