Description
The book 'The Divine Emissaries' by authors Stephanie Guyer-Stevens and Françoise Pommaret is being released at the most opportune time. Rapidly transforming Bhutan is at a critical juncture today, where it is necessary to remind people of faith, history, and traditions. The authors document and analyze the place of exceptional women in the world of Vajrayana Buddhism. They have been guided by the lives of divine emissaries from the past. Their book is compelling in how it connects the past with the present in its view of the still-surviving practices of divine emissaries in contemporary Bhutan. The work of these authors not only helps preserve faith in these traditions but also provides a basis for further research and documentation of various beliefs, attitudes, and practices within the Buddhist community, particularly regarding the role of women in Buddhism.
