ENG:
Taiwan's Buddhist nuns are as unique as they are noteworthy. Boasting the greatest number of Buddhist nuns of any country, Taiwan has a much greater number of nuns than monks. These women are well known and well regarded as dharma teachers and for the social service work that has made them a central part of Taiwan's civil society. In this, the first English-language book on Taiwanese women and Buddhism, author Elise Ann DeVido introduces readers to Taiwan's Buddhist nuns, but also looks at the larger question of how Taiwan's Buddhism shapes and is shaped by women—mainly nuns but also laywomen, who like their clerical sisters flourish in that country.
RUS:
На острове Тайвань проживает самое большое количество буддийских монахинь в мире. Эти женщины хорошо известны и почитаемы как религиозные наставницы, а также благодаря социальной работе, позволившей им стать ядром тайваньского гражданского общества. В этой книге Элиза де Видо знакомит читателей с буддийскими монахинями Тайваня и рассматривает вопрос о том, как буддизм Тайваня формируется женщинами — как монахинями, так и мирянками.
