A new history of Buddhism that highlights the insights and
experiences of women from diverse communities and traditions around
the world Buddhist traditions have developed over a period of
twenty-five centuries in Asia, and recent decades have seen an
unprecedented spread of Buddhism globally. From India to Japan, Sri
Lanka to Russia, Buddhist traditions around the world have their
own rich and diverse histories, cultures, religious lives, and
roles for women. Wherever Buddhism has taken root, it has
interacted with indigenous cultures and existing religious
traditions. These traditions have inevitably influenced the ways in
which Buddhist ideas and practices have been understood and
adapted. Tracing the branches and fruits of these culturally
specific transmissions and adaptations is as challenging as it is
fascinating. Women in Buddhist Traditions chronicles pivotal
moments in the story of Buddhist women, from the beginning of
Buddhist history until today. The book highlights the unique
contributions of Buddhist women from a variety of backgrounds and
the strategies they have developed to challenge patriarchy in the
process of creating an enlightened society. Women in Buddhist
Traditions offers a groundbreaking and insightful introduction to
the lives of Buddhist women worldwide.
