Buchbeschreibung Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. With storytelling and commentary that will both delight and surprise, Wendy Garling takes a contemporary, feminist approach to the ancient legends of the women in the Buddha's intimate circle. Focusing first on laywomen from the time before the Buddha's enlightenment--his birth mother and stepmother, his co-wives, and members of his harem when he was known as Prince Siddhartha--and then moving on to the Buddha's first female disciple, early nuns, and to female patrons, Garling invites us to open our minds to a new understanding of their role, one that is free from the misogyny of the monastic literary tradition.For the first time, stories widely dispersed in several traditions, including both Pali and Mahayana canonical texts, are woven into a coherent narrative. These colorful tales are enriched by fresh interpretations that bring gender balance to the traditional accounts. Interspersed with original insights and bold challenges to the status quo, the stories are both entertaining and thought-provoking--and at times controversial. More than just a collection of tales, the book is an unprecedented opportunity to rethink the belief that Buddhism has been inherently patriarchal from the beginning. In reclaiming these ancient stories of the Buddha's personal relationships, the author seeks to revive a sense of his full humanity, as well as empower contemporary women to reclaim a shared Buddhist heritage.A contemporary and provocative examination of the life of the Buddha highlighting the influence of women from his journey to awakening through his teaching career--based on overlooked or neglected stories from ancient source material.In this retelling of the ancient legends of the women in the Buddha's intimate circle, lesser-known stories from Sanskrit and Pali sources are for the first time woven into an illuminating, coherent narrative that follows his life from his birth to his parinirvana or death. Interspersed with original insights, fresh interpretations, and bold challenges to the status quo, the stories are both entertaining and thought-provoking-some may even appear controversial. Focusing first on laywomen from the time before the Buddha's enlightenment-his birth mother and stepmother, his co-wives, and members of his harem when he was known as Prince Siddhartha-then moving on to the Buddha's first female disciples, early nuns, and to female patrons, Wendy Garling invites us to open our minds to a new understanding of their roles.
