Eight measures respectful of the nuns.

When the Buddha to allow women to join the sangha, Di samples Ma-ha-three-soap-three-(Mahapajapati Gotami) became the first nun and she accepts French Glass Bowl as a prerequisite to to be ordained.:

1. Monks-ni whether 100-year-old down to pay homage to a newly ordained monk one day.

2. Monks-ni not settled in a home to no monks.

3. Chu monks-ni should pray day is the day the Bodhisattva and for teachers prepositions monks in the fortnightly.

4. After Lent monks monks-ni have to ask themselves four (three things: seeing, hearing, comfort) with binary and nuns.

5. Do Ni felony to binary before the nuns pray executive Manasseh threatened in the second half of the month.

6. Wake-delete-ma-na observing 6 for 2 years, to be ordained monks-ni must come before the Second nuns prayed.

When the Buddha to allow women to join the sangha, Di samples Ma-ha-three-soap-three-(Mahapajapati Gotami) became the first nun and she accepts French Glass Bowl as a prerequisite to to be ordained.

Currently, a controversial issue is disrespectful content [1] is recorded in the Tripitaka is similar to the French irreverent content that sample Di Ma-ha-ba-soap-ba-subject had received or not. However, in general, we can see the French Glass Bowl as a direct way to protect monks monks-nuns, and indirect protection for the Order in its infancy. Let us study each rule in the French Glass Bowl and trying to understand French Glass Bowl is prepared in the context of how social history.

1. Monks-ni whether 100-year-old down to pay homage to a newly ordained monk one day.

This law says Buddhism is a patriarchal system with the pejorative nature of women. But in fact, this law bring direct benefits to the monks-ni, helping them make small gradual nature ego (atta) of them. Again, Ni Group was established following the Sangha, and Buddha to rely on satellite wise monks to help him teach new monks-nuns ordained. By law, the monks-nuns to be reverent monks is very reasonable. The Buddha did not want the new rules and he did not want to go against the flow of society when this law is nothing contrary to the fundamental spirit of Buddhism.

Again, the Buddha is not a law, He always opens exceptions for the disciples (open). There is a group of monks missing from a tender with Monks-ni, He allows text monks-ni not respect the monks. [2]

2. Monks-ni not settled in a home to no monks.

In Indian society, women always men in the family to protect. Also in the Sangha, monks monks who he must protect for monks-ni like their little sister. This law was prepared as for the direct benefit for monks-ni.

However, in Taiwan due to different social circumstances, monks monks-nuns lived separately from the Sangha. Monks monks-ni not have protection needs of monks and monks.

In fact, Ni Group in Taiwan was established previously strong and new monks from mainland China to Taiwan after China moved to the Communist regime.

3. Chu monks-ni should pray day is the day the Bodhisattva and for teachers prepositions monks in the fortnightly.

Usually the Buddhist rituals are held according to the lunar calendar. Sangha regular meetings to celebrate up-ma (Sanghakamma) on each half months. To be eligible for Binary Increase up-ma on the same day, the monks monks-nuns always said to ask to make sure day celebration for consistency.

About teachers, only a certain monk was chosen as the teacher to go to the stake Ni world. Nuns have to go to beg the teacher is a reasonable need to make.

4. After Lent monks monks-ni have to ask themselves four (three things: seeing, hearing, comfort) with binary and nuns.

Suicide is a way of democracy in the Sangha. Monks and nuns can repeat the wrong behavior to the wrong people can change, progress and to keep the Sangha community living in harmony and prosperity to the sangha. This immensely benefit nuns. Some nuns problem requires for before the monks repent binary or ask ordination, while the monks do not require this. This value also comes from the historical and social context because the monks have protection, promotion tons and teaching nuns. This is not appropriate for nuns participated in the celebration of the crime of which some monks teacher their life.

