Thought Provoking,
By Robert (www.kushan.org) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Courtesans and Tantric Consorts: Sexualities in Buddhist Narrative, Iconography, and Ritual (Paperback)
Clever, insightful, well-written and though provoking.
This is an account that is somewhat wider than its title implies. It examines various categories of women (including courtesans and consorts) through the use of Buddhist texts. Young provides a pleasingly nuanced analysis of how male monastic writers have suppressed and marginalised women in the Buddhist tradition in an attempt to control and co-opt their power. Worth reading for anyone with an interest in gender and Buddhism. |
