One of the things I wrote down was “It’s a struggle to stay zen.” Out of everything I wrote, I felt that this was what most totally encompassed everything I was dealing with. I realized that the way I understood zen, yoga and meditation was a lot different than how most people around here understand it. Being raised by a Buddhist mother, these ideologies are, whether consciously or not,…

This custom became popular during the Ming Ch’ing eras after 1368. The process of foot binding began at the age of five. Mothers were breaking their daughter’s feet in order for them to marry a good husband. According to the principles…
