| Abstract | Tibetan Buddhism and feminism, seemingly so different, both deal with the identity of individuals within society, and both stress the importance of direct experience as the core for their theoretical formulations. This book uses the image and practice of the Great Bliss Queen to show the similarities and differences of these two traditions in regard to the core issue of identity.
Despite barriers of language and culture, Buddhism and contemporary feminism have much to say to each other. Both appeared on the Western intellectual scene at about the same time, both focus on self and identity, and both are dedicated to the fruitful interaction of theory and experience in regard to those questions. The ritual of the Great Bliss Queen, an important Buddhist figure of enlightenment, unifies the book, modeling practices that can help us to be both at one with ourselves and open to engagement with others. |
