| Abstract | In this groundbreaking work, Anne Klein becomes the first scholar to put Buddhist and feminist thoughts on identity in conversation with each other. Despite the daunting barriers of geography, language, and culture that separate them, Buddhism and contemporary feminism have much to say to each other. Buddhist practices such as mindfulness - in which calm centering and keen awareness of change coexist - and compassion - in which the self is recognized as both powerful in itself and interdependently connected with all others - can be important resources for contemporary Western women. Likewise, feminism can expand the traditional horizons of Buddhist concerns to include social, historical, and psychological issues. The image and ritual of the Great Bliss Queen, an important Buddhist figure of enlightenment, form the unifying image of the book, modeling the practices and theory that can assist each of us in being at one with ourselves as well as fully open to engagement with others. |
