A Bhikkhuni is a fully ordained female Buddhist monastic. Male monastics are called Bhikkhus. Buddhism is unique in that Buddha, as founder of a spiritual tradition, explicitly states in canonical literature that a woman is as capable of nirvana (enlightenment) as a man, and can fully attain all four stages of enlightenment.
Meditation is for the Bhikkhunis the road to enlightenment. Photo taken at the Buddhist temple of Pha That Luang in Vientiane.
Een bhikkhuni is een non in het boeddhisme. Het dagelijks leven en veel van de regels voor bhikkhuni's komen sterk overeen met die van bhikkhu's de boeddhistische monniken. Voor bhikkhuni's is er echter een striktere discipline. Een van de redenen hiervoor is dat in de tijd van de Boeddha vrouwen onder bescherming stonden van mannen. De Orde van Bhikkhuni's is daarom ook ondergeschikt aan de Orde van Bhikkhu's, die een begeleidende en overziende rol speelt in de Orde van de Bhikkhuni's.
