While it obviously makes sense that the monks have to agree to the rules of the sangha and live by them, I’m confused as to why there are not exceptions to the rule for people who have broken the rules before being ordained. Are they not allowed to be ordained because they are simply liable to break the rules again, or are they not ordained because they’ve accumulated too much bad karma to set them on the path to nirvana and buddhahood? Is it necessary for them to live out more rebirths until…

dedicate themselves to the monastics (84). It is noted that this is in stark contrast to monks who comparatively have ample resources. Since monks normally dictate a lot of what the nuns can and cannot do, the gap of wealth between nunneries and monasteries is only one of the factors affecting the Buddhist nuns’ activities, as the actual ecology of the Himalayan Kashmir directly affects the Nuns work. While reading the analysis of the life of a Buddhist nun…

Prior to analyzing humility, it is important to first define what it is and why it is important.…

Lana shot a glance towards the baby blue eyes that she felt lying on her. She saw Mary Eunice's face blow up in a dark shade of scarlet. She saw her body stiffen as she turned her head to the ground and she started to rush towards the exit out of the day room. "Second time this day." Lana chuckled to herself while taking another long drag from her cigarette. She flicked the cigarette over the ashtray, and watched the tiny specks float down from the butt. She finally released the smoke from her…

During her early life, from a young age her mother Beatriz de Ahumada y Cuevas, made sure to raise her daughter as a pious Christian. Meaning that she wanted Teresa to be deeply devoted to God. Around the age of seven years old, Teresa was fascinated by the saints and martyrs and their devotion. Inspired by them, Teresa would often pray in silence and give alms to the less fortunate.

Another way the Buddha attempts to maintain the principle of Buddhism was to place “eight chief rules” as a condition of accepting women to enter the monastic life. Although these rules stressed the superiority of monks over nuns, their development actually empowered women’s image in the society. The “eight chief rules” placed nuns in a subordinate position. For instance, nuns were not allowed to spend in the district without a monk during rainy season and they cannot provide advice or disregard…
