Beschreibung:
Paula Arai, the author of Women Living Zen: Japanese Buddhist Nuns, received her Ph.D. in Buddhist studies from Harvard University under the mentorship of Masatoshi Nagatomi. She is an associate professor of religious studies at Louisiana State University.
In Bringing Zen Home, the first study of the ritual lives of Zen laywomen, Paula Arai applies a cutting-edge ethnographic method to reveal a thriving domain of religious practice. Her work represents an important contribution on a number of fronts - to Zen studies, ritual studies, scholarship on women and religion, and the cross-cultural study of healing.
