Four Types of Women

Rating 3.00 out of 5

Budda says there are four different types of women:

1. Those who become angry for slight causes, who have changeable minds, who are greedy, jealous of other’s happiness, and who have no sympathy for the needs of others.
2. Those who grow angry over ordinary affairs, who are fickle and greedy, but who do not envy others their happiness and who are sympathetic for the needs of others.
3. Those who are more broad-minded and who do not become angry very often, and who know how to control a greedy mind, but who are not able to avoid feelings of jealousy and who are not sympathetic.
4. Those who are broad-minded, who can restrain feelings of greed and retain a calm mind, who do not envy others their happiness, and who are sympathetic for the needs of others.

As a woman myself, I am confused!
Not that I do not know how I am to be in such confusion . . . but what I have become it is . . .

On the other hand, there is this sayings from HIM:
(Vaddha Sutta, SN 37.4)

Buddha encourages education for women:

“A female disciple of the noble ones who grows in terms of these five types of growth grows nobly. She grasps hold of what is essential and what is excellent in the body. Which five?

“She grows in terms of conviction.
“She grows in terms of virtue.
“She grows in terms of learning.
“She grows in terms of generosity.
“She grows in terms of discernment.

“Growing in these ways, the female disciple of the noble ones grows nobly. She grasps hold of what is essential and what is excellent in the body.”

She grows in conviction and virtue, discernment, generosity, and learning: A virtuous female lay disciple such as this takes hold of the essence right here within herself.

Growing is the essence of life and life does change people.
