Description

This Routledge scholarly work examines women's roles within the P li tradition by analysing descriptions in the P li canon and its commentaries. The book contextualises these accounts within wider socio-religious frameworks, drawing from early brahmanical literature and epigraphical evidence to contrast textual descriptions with doctrinal teachings on women's spiritual abilities. It explores gender representations in P li texts to clarify what it meant to be a woman both in the historical context of the texts' composition and in relation to their ultimate spiritual goal. The study reveals the diverse and often contradictory picture of women presented throughout the P li tradition, offering critical insights into Buddhist women's spiritual practice, doctrinal standing, and lived experience across this important Buddhist school.
