The Cullavagga on Bhikkhunī Ordination
Bhikkhu Anālayo
University of Hamburg
With this paper I examine the narrative that in the Cullavagga of the Theravāda Vinaya forms the background to the different rules on bhikkhunī ordination, alternating between translations of the respective portions from the original Pāli and discussions of their implications. An appendix to the paper briefly discusses the term paṇḍaka.
Since it is mentioned in the article, this article maybe of interest as well: “On Ordaining Bhikkhunis Unilaterally”–a critic on Bhikkhu Anālayo’s works (http://sangham.net/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item246)
