Description

Explore the complex relationship between gender and Buddhist practice in this scholarly work by Serinity Young. While many Buddhist teachings suggest moving beyond gender, this book reveals how actual texts, iconography, and rituals often tell different and contradictory stories. Through a study of over 2000 years of history, the author examines biographical writings and ritual practices to show the deep struggles within Buddhism regarding gender roles. You will find a detailed look at how iconographic depictions and performative rituals shape our understanding of sexuality and identity in the Buddhist tradition. This book provides a unique journey through historical records and spiritual symbolism. It is a valuable resource for those interested in how religious narratives and visual representations interact to create a complex view of women and gendered identities in Buddhist history.
