Description
Christine Toomey's journey began with a chance encounter in India, which sparked a two-year odyssey to explore the lives of Buddhist nuns who are redefining the tradition. In "The Saffron Road", she follows the paths of these women as they bring mindfulness and spirituality into the modern world. From ancient India to 1950s San Francisco, Toomey traces the routes by which Buddhism has spread, meeting contemporary practitioners along the way. This is a story about the power of female spirituality and the radical possibilities that lie ahead for the Buddhist tradition. Through her travels, Toomey sheds light on the lives of these remarkable women, revealing the ways in which they are shaping the future of Buddhism.
