The Buddhist spirituality is essentially a very personal & individual path. Dr Karma Lekse's idea about having monasteries for women is fine but often her views go way beyond this, often into exaggeration. When a person lives in a monastery, whether man, woman, monk, nun, layperson, a person practises. Each person practises renunciation, of body & mind. Amongst actual practitioners in monasteries, there are few issues.
