| | | | Ordination of women - Christianity: Encyclopedia II - Ordination of women - Buddhism This ordination of women is currently and historically practised in some Buddhist regions and not in others.
The tradition of the ordained monastic community (sangha) began with Buddha, who established orders of Bhikkhu (monks) and later, after an initial reluctance, of Bhikkuni (nuns).
