Ajahn Brahm on Bhikkhus and Bhikkhunis

On invitation Ajahn Brahm spoke at the Buddhist Maha Vihara, Brickfileds, in Kuala Lumpur about why he came to support the reintroduction of the Bhikkhuni ordination, and the advantages of having the Sasana standing on four pillars.

The full title of the talk was: Is there wholehearted support for the re-establishment of the Bhikkhuni Sangha from the Bhikkhu Sangha? Ajahn is as entertaining as always and uses his unique style of presentation to get a serious message across.

The video was recorded and edited by Teik Leong Lim, who gave permission to upload it.

The way to respect Buddha is Bhikkhu, Bhikkhuni, upasaka and upasika to enter the right path, according to Dhamma to practice.

bhikkhu vā bhikkhunī vā upāsako vā upāsikā vā dhammānudhammappaṭipanno viharati sāmīcippaṭipanno anudhammacārī, so tathāgataṃ sakkaroti garuṃ karoti māneti pūjeti apaciyati, paramāya pūjāya. [Dighanikaya Parinibbanasuttam]

一位比丘、比丘尼、男居士、女居士進入正法, 方向正確地進入正道, 依法而行, 就是對如來作最高的照顧、恭敬、尊重、供養。[長部, 大般涅槃經]

Buddhist disciples include bhikkhu, bhikkhuni, upasika and upasaka.
