Buddhist Personality: Bhikkhuni Dhammananda

Bikkhuni Dhammananda, who has been working for revival of bhikkhuni tradition in Theravada Buddhism in Thailand talks about history, present condition and future of nuns (bhikkhuni) in Theravada Buddhism. She talks about women in Buddhism, her experience as a nun, world-wide movement, Nepal's situation and the development of Lumbini.
Dhammananda Bhikkhuni (Thai: ธัมมนันทา; rtgs: Thammanantha), was born Chatsumarn Kabilsingh (Thai: ฉัตรสุมาลย์ กบิลสิงห์; rtgs: Chatsuman Kabinsing) or Chatsumarn Kabilsingh Shatsena (Thai: ฉัตรสุมาลย์ กบิลสิงห์ ษัฏเสน; rtgs: Chatsuman Kabinsing Satsena; 6 October 1944) is a Thai bhikkhuni ("Buddhist nun"). On 28 February 2003, Kabilsingh received full monastic ordination as a bhikkhuni of the Theravada tradition in Sri Lanka, making her the first modern Thai woman to receive full ordination as a Theravada bhikkhuni. She is Abbess of Songdhammakalyani Monastery, the only temple in Thailand where there are bhikkhunis.

Wow! This is an excellent video and set of replies to questions! This is clearly the mother of a sangha or many sanghas and bhikkunis! I hope that Bhodi or licensed others can get permission to place each of the question responses into an indexed "EXperts Telling Relevant Advice" system or simple front end set of embedded links that is available to others seeking information and advice. Thank you very much for making this high quality, high toned video available!

[@MichaelMarko]

It’s a shame that there’s ever a question of women’s ordination. It’s ridiculous to exclude them. It’s not real.

[@srijanatmak151]

Will Nepali monks watch this intervew? I know most of Nepali monks are against Bhikkhuni movement.

[@dharmadhammanda4062]

But not me.... l would like to support it.

[@nyimasherpa511]

This is not true! I think in order to understand the ground reality, you should first visit Nepal, study the reality and consider to comment

[@RikeshManandhar-kb2ye]

I don't think so
