Dignity & Discipline
Reviving Full Ordination for Buddhist Nuns
Thea Mohr,
Ven. Jampa Tsedroen,

The role of nuns in the Buddhist community is more prominent than ever and now is the time to bring to fruition the Buddha's vision of total equality and full ordination for men and women alike. This brilliant collection of resounding voices represents the movement to reinstate full ordination of women in all Buddhist traditions-amid great controversy.

Covering the breadth of Buddhist traditions, Dignity and Discipline is a seminal volume that conveys the history and the vision for the future of the role of women as ambassadors and curators of the ordained Buddhist community.
