Wisdom Rising: Journey into the Mandala of the Empowered Feminine

by Lama Tsultrim Allione

Enliven Books, New York, New York, 2018.      356 pages

The extent of violation of women and violence to the earth perpetrated by men does not mean that all men are perpetrators. It is important to acknowledge that there are many forward-thinking males around the world who recognize these same problems and are working in collaboration with women to change them. While I am focusing on the need for the empowerment of women in this book, and the devastating results of the lack of women's equality and their abuse, ultimately . . . we need to develop the model of mutually empowered partnership with men rather than domination of either gender, societies that promote power with rather than power over each other. 

We are slowly awakening to the crisis of the earth and the effect of the loss of the sacred feminine, but few people understand that the causes of the crisis have spiritual values at their roots - values of the sacred as immanent, imbued in all of life, and all life as interdependent. . . It is by empowering the sacred feminine and by listening to the earth as she tries to communicate with us that we will ultimately heal. (pp. 6-7)
