This article compares the present state of Buddhism in women to the past state of Buddhism. This article reveals the link between authority and gender in Buddhist traditions being a contested one and how women have managed to break through in Buddhist communities. According to this article, Buddhism for women in impossible because of the woman’s inability to reach enlightenment and because she is limited by her gender. The limitation of the female gender is not only evident in Buddhism and female involvement. For instance, women have ever since time immemorial been limited to act as priest of presides over certain church functions. I think women have a great potential that the world has not realized and denying them opportunities to be in the limelight is biasness that should be punishable. Can women be allowed to become leaders in the Buddhist tradition? The most appealing fact in this article is the statistic that shows how women are becoming involved in the Buddhist tradition and this is a sign that women are now ready to occupy leadership positions (Young-Ja 34).
