The Power of Denial

Více o knize

Exploring the intersection of gender and Buddhism, Bernard Faure examines whether Buddhism serves as a source of liberation or limitation for women. Building on his previous work, he shifts focus from male monastic sexuality to the roles and perceptions of women within Buddhist contexts. Faure challenges common assumptions, suggesting that Buddhism's stance on gender is more complex than typically portrayed, prompting a reevaluation of what is often accepted as a singular understanding of Buddhism.
