Overview
A powerful collection of essays on race and gender in contemporary Buddhist practice by one of the leading thinkers in the area.
Jan Willis was among the first Westerners to encounter exiled Tibetan teachers abroad in the late sixties, instantly finding her spiritual and academic home. TIME Magazine named her one of six "spiritual innovators for the new millennium," both for her considerable academic accomplishments and for her cultural relevance. Her writing engages head-on with issues current to Buddhist practitioners in America, including dual-faith practitioners and those from marginalized groups.
This collection of eighteen scholarly and popular essays spans a lifetime of reflection and teaching by Willis. Grouped in four sections--Women and Buddhism, Buddhism and Race, Tantric Buddhism and Saints' Lives, and Buddhist-Christian Reflections--the essays provide timeless wisdom for all who are interested in contemporary Buddhism and its interface with ancient tradition.
"This collection of essays by Jan Willis, penned over thirty years of study, teaching, and practice, is destined to become an authoritative resource in Buddhist scholarship and thought. Willis challenges many of our preconceptions, but asks no more and no less than what the Buddha asked: come, see, and experience for yourselves."
--Sharon Salzberg, author of Lovingkindness and Real Happiness
"From Birmingham to Bodhgaya, Jan bridges worlds like no other. Her essays are treasures of wisdom born from a remarkable life richly lived."
--Matthew T. Kapstein, author of Reason's Traces: Identity and Interpretation in Indian and Tibetan Buddhist Thought
"This book is a blessing for us all--across cultures, across genders, across traditions."
--Larry Yang, author of Awakening Together: The Spiritual Practice of Inclusivity and Community
