The Moon and Flowers

What does it mean to follow the Buddhist path as a woman in the world today? Nineteen women who have been ordained within the Buddhist tradition share how they are trying to bring the various aspects and concerns of their daily lives into harmony with their Buddhist ideals and practice.
