Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. First Edition. An award-winning journalist vividly reports her two-year, 60,000-mile global odyssey in the company of exceptional women who choose to dedicate their lives to Buddhism In 2011, Christine Toomey met an unforgettable group of Tibetan Buddhist nuns. After hearing their stories-of prison, extreme hardship, and ultimately fleeing across the Himalayas into exile-she resolved to learn more about the private, courageous women of Buddhism: who they are, their experience of suffering, what motivates them to seek enlightenment, and what stands in their way. Toomeys quest took on even greater urgency with the sudden deaths of her father and then her mother, and her own search for healing wisdom in the aftermath of loss.In Search of Buddhas Daughters introduces us to women from around the world-Nepal, India, Burma, and Japan, as well as the US, the UK, and France-who have come to the ordained life from every faith and career: a former policewoman, a princess, a Bollywood star, and a concert violinist. Toomey meets a Harvard graduate who sometimes breaks into hip-hop moves after meditating, a Japanese nun who has written bestselling erotica, and a Nepalese order of nuns who practice kung fu for spiritual and physical empowerment.Through insightful conversations with over thirty women, Toomey investigates Buddhism as an antidote to the problems of life in the twenty-first century, and considers the status of women today-worldwide, and within one of our oldest wisdom traditions. In a world numbed by the amount of attention paid to violence, terrorism, and political and religious power struggles, she writes, I find it profoundly refreshing to come across women whose lives are dedicated to nurturing the opposite. 21 B&W photographs + 1 map.
