The Question of Bhikkhunī Ordination by Ṭhānissaro Bhikkhu
A complete collection of Ṭhānissaro Bhikkhu’s writings since 2009 on the validity of recent attempts to reinstitute bhikkhunī ordination.
This paper examines the recent events following the bhikkhunī revival in Sri Lanka, and looks at the position of the Burmese Saṅgha, which has traditionally seen itself as the custodian of an ‘authentic’ Buddhist legacy, thrown into a debate by the action of a Burmese bhikkhunī who was recently ordained in Sri Lanka. It introduces the early initiatives of revivalist monks in Burma as well as the viewpoints of Burmese Saṅgha and the nuns in regard to the bhikkhunī issue. Since most debate on the position of nuns take place without much reference to the local political contexts in which they stand, the state monastic organization in Burma is introduced to aid understanding of the framework in which the nuns operate today. At another level, the paper draws attention to the tension created between the international bhikkhunīs who promote liberal ideologies of gender equality, individual rights and universalism into a faith based community, and local nuns who adhere to the traditional norms of religious duty, moral discipline and service to the community, and questions the ultimate aim in endorsing such secular ideals.

A RECORD OF THE BUDDHIST RELIGION AS PRACTISED IN INDIA AND THE MALAY ARCHIPELAGO (A.D. 671-695)
After the introduction of Buddhism into China, a.d. 67 ', Fa-hien was the first to make a pilgrimage in India, the holy land of the Buddhists. His journey, which lasted about sixteen years (a.d. 399-414), was detailed in his F6-kue-ki . Next followed the travels of Sun-yun and Hwui-seng, a.d. 518; unfortunately,however, their narrative 3 is very short, and not to be compared with that of the other travellers. Much later, in the T'ang dynasty, the Augustan age of Chinese Buddhist literature, we have first the famous Hiuen Thsang, of whom we know so much through his work, Si-yu-ki, the Record of the Western Kingdom . His travels in India covered some seventeen years (a.d. 629-645), and anything that came under his notice was fully recorded in the said work, which is an indispensable text-book for Indian history and geography.
Soon after Hiuen Thsang's death, another, by no means less famous, Buddhist, I-tsingby name, started for India, a.d. 671, and arrived in Tamralipti, at the mouth of the Hooghly, a.d. 673. He studied in Nalanda, the centre of Buddhist learning, at the east end of the Ra^agr/ha valley, for a considerable time, and collected some 400 Sanskrit texts, amounting to 500,000 .dokas. On his way home he stayed...........................

Legends and Miracles of Buddha
Legends and Miracles of Buddha, Sakya Sinha, Vol. 1: Translated From the Avadan Kalpalata of Bodhi-Sattwas, of the Great Sanskrit Poet K'shemendraThough the profession of Buddhism has for the most part passed away from the land of its birth, the mark of Gautama's sublime teaching is stamped ineffaceably upon modern Brahman ism and the most characteristic habits and convictions of the Hindus are clearly due to the benign influence of Buddha's pre cepts Preface to Sir Edwin Arnold's Light of Asia.
