Bow First, Ask Questions Later is a memoir by Gesshin Claire Greenwood, a white woman from San Francisco, who ordained as a Zen monk in Japan at the age of 24 years. She talks about her experiences in the monastery, as a student, as a teacher, as a questioner. And she does so with openness and humor.
I loved this book. I loved learning about Greenwood‘s experiences and her exploration of faith, trust, surrender, and enlightenment.
