The times they are a changing

Quoting His Holiness the Dalai Lama from this paper [3]:

  1. In 2005, His Holiness the Dalai Lama repeatedly spoke about the bhikshuni ordination in public gatherings. In Dharamsala, His Holiness encouraged, "We need to bring this to a conclusion. We Tibetans alone can't decide this. Rather, it should be decided in collaboration with Buddhists from all over the world. Speaking in general terms, were the Buddha to come to this 21st century world, I feel that most likely, seeing the actual situation in the world now, he might change the rules somewhat...."
  2. Later, in Zurich during a 2005 conference of Tibetan Buddhist Centers, His Holiness said, "Now I think the time has come; we should start a working group or committee" to meet with monks from other Buddhist traditions. Looking at the German bhikshuni, Ven. Jampa Tsedroen, he instructed, "I prefer that Western Buddhist nuns carry out this work…Go to different places for further research and discuss with senior monks (from various Buddhist countries). I think, first, senior bhikshunis need to correct the monks' way of thinking.
  3. "This is the 21st century. Everywhere we are talking about equality….Basically Buddhism needs equality. There are some really minor things to remember as a Buddhist--a bhikshu always goes first, then a bhikshuni….The key thing is the restoration of the bhikshuni vow."

Seems as if the monks corrected the western bhikshunis.

Or maybe western bhikshunis have not been "senior bhikshunis".

Don't understand the reasons for deleting

Have you given reasons for all of your work? [4]

Austerlitz -- 88.72.7.214 (talk) 18:33, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your "argument" (automatism) is for one link only, [5], the rest I am going to reinsert, don't see any reason for deleting.

Gurudhammas have been a topic

There is only a very short abstract available online [http://www.congress-on-buddhist-women.org/index.php?id=65 Abstract: The Eight Garudhammas by PD Dr. Ute Hüsken]. In the PDF text there is to be found this short abstract, too, not more.
