In this Teisho, given on June 6th, 2022, Rinzan Osho examines The Hidden Lamp: Shotaku's Paper Sword. The practice of Zen asks us to know the suffering of others. The misogyny inflicted upon women is something we mace face, confront and do our best to end. Accessing and opening to spiritual power will give us the strength of Shotaku who used her own spiritual strength to back down a sexual assailant.
