Buddhism and Women


Buddhism is unique in that Buddha, as founder of a spiritual tradition, explicitly states in canonical literature that a woman is as capable of nirvana enlightenment as a man, and can fully attain all four stages of enlightenment. Buddhism does not restrict either the educational opportunities of women or their religious freedom.
