Buddhist Women In A Global Multicultural Community, Karma Lekshe Tsomo Phd
Theology and Religious Studies: Faculty Scholarship
This book is the result of years of collaboration among hundreds of women from many different cultural backgrounds, speaking from their own first-hand experience of living, working, practicing, and communicating across cultures. The essays included here touch on many aspects of Buddhist culture and Buddhist women’s pioneering efforts to expand their cultural horizons through travel, education, meditation, and social activism. The essays document the achievements of women and the contributions they have made, not only to their own families, temples, and communities, but also to multicultural dialogue internationally.

Since this paper is intended as a contribution to the comparative philosophy of religion, I will begin with a few remarks on the nature of that enterprise.
