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) | |

"Now this, monks, is the noble truth of suffering: birth is suffering, aging is suffering, illness is suffering, death is suffering; union with what is displeasing is suffering; seperation from what is pleasing is suffering… in brief, the five aggregates subject to clinging are suffering.”
~ The Buddha
