Women and Buddhism Essay
short essay of approximately 500 words (about 2 pages double spaced), you will be given a fairly general prompt for you to base essay, with the intention that you will find a more specific thread tailored to your own interests to fit within the theme of the prompt.
the prompt is:
The Buddha was known to have said that if women had been allowed into the Sangha from the start, the impact of the Dharma would have only lasted half as long. What do you think he meant by this? Do you think the Buddha was against women, or were there other factors that the Buddha was addressing?
