Buddhism Through American Women's Eyes Edited by Karma Lekshe Tsomo. The Buddha's path to human transformation declares women and men equally capable of spiritual realization, yet throughout history most exemplars of this tradition have been men. Now, as Buddhism is transmitted to North America, women are playing a major role in its adaptation and development. In this book, practitioners from the Theravada, Japanese Zen, Shingon, Chinese Pure Land, and Tibetan traditions, share their thoughts on Buddhist philosophy, its practical application in everyday life, and the challenges of practicing Buddhism in the Western world.
