Description: The Buddhist tradition offers a fascinating array of goddesses
that embody every aspect of gendered existence as a female, from maternal
nurture to wounded fury. Each carries within it wisdom, a gift, and a lesson on
the journey to wholeness.
Weaving together stories, poems and images, Shaw evokes the archetypal realm of
Buddhist goddesses, and invites a journey into their healing presence that leads
to the sacred core of female experience and spirituality. She draws on her
groundbreaking research on the ascent of the sacred female in Buddhism, from the
early nature divinities through the
great wisdom mothers and protectors of the Mahayana movement, to the dynamic,
passionate, fully enlightened
Tantric female Buddhas.
She also examines the sacred female in Tantric relationship with the sacred
male. The program features beautiful, evocative slides of the fascinating
goddess images and rituals that Dr. Shaw photographed during her extensive
travels
in India and Nepal, interweaving word and image to communicate a powerful,
inspiring Buddhist vision of female wholeness and sacredness.
