| book description |
The wisest teachings of Buddhism say that one must move beyond gender. But, as Serenity Young shows in this work, the rhetoric of Buddhist texts, the symbolism of its iconography and the performative import of its rituals all tell different and often contradictory stories. In ""Courtesans and Tantric Consorts"", Young takes the reader on a journey through more than 2000 years of biographical writings, iconographics depictions and ritual practices, revealing the colourful mosaic of beliefs that inform Buddhist views about gender and sexuality.
