Zenju Earthlyn Manuel is an author and an ordained Zen Buddhist priest whose work and teachings focus upon lived experience in the context of race, sexuality, and gender. Her most recent book, The Way of Tenderness: Awakening through Race, Sexuality, and Gender, discusses how spiritual wisdom divorced from everyday reality is insufficient to heal the wounds of those who have been marginalized. In this episode of Insights at the Edge, Tami Simon and Zenju speak about her experience of racism within dharma practice communities. Zenju also details what she calls \u201cthe fiery gateways\u201d that she had to walk through as part of her spiritual journey. Finally, Tami and Zenju talk about what Zenju calls \u201cliberated tenderness.\u201d (79 minutes)<\/p>\n
