Be Sati

In light of the discussion of women in American society, I appreciate that Mr. Kornfield has opened the door to discussion about women in Buddhism.  Frankly, I believe the most inspiring and uplifting Buddhist teachers in America ARE women.  I don’t think I feel connected to them because they are women, but rather I think their feminine insight gives them a sincerity and openness that comes across in their commentary.  This is a potent and very welcoming point of view that I believe can only bring the Dharma to more people.
