Jin Y. Park, "Women and Buddhist Philosophy: Engaging Zen Master Kim Iry?p" (U of Hawaii Press, 2017) - a podcast by Marshall Poe

Women and Buddhist Philosophy: Engaging Zen Master Kim Iry?p (University of Hawaii Press, 2017) by Jin Y. Park, professor of philosophy and religion at American university, is an account of the Korean Buddhist nun, Kim Iry?p’s life and philosophy, which takes place from 1896-1971. Park eclectically references philosophers, feminists, and Buddhists from a variety of traditions as the context for the events that led to Iry?p’s transition from a well-known feminist, and writer to a Buddhist nun. More than a story of Kim Iry?p’s life, Park’s work sees to provide a platform for Kim Iry?p’s to speak, and answer the questions, “How and why do women engage with Buddhism?”
