  • Clinging to or suppressing appearances, whether "feminine" or "masculine" or "dualism" or "nondualism", rather than pursuing and embracing them with heartfelt empathy results in reified Dualism. Buddhist feminism was stronger in extinct Indian and South East Asian Mahayana traditions, whose Prajnaparamita cult did not flourish in Tibet. Pity.

  • In my own personal opinion, I don't think discussion of the sacred feminine suggests duality. Quite the opposite. The qualities of the dharmakaya are a combination of masculine-feminine. Another example is Avalokitishvara sometimes recognized as male, other times female. I think neither & both. 1,000 Armed Chenrezig in Japan for instance is seen as female, Kannon. I love the notion that the yab-yum decplicts this wholeness, this completion as male representing compassion & female wisdom.

  • Thank you for this discussion. What you're saying makes me think what's wonderful of Arya Khandiravani Tara (Green Tara) is that she made a firm decision to deny manifesting as a male manifestation but rather ALWAYS as a female in order to help sentient beings. Even more so, that SHE encapsulates the ACTION (compassionate and wisdom) of all the buddhas. I can't wait for your teaching in the spring on Prajna Paramita (Wisdom Gone Beyond). Om ah dhih hum svaha. And I say this as a man.
