Description
Tantric Buddhism is often associated with the sexual practices of its adherents, who seek to transform erotic passion into spiritual bliss. However, the role of women in this movement has been largely overlooked by historians of religion. In "Passionate Enlightenment", Miranda Shaw challenges this narrative, presenting extensive evidence of the outspoken and independent female founders of the Tantric movement and their significant contribution to shaping its vision of gender relations and sacred sexuality.
