Transcending
Transcending | Kevin Manders, Elizabeth Marston
2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
A compelling collection of the many voices and experiences of trans, genderqueer, and nonbinary Buddhists Transcending brings together more than thirty contributors from both the Mahayana and Theravada traditions to present a vision for a truly inclusive trans Buddhist sangha in the twenty-first century. Shining a light on a new generation of Buddhist role models, this book gives voice to those who have long been marginalized within the Buddhist world and society at large. While trans, genderqueer, and nonbinary practitioners have experienced empowerment and healing through their commitment to the Buddha, dharma, and sangha, they also share their experiences of isolation, transphobia, and aggression. In this diverse collection we hear the firsthand accounts, thoughts, and reflections of trans Buddhists from a variety of different lineages in an open invitation for all Buddhists to bring the issue of gender identity into the sangha, into the discourse, and onto the cushion. Only by doing so can we develop insight into our circumstances and grasp our true, essential nature.

Then a dog emerged from my book, fully formed.

TRANSCENDING is exactly what I need right now, on a bunch of different levels that I‘m struggling to articulate in my current exhausted state. I‘ll try to say something more concrete about it in a day or two, when I can put words in the right order.

Behold my excellent library haul! I‘m so glad the stuff I‘ve had on hold for months is finally trickling in, along with some of the newer requests I made right after they reopened.

They limit you to 20 physical holds now—way less than I normally need—so I was also SUPER EXCITED to request 5 new things after I picked these up. I went with three Sandman Universe titles, since they finally bought those, some Jemisin, and some TJ Klune.
