I want a two page essay about Budhdhism
Humanities
Please discuss the following prompt: 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?
I want a two page of essay, minimum 550 words.
In your essays, I would like you to use at least two different peer reviewed sources to help substantiate your points. One of the sources should come from one of the assigned readings, and I would like at least one other source to come from outside our course texts. There are some great resources out there to help you find appropriate peer reviewed source material. One place to find some good journal articles is JSTOR (www.jstor.org). . I’d like you to avoid using websites, as often these are not the most reliable and lack peer reviewed status. When providing these sources, you must use the Chicago Manual of Style (CMS or Chicago Style).
Readings:
Ohnuma, Reiko. “Woman, Bodhisattva, and Buddha”. In Journal of Feminist Studies in Religion, Vol. 17, No. 1 (Spring, 2001), pp. 63-83.
Hanh, (Hanh, Thich Nhat. The Heart of the Buddha’s Teaching) pp. 94-104
on of the sources should be from the above readings, and the other from you.
