Gender, Identity, and Tibetan Buddhism is a cross-cultural study that links the symbolic representations and current thinking about intersubjectivity and identity politics in Tibetan buddhism. It examines some of the cultural factors that influence the representations and practices of gender in Tibet’s archic imagery, monastic institutions, and, in light of Tibetan Buddhism’s popularity in western culture, June Campbell asks important questions about the possible abuses and misuses of power, authority, and secrecy in Tibetan Tantra’s sexual practices, now that its teachings have been disseminated around the globe.
