Buddhism and Taoism on Women

By Missionary Review of the World

Buddhism and Taoism are equally hard on women. According to these two systems, no woman, however virtuous she may be, has any hope of immediate salvation beyond the grave. When a woman dies, simply because she is a woman she falls into the dread "lake of blood." And when she has expiated her supposed sins, the sins of womanhood, in the supposed lake, all she can expect, the highest she can hope for, is to be reborn into the world as a man. — Missionary Review of the World.
