Mulasarvastivada bhikshuni sangha re-established

Post by jmlee369 »

I haven't come across any posts mentioning this yet, so thought I'd make one.

His Holiness the 70th Je Khenpo of Bhutan recently ordained 142 women from Bhutan and neighbouring countries (as well as a British nun) as Mulasarvastivada bhikshunis using the single bhikshu sangha ordination method amidst auspicious signs. You can see Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo's post here and His Holiness' statement on the ordination here.
