Product Description
Review
‘The women and men who read this book can take great heart. Martine Batchelor has recorded unique and beautiful voices of feminine Dharma. These awakenings in the midst of snow caves, family life, arts and austerity, intimacy and celibacy, bring alive the blessings and true medicine of the Buddha.’
Jack Kornfield, author of A Path with Heart and After the Ecstasy, the Laundry
‘Here is teaching with a difference, for it is from a woman's point of view. Many of the teachers are remarkable nuns, and their advice is both creative and profound. This is a book not to be missed by any Buddhist.’
Anne Bancroft, author of Women in Search of the Sacred
‘Here wisdom and practice come alive with concrete, idiosyncratic experience – no mystification here and no nonsense, just the quiet excitement of liberated voices.’
Joanna Macy, author of World as Love, World as Self
Product Description
Stories and experiences from female Buddhists from all walks of life.
Women on the Buddhist Path collects the stories and experiences of Western and Asian women from a variety of Buddhist traditions. The women come from all walks of life, ranging from a hermit to a disc jockey and include artists, social workers, psychotherapists, nuns and professors.
What they have in common is a meditation practice that has transformed their lives. This book is an inspiration not only to Buddhists but to all women who are seeking to integrate spirituality into their daily lives.

Martine Batchelor has interviewed women Buddhists from all walks of life and buddhist traditions, and in her book they are all alive as individuals, you can feel them, hear them tell their story in their own voice. I loved to read this book.

A Meeting with Remarkable Women!
14 July 2004
Format:Paperback
Outstanding book published in 1996 by Thorsons Publishing. Martine Batchelor's "Women on the Buddhist Path" consists of eighteen chapters, each a dharma lecture or narrative by highly-competent Buddhist leaders and thinkers who happen to be female as well. Additionally the work contains an introduction, references and glossary. The chapters are well-referenced and informative.
Readers should be aware that this book was published virtually verbatim as "Walking on Lotus Flowers," also in 1996 and by Thorsons. While this publishing gaffe is not explained, the content of the work is exceptional in both books! Readers who had purchased the same text twice due to the title confusion should pass one copy on to their sisters. (Or even their brothers!)
