The Buddha’s path to human transformation declares women and men equally capable of spiritual realization, yet throughout history most exemplars of this tradition have been men. Now, as Buddhism is transmitted to North America, women are playing a major role in its adaptation and development.
The discussion presented in Buddhism through American Women’s Eyes takes place among women from the Theravada, Japanese Zen, Shingon, Chinese Pure Land, and various Tibetan traditions. These experienced practitioners share their understanding of Buddhist philosophy, its practical application in everyday life, and the challenges of practicing Buddhism in the Western world.
