What does liberation suggest when I have incarnated in a particular body, with a particular form, color, and sex? In The Way of Tenderness, Zen priest Zenju Earthlyn Manuel brings Buddhist philosophies of emptiness and appearance to carry on race, sexuality, and gender, using intelligence forged through personal experience and practice to rethink problems of identification and privilege. Manuel brings her own experiences as a lesbian dark woman into dialogue with Buddhism to square our finally empty aspect with superficial perspectives of day-to-day life. Her hard-won insights uncover that dry intelligence together is not sufficient to cure the wounds of the marginalized; an efficient practice must embrace the tenderness found where typical reality and emptiness intersect. Only heat and compassion could cure hatred and cure the harm it wreaks within us. This is a e book that will show us all.
