Jo mo
by Gianotti Carla, Gianotti Carla, Gianotti CarlaIn the various itineraries of contemporary Buddhism, the spiritual search of women in recent decades has also and above all become a search for \’places of recognition\’, capable of weaving a symbolic universe of possible genealogies and female spiritual models. This book is dedicated to the spiritual achievements of twenty-four Tibetan female ascetics, who lived between the 11th and 12th centuries, disciples of the Indian siddha Dampa Sangye: short hagiographies of the \’ascetic women\’ called jo mo, here for the first time translated from the original Tibetan, who led an existence far from the world, in the solitude of the mountains or concealing their real identity.
