The Books Oracle
by Miranda Shaw
A scholarly revelation of women's central role in Tantric Buddhism, documenting female gurus and practitioners long erased from historical records. Shaw examines primary Sanskrit sources to recover forgotten lineages of women teachers who guided male and female students toward enlightenment. The text explores ritual partnerships, yogini circles, and feminine embodiment as pathways to awakening. This groundbreaking work fundamentally challenges assumptions about women's place in Buddhist history.
