Women in Buddhism
Wednesday Evenings, 26 July to 6 September, 2006.
(no class on 9 August).
The teachings of Buddhism and their implications for women will be explored in tandem with the actual history of women’s place in the religion. Guided by New Zealand-born Zen teacher Sensei Amala Wrightson, students will learn about enlightened women who transcended the limits of their patriarchal societies, and how Buddhist institutions are changing as more women enter leadership roles. The course concludes with local women practitioners sharing their struggles and insights. A brief meditation will begin each class.
