Women in Pali Buddhism (eBook, PDF)

Walking the Spiritual Paths in Mutual Dependence

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The Pali tradition presents a diverse and often contradictory picture of women. This book examines women's roles as they are described in the Pali canon and its commentaries. Taking into consideration the wider socio-religious context and drawing from early brahmanical literature and epigraphical findings, it contrasts these descriptions with the doctrinal account of women's spiritual abilities.
