Buddhism And Woman

By Dudley Wright

Book Overview

""Buddhism and Woman"" by Dudley Wright is a comprehensive exploration of the role of women in Buddhism. The book delves into the history of Buddhism and the ways in which women have been perceived and treated within the religion. Wright examines the teachings of Buddhist scripture and the evolution of Buddhist traditions to shed light on the attitudes towards women in the religion.The book also explores the experiences of women in different Buddhist cultures across the world, including in countries such as Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Japan. Wright highlights the ways in which women have played important roles in the development and spread of Buddhism, despite facing discrimination and marginalization in many contexts.Through interviews with Buddhist women and analysis of Buddhist texts, ""Buddhism and Woman"" offers a nuanced and insightful perspective on the intersection of gender and religion. The book ultimately argues that Buddhism has the potential to be a powerful force for women's empowerment and gender equality, but that progress in this area is contingent on continued critical reflection and reform within the religion.THIS 22 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: A Manual of Buddhism, by Dudley Wright.
