“Hella yes! A must-read if only because this book is the first of its kind. If that isn’t enough, it is one of the most important Buddhist books from those who recognize and honor the experience of awakening through the body as a matter for true liberation.” (Zenju Earthlyn Manuel, author of The Way of Tenderness: Awakening Through Race, Sexuality, and Gender)

“Who could we be, and what could we do, if we were never separated from the reality of the true nature of ourselves which includes the inherent integrity, goodness, and wholeness within each of our unique and invaluable lives? All of these writings are answers to that question, from communities of intrinsically beautiful, worthy, and profound teachers and practitioners.” (Larry Yang, Buddhist teacher and author of Awakening Together: The Spiritual Practice of Inclusivity and Community) 

“There is a luminous, vibrant, flowing, empty world beyond the dualism that fragments reality. Contributors to this book bring a Buddhist lens to the spectrum of sexual and gender orientations with brilliance, creativity and great personal courage. Their collective wisdom expands the relevance of dharma in contemporary culture by calling forth the intrinsic openness of our awakening hearts.” (Tara Brach, author of Radical Acceptance, True Refuge, and The RAIN of Compassion)
