The Indian Buddhist world abounds with goddesses--graceful nature
divinities, maternal nurturers, potent healers, mighty protectors,
transcendent wisdom figures, cosmic mothers of liberation, and
dancing female Buddhas. Despite their importance in Buddhist
thought and practice, female deities have received relatively
little scholarly attention, and no comprehensive study of the
female pantheon has been available. Buddhist Goddesses of India
chronicles the histories, legends, and artistic portrayals of
nineteen goddesses and several related human figures and texts.
Beautifully illustrated and drawing on a sweeping range of
material, from devotional poetry and meditation manuals to rituals
and artistic images, Shaw reveals the character, powers, and
practice traditions of the female divinities in this definitive and
essential guide.
