Tracing the Itinerant Path - Jishu Nuns of Medieval Japan

Informationen zum Autor Caitilin Griffiths teaches premodern Japanese history and culture at the University of Toronto. Klappentext The importance of women in the operations of Buddhist schools has often been minimized. Chin'ichib?, a nun who taught male and female disciples and lived in her own temple, is therefore considered ananomaly. In Tracing the Itinerant Path, Caitilin Griffiths' meticulous research and translations suggests that Chin'ichib? is in fact an example of her time's learned female who was active in the teaching and spread of Buddhism - and not an exception.
