"Eminent Buddhist Women" reveals the exemplary legacy of Buddhist
women through the centuries. Despite the Buddha s own egalitarian
values, Buddhism as a religion has been dominated by men for more
than two thousand years. With few exceptions, the achievements of
Buddhist women have remained hidden or ignored. The narratives in
this book call into question the criteria for eminence in the
Buddhist tradition and how these criteria are constructed and
controlled. Each chapter pays a long-overdue tribute to one woman
or a group of women from across the Buddhist world, including the
West. Using a variety of sources, from orally transmitted legends
to firsthand ethnographic research, contributors examine the key
issues women face in their practice of Buddhist ethics,
contemplation, and social action. What emerges are Buddhist
principles that transcend gender: loving kindness, compassion,
wisdom, spiritual attainment, and liberation."
