222 – Confronting the Buddha's Sexist Discourse – Part 2

from The Zen Studies Podcast · host Domyo Burk

I explore how - for some of us - explaining, dismissing, or justifying the story of the Buddha's resistance to ordaining women (told in the Gotami Sutta) does not completely neutralize the discouraging effect of this story's presence in the Buddhist canon. I then discuss how we can relate to this story without losing our faith in Buddhism as a path of practice.
