On December 22, 2003 Beliefnet reported on the growing number of American women Buddhist teachers writing and speaking about Buddhism and human relationships.In their books and workshops, they are speaking out on the way their emotional experiences of love and suffering have shaped their inner development, and in the process they are linking the spiritual and the personal and "humanizing the traditionally impersonal face of Buddhism." The article speaks specifically about American-born Buddhist nun Pema Chodron and Vipassana lay teacher Sharon Salzberg.
