Reduced to Lay Women!
We were obliged to give up our novice robes and wear whites. On Ordination Day, we were to receive the five precepts of the lay Buddhist, the ten precepts of the Samaneri, and the 311 precepts of the Bhikkhuni. Gunanusari (L) and Sobhana (R) | |

Household life is crowded and dusty; life gone forth is wide open… Suppose I shave off my hair and beard, put on the ochre robe, and go forth from the home life into homelessness.”
