Quest for the Enlightened Feminine: Faith, Tara, and the Path of Compassion BY Anna Howard

Quest for the Enlightened Feminine by Anna Howard recounts a personal spiritual journey from mystical Christianity to Vajrayana Buddhism. Her time at Kagyu Samye Ling leads into an eighteen-month pilgrimage inspired by Green Tara and her twenty-one emanations.

Personal narrative is interwoven with Tibetan Buddhist teachings, compassion practices and reflection on the divine feminine. The result is a spiritual memoir with practical material, not a single systematic manual representing all Buddhist traditions.
