Thanks Zom
What about all the nuns underwent full ordination under Ajahn Braham?
My understanding is now there are validly ordained nuns.
Bhikhuni ordination?

Re: Bhikhuni ordination?
Why only one man?It seems the full ordination is not accepted under one man?
There are many male monks with AB.

How can this be legal then?

just a friendly reminder that it's spelled 'bhikkhunī' with diacritic over the second i

Re: Bhikhuni ordination?
As far as I remember, they were ordained just by 4 bhikkhus on the (taken out of context) Vinaya statement spoken by the Buddha: "Monks, I allow you to ordain women" (or close to that). Famous thai scholar Ven. Payutto explains that this phrase Buddha used only once in particular circumstances - when 500 women, followers of Maha Pajapati Gotami, needed to be ordained (this happened just right after he allowed Maha Pajapati Gotami to become a bhikkhuni). After monks ordained all these women, Buddha established general (overriding) rule: from now on 4 bhikkhus + 4 bhukkhunis are needed. This is how bhikkhuni sangha lived on since then.Thanks Zom
