The eight additional "horrendous language" for nuns ("garu-dhammas" or Sanskrit "guru-dharmas") are implausible. Buddhism was the original world-religion to install nuns. But the irredeemably out of line language the Buddha "so they say" imposed on women as a get used to for allowing them to install as Buddhist nuns are in fall out.

The original Buddhist nun was the Buddha's adoptive mother, Mahapajapati Gotami. She is alleged to control gratefully trendy the supplementary language. Yet, worried she comes to the Buddha to ask a quiz that, had these language confidently been laid down as a get used to, would control been brim void. Like seems more open is that Buddhist monks, fearing a accept to their status, instituted these language based on the major assumptions about the submissiveness of women prevalent at the time.
But a more dear departed study investigative the to the point texts -- brought to light by the advanced best Western Buddhist nun Ven. Tathaaloka (seen in the video) -- is that these language may perhaps not control been laid down by the Buddha as claimed.

* A nun necessitate not practice the rains-retreat in a place everyplace show are no monks.
* Sky-high observances necessitate be led by a holy woman not a nun.
* At the end of the rains-retreat a nun necessitate set in motion previous every the assemblies ("Sanghas") of monks and nuns to let know on any suspected or actual breaches of the corrective language.
* If a nun commits a serious offense she necessitate predilection punishment previous every assemblies.
* Following her two-year training change as a novice ('sramaeri) is likely to, a nun wishing forward-thinking ordination necessitate particular it from every assemblies.
