Alison Melnick Dyer employs literary and historical analysis, centered on a biography written by the nun's disciple Gyurme? O?sel, to consider how privilege influences individual authority, how authoritative Buddhist women have negotiated their position in gendered contexts, and how the lives of historical Buddhist women are (and are not) memorialized by their communities. Mingyur Peldro?n's story challenges the dominant paradigms of women in religious life and adds nuance to our ideas about the history of gendered engagement in religious institutions. Her example serves as a means for better understanding of how gender can be both masked and asserted in the search for authority-operations that have wider implications for religious and political developments in eighteenth-century Tibet. In its engagement with Tibetan history, this study also illuminates the relationships between the Geluk and Nyingma schools of Tibetan Buddhism from the eighteenth century, to the nonsectarian developments of the nineteenth century. 517 $aTibetan Nun Mingyur Peldrön 517 $aTibetan Nun Mingyur Peldrön 606 $aBuddhist nuns 606 $aLamas 607 $aTibet Region 610 $aAsian history 615 0$aBuddhist nuns. 615 0$aLamas. 676 $a294.3657092 700 $aMelnick Dyer$b Alison$01271818 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910587589003321 996 $aThe Tibetan Nun Mingyur Peldro?n$92996008 997 $aUNINA
