I am looking for a book that is about Buddhism for the modern woman. Any ideas?

The book is very thin and funny and quirky. There are tips on dating, work and meditation. The cover is green with a cartoon picture of a girl in a purple yoga outfit. I can’t remember the name. PLEASE HELP!
Dear Zen Master:
Because you were so nice as to provide such a helpful reply I thought I’d give you some insight. I’m a devout Christian, have been saved and invited Jesus into my heart a few years ago. I feel that Buddhism is more a way of life than a religion (just for me). To judge someone on their religion is not what God teaches. We’re to be kind and understanding to all, it’s not our place to judge, nor do I judge you. But I thought I’d share a little bit of background for you. Thanks again.

Vipassana Meditation

yogayak.com Vipassana, which means to see things as they really are, is one of India’s most ancient techniques of meditation. It was rediscovered by Gotama Buddha more than 2500 years ago and was taught by him as a universal remedy for universal ills, ie, an Art Of Living. This non-sectarian technique aims for the total eradication of mental impurities and the resultant highest happiness of full liberation. Healing, not merely the curing of diseases, but the essential healing of human suffering, is its purpose. Duration 9 min Contraindications: If you are being treated for any form of depression or mental illness consult your healthcare practitioner before beginning any form of meditation. Teacher: Kavita Maharaj

In the Buddha culture…why shave hair on heads ?

.
I’m spiritual, non-denominational. I’m gifting myself with the adventure of attending an overnight New Years retreat in the Bay Area ~ ~ We will be gathering with others at a Zen retreat and sharing meditation through the evening, at mid-night and awakening early for early morning meditation. I do meditate, yet not, as yet, to the deeper level that they do as at this Zen meditation center. We’re leaving to drive to the Bay Area this afternoon and looking forward to it.

My question is this . . . I attended a half day meditation there some weeks back and noticed that some, including women, had their hair shaved off.

Why do they do this.? I’m respecting of persons of all faiths and sometimes wonder why a person of a certain faith does something so, just wondering.

Do you know why persons in the Buddha faith shave the hair on their head off? Appreciate insight.

During my meditation one day i realized something about The Way. Do you agree?

I was reading something that said everything is relative, and subject and object must both be dropped to avoid birth and death.

Of course that wasn’t the entire thing i cant remember it but what i got out of it was that if you can be like your own skin, not attaching yourself to hot or cold. And not avoiding either one, but just accepting both and remaining just in the middle this is The Way.

Again this is not all of The Way but an insight i have had, so what is your opinion on this insight?
@Derrick R, hahahahahahaha
