Description
A comparative study of narratives around the establishment of the nun's order in Buddhism. This monograph compares different variations of similar stories from sources in Pāli, Chinese, Tibetan, Uyghur and so on. Ven. Anālayo convincingly argues that the misogynist views about nun's ordination and women in general were later development after the passing of the Buddha and were appended under the social pressure and for fear of nun's competition for alms.
A must read for anyone who cares about what the Buddha actually said about nuns and nuns' order.
