Any Information On Women Zen Practitioners In T’ang Dynasty China?

I’m interested in stories about women who practiced Zen Buddhism during the “golden age” of Zen in T’ang Dynasty China. Could you refer me to any sources for well-documented stories? Thanks.

You and Society
the d.o.m.: You and the society are different or the same? softzen: Define your terms. lehish: >You and the society are different or the same?< >SUBHUTI'S EMPTINESS Subhuti was Buddha's disciple. He was able to understand the potency of emptiness, that nothing exists except in its relationship of subjectivity and objectivity. One day, in a mood of sublime emptiness, Subhuti was resting underneath a tree when flowers began to fall about him. "We are praising you for your discourse on emptiness," the gods whispered to Subhuti. "But I have not spoken of emptiness," replied Subhuti. "You have not spoken of emptiness, we have not heard emptiness," responded the gods. "This is the true emptiness." The blossoms showered upon Subhuti as rain. Subhuti softzen: Good table-football game too. lehish: http://www.pctools.com/registry-mechanic/download.php ;) shayne: what we want is what we get.

There is no secret or hidden meanings in any of them. If anyone of you need to define, just go ahead or you can look it in any English dictionary available. It wouldn't be necessary for the d.o.m. to give any extra definition to any of those words. Otherwise, if anyone of you are so kind enough, just give some plain, simple and direct answer to the question. lehish: did seem was defining? Woodsman: One is not the other. The other is not the one. lehish: was reading subhuti downloading registry cleaner eating raisens the d.o.m.: From lehish ****did seem was defining?**** If you think so, it's so to you. shayne: well same and different d.o.m. this is what i meant. i cant see same and differant. just life. and it wasnt about raisens or being obscure or asking for defiantions or what not. mine stands....it was my direct and honest response. what more is there? im sure you would not disagree. lehish: >>>If anyone of you need to define, just go ahead or you can look it in any English dictionary available.
