ბუდიზმს აქვს გენდერისა და სექსუალობის თემის ჩართვის დიდი ისტორია ისე, რომ იყო ინოვაციური და ინკლუზიური მათი დროისთვის და ასევე ანდროცენტრული. (მამრობითი ორიენტირებული) ბუნებაში. ჩვენ შეგვიძლია ვისწავლოთ ბუდისტური სწავლებებიდან და ვაღიაროთ გარკვეული შეზღუდვები სანგაებში გენდერულ კონფიგურაციასთან დაკავშირებით., წარსული და აწმყო. Topics include: the liberation stories of Buddhist women at different times and places across Asia, the deconstruction of gender binaries and striking representations of gender fluidity in Mahayana literature, the feminine principle and sexual ethics. In order to create a community that strives to foster safety for all its members, we could learn more about what Buddhism has to say on these topics and what contemporary conversations can contribute. This will allow us to have more informed discussions about gender dynamics and harm prevention in Shambhala and co-create the ground for positive change.

Components to this course:

● Talks on Gender & სექსუალობა ბუდიზმის სამ იანაში – A series of 30 minute pre-recorded talks (three per yana) by Professor Holly Gayley will provide an overview of gender and sexuality in Buddhist history, sharing stories and exploring shifts in view and practice across the three yanas or “vehicles” of Buddhism.

● Video Library of Key Concepts in Gender & Intersectionality – Guest Presenters will give 5-10 minute presentations on key concepts to help forge a shared understanding and vocabulary for discussions about gender dynamics and its intersections with other forms of social identity.

Gender dynamics are the ever-shifting norms and practices around gender and sexuality. The term dynamics points to the ways that gender is cultural and relational, learned through socialization and enacted in everyday interactions—through performing or resisting gender roles and sexual norms. Როგორც შედეგი, cultural ideas about these change over time and across each generation. Gender is also dynamic to the extent that it intersects with other forms of social identity, including race, class, and sexual orientation. These dynamics play out in institutional patterns and interpersonal relationships in ways that range from affirming and positive, on the one hand, to harmful and damaging on the other. In order to promote cultural change and harm prevention in Shambhala, our community could understand more about gender dynamics. Please join us for this three-month journey of dharma exploration and community conversations.
