In 2011, Christine Toomey fulfilled an unforgettable band of Tibetan Buddhist nuns. After reading their testimonies - of jail, extreme hardship, and in the end fleeing into exile - she resolved to learn more about the private, courageous women of Buddhism: who they are, their connection with troubled, what motivates them to seek enlightenment, and what stands in their way. Toomey's goal took on even greater urgency with the immediate fatalities of her father and mother and her own seek out healing wisdom in the aftermath of loss. In Search of Buddha's Daughters presents us to women from across the world who've come to the ordained life out of every faith and job. Toomey complies with a Harvard graduate who sometimes breaks into hip-hop goes after meditating, a Japanese nun who have written best-selling erotica, and a Nepalese order of nuns who practice kung fu for religious and physical empowerment. Through insightful conversations with over 30 women, Toomey investigates Buddhism as an antidote to the issues of life in the 21st century and considers the position of women today worldwide and within one of your oldest wisdom traditions.
