Ajahn Brham (BWSA; Amber Larson, Dhr. Seven, Ashley Wells (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly
Women in Buddhism: Originally equal, demoted by monks, blamed on the Buddha


Theravada female monastic ordination

(Buddhist Society of Western Australia) What about women on International Women's Day? Streamed live on March 8, 2019. The Buddha said that there would be no successor after his passing into final nirvana. Instead, let the Dharma, the Teaching, be the leader of the monastic community, the Sangha.

Ajahn Brahm explains how an organization can function autonomously, that is, make decisions without having an absolute authority.
