Paul\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"In seeking to explore the interrelationships between, and mutual influence of, varieties of sexual stereotypes and religious views of the Mahayana Buddhist tradition, \u003ci\u003eWomen in Buddhism\u003c\/i\u003e succeeds in drawing our attention to matters of philosophical importance. Paul examines the 'image' of women which arise in a number of Buddhist texts associated with Mahayana and finds that, while ideally the tradition purports to be egalitarian, in actual practice it often betrayed a strong misogynist prejudice. Sanskrit and Chinese texts are organized by theme and type, progressing from those which treat the traditionally orthodox and negative to those which set forth a positive consideration of soteriological paths for women. . . .

Thus the main purport and accomplishment of her scholarship is revolutionary.\"-\u003ci\u003ePhilosophy East and West\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 333\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.89 x 8.17 x 5.51 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 23, 1985\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42570846470240,"sku":"9780520054288","price":80.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/ZE5tUjBMS0ZRNk11OXZlZzhQYzhaUT09.webp?v=1770695819","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/women-in-buddhism-images-of-the-feminine-in-the-mahayana-tradition-paperback-1","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
