Bhikkhuni Ordination
Loading...
Uploaded by EdRitger on Dec 6, 2011
This is a photo slideshow of a full monastic ordination ceremony of three Bhikkhuni. This ordination constitutes the cutting edge of Buddhism as is challenges the patriarchal attitudes and history present in many Buddhist lineages. There have always been places for women in the monastic community, but rarely are women given the same monastic ordination as men. This is a topic of great discussion in the greater Buddhist community and is met with a variety of opinions and ideas. This ceremony, which took place on October 17, 2011 at Spirit Rock Meditation Center in Woodacre CA, had the support of venerable monastics from all the major branches of Buddhism, as well as the support of Bhikkhu Bodhi. It was an honor for me to be a part of this momentous occasion.

Thank you so much for creating and uploading this slideshow. It looks like it was an exquisite experience for everyone. I can't tell you how heartening it is to finally see bhikkhuni ordination in the Forest Tradition. It fills my heart with joy.
Thank you to the new bhikkhunis and everyone else involved for so bravely blazing this trail. Generations of women will benefit by your actions far into the future.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
