Ties That Bind: Maternal Imagery and Discourse in Indian Buddhism
Ohnuma, Reiko (Associate Professor of Religion, Associate Professor of Religion, Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH, US)
Reiko Ohnuma offers a wide-ranging exploration of maternal imagery and discourse in pre-modern South Asian Buddhism, drawing on textual sources preserved in Pali and Sanskrit. She demonstrates that Buddhism in India had a complex and ambivalent relationship with mothers and motherhood-symbolically, affectively, and institutionally.
