Dear All,
We are nearing the last chapter of the amazing 'Zen Teachings for Challenging Times' (be sure to check out Heiku Jaime McLeod this weekend, coming for a visit: LINK ) ...
Our next book selection won't be here in the "no words book club" at all. Rather, highly recommended, Kokuu will be facilitating readings of Darlene Cohen’s [no relation
] Turning Suffering Inside Out ...
... very much recommended to all, even those among us who are (for now
) quite healthy. Kokuu writes ...

Darlene Cohen (no relation to Jundo!) was a priest and teacher in the Shunryu Suzuki lineage and she practiced for numerous years at Tassajara and other Zen centres. She spent most of her life as a lay woman, before ordaining in 1999. Darlene lived for a large part of her life with Rheumatoid Arthritis and her teachings reflect her practice in dealing with the pain and challenges of chronic, physical illness. She died in 2011 of ovarian cancer but her legacy and teachings live on.
Turning Suffering Inside Out is well known among both Zen Buddhists and those in the chronic illness community for Darlene’s immensely practical and down-to-earth approach to working with illness, and her humour and irreverence at times.
