Abstract:
Monasticism has been a central feature of the Buddhist tradition from the inception
of Buddhism to its current revival and has been spread throughout the world. In
Monasticism and Modesty, all rules are devoted to living as a monk. The Vinaya is
considered a rich source for writing the history of the community of early Buddhist
nuns. Therefore, in this article, a complete description of Buddhist Vinaya and
Buddhist nuns will be given. In this article, an attempt will be made to focus on the
relationship between the two most important aspects of monastic assemblage among
Buddhist nuns in the modern era. Firstly, how the nuns present themselves; and
secondly, how they are embedded in their revival discourse and ethics discourse.
Her statement may be an important subject of public debate, as it relates to disputes
about the tradition and recognition of the high ordination of nuns. This would be
related to the cultivation of their moral dispositions (Sïla) such as moderation and
discipline, which are essential to the tradition, and which would be based on the
daily activities and the everyday life of nuns. In addition, the article will argue how
nuns lead a collective lifestyle related to the strength and tradition of their morality.
Thus, the purpose of this paper is to explore the revival of Buddhist nuns in the
modern era. This study will also analyse several Vinaya passages based on modified
perspectives, addressing the life of a nun.
