Download or read book The First Free Women written by Matty Weingast and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2020-02-11 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Ancient Collection Reimagined Composed around the Buddha’s lifetime, the Therigatha (“Verses of the Elder Nuns”) contains the poems of the first Buddhist women: princesses and courtesans, tired wives of arranged marriages and the desperately in love, those born into limitless wealth and those born with nothing at all. The original authors of the Therigatha were women from every kind of background, but they all shared a deep-seated desire for awakening and liberation. In The First Free Women, Matty Weingast has reimagined this ancient collection and created a contemporary and radical adaptation that takes the essence of each poem and highlights the struggles and doubts, as well as the strength, perseverance, and profound compassion, embodied by these courageous women.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nun: And Other Poems In submitting the following collection of Poems to the ordeal of public taste, the Author trusts that the severity of criticism may be disarmed by the humility of their pretentions, - aspiring only to supply a few "way-side flowers," to those lovers of poetry, who, on turning aside in some musing hour from the busy paths of life, may perchance find sentiments amongst them in accordance with their own. They are intended, as far as their influence can extend, to incite to all that is "pure, lovely, and of good report;" and to further the cause of Religion and Morality. They are left to the candid judgment of those who have so kindly enabled the Author to present them before the public, and to whom, she tenders her sincere thanks.

Download or read book Daughters of Emptiness written by Beata Grant and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-06-04 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women played major roles in the history of Buddhist China, but given the paucity of the remaining records, their voices have all but faded. In Daughters of Emptiness, Beata Grant renders a great service by recovering and translating the enchanting verse - by turns assertive, observant, devout - of forty-eight nuns from sixteen centuries of imperial China. This selection of poems, along with the brief biographical accounts that accompany them, affords readers a glimpse into the extraordinary diversity and sometimes startling richness of these women's lives. A sample poem for this stunning collection: The sequence of seasons naturally pushes forward, Suddenly I am startled by the ending of the year. Lifting my eyes I catch sight of the winter crows, Calling mournfully as if wanting to complain. The sunlight is cold rather than gentle, Spreading over the four corners like a cloud. A cold wind blows fitfully in from the north, Its sad whistling filling courtyards and houses. Head raised, I gaze in the direction of Spring, But Spring pays no attention to me at all. Time a galloping colt glimpsed through a crack, The tap [of Death] at the door has its predestined time. How should I not know, one who has left the world, And for whom floating clouds are already familiar? In the garden there grows a rosary-plum tree: Whose sworn friendship makes it possible to endure. - Chan Master Jingnuo

Download or read book First Buddhist Women written by Susan Murcott and published by Parallax Press. This book was released on 2002-02-09 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Buddhist Women is a readable, contemporary translation of and commentary on the enlightenment verses of the first female disciples of the Buddha. The book explores Buddhism’s relatively liberal attitude towards women since its founding nearly 2,600 years ago, through the study of the Therigatham, the earliest know collection of women’s religious poetry. Through commentary and storytelling, author Susan Murcott traces the journey of the wives, mothers, teachers, courtesan, prostitutes, and wanderers who became leaders in the Buddhist community, roles that even today are rarely filled by women in other patriarchal religions. Their poetry beautifully expresses their search for spiritual attainment and their struggles in society.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The White Nun: And Other Poems The White Nun. I. High on the rock stands the gray chateau Over the walls the ivies grow; Blue and bright in the vale below Is the river flowing on. Many and many a year ago Here did she watch her lilies grow, Watch the wind through the cornfields blow, And the river flowing on. Lost are the signs of heraldry, Yet of a noble line was she, - Lordly, royal, it well may be, - Agnes of Beauvallon.