5. Do Ni felony to binary before the nuns pray executive Manasseh threatened in the second half of the month.

This law refers to the way of repentance to restore the purity of an offender, allowing him to return to the Sangha. This is important, because the teacher can guide Sangha and transmitted knowledge for Ni Group.

6. Wake-delete-ma-na observing 6 for 2 years, to be ordained monks-ni must come before the Second nuns prayed.

Period of two years practice as a means for a woman to prepare ordained at a higher level, that is monks-nuns. This became a prerequisite and is also an obstacle to those who want to ordained monks-ni that in many countries the current Theravada tradition no Ni unions.

The first cause of this state is prepared to make sure that women be ordained as monks-nuns who have qualified to be ordained. A case is recorded in the Vinaya is a women joining the Sangha that she did not know she was pregnant. Due to her particular case, she was allowed to retain the way of life of the monks-ni to birth. But the real life of a mother are obstacles to the life of a female beggar. In special cases, then this baby is for others to nurture. Therefore, the women, rather than men, need to keep a practice stage called Wake-delete-ma-na.

7. The nuns are not allowed to curse or insult monk in any case.

This accommodation benefits to community life harmony between binary and nuns, especially when the Sangha established before the Ni union and Ni must remember monks to teach.

8. Nuns are not allowed to rebuke the monks, the monks were right to rebuke nuns.

This law is derived from the first law emphasizes the social value in a stage show reverence the Sangha is essential and personal benefits for nuns.

Now let's step into a number of controversial issues in French Glass Bowl. It is believed that the Buddha has the irreverent French Di samples Ma-ha-ba-soap-ba-as the special rules. Often these laws are Ni Group to observe. But if a meticulous study we found that disrespectful Applicable only for Di samples Ma-ha-ba-soap-ba-threads. Since then 500 women of the family Sakyamuni is the patriarch of the elders ordained and Di pattern is not ordained from the Elders. The main problem form, these laws Di received samples can be similar to what the women Sakyamuni or family life or not. Remove sample answered that she was ordained and through the observance of the Eight Glasses [3] .

Another problem, if true French Glass Bowl is the first at Ni Group recently established, because the latter sample Di Ma-ha three-soap-three-to said to the Buddha, monks can feast revered cult together with age religion or not, the Buddha did not accept. This incident must have occurred long after the French Glass Bowl has been prepared. But Di form Ma-ha three-soap-three-to observe French Glass Bowl earlier then claims monks to worship and reverence for age religion is no longer a problem (Article 1 in Glass Bowl ). This event can prove that French Glass Bowl is formed for a long time in a historical process.

Research content of 2 in disrespect of the law, we see laws like world 56 th in three-set-to talk about the residence country (Arama Vagga) in About Bon Ni . If true French nuns have observed disrespectful then why Buddha invent a world in three-set-to like the content of this law in French Glass Bowl. Why this law is repeated so?

In another context, the output of the sample Di Ma-ha-ba-soap-ba-can compare with the publication of false religion Ca-lettuce (Maha Kassapa). The venerable General Ca-lettuce vow to keep the 3 prayers (Ovada), while the sample Di accept keep French disrespectful. But one can make another problem after examining three laws that Venerable Great Ca-lettuce compliance, these laws are just special rules apply exclusively to individuals Venerable Catholic University lettuce. His three prayers University Ca-Lettuce is summarized as follows:

1. I vow to honor monks monks whether years directing big or small.

2. I vow to listen Evil attention.

3. I vow I will not care about the body.

Three prayers are personal Venerable University Ca-lettuce practice when home and lifelong practice of false religion, but French Glass Bowl is applied to the entire Ni Group. French glass bowl itself does not have a proof of the existence, it gives us an idea that may have another French Glass Bowl eight laws are the guiding principles for the practicing of Di the Ma-ha three-soap-three-to.

Rule 6 of French Glass Bowl really create a problem related to the historical process. Venerable Khantipalo (former abbot of Wat Buddharama in Australia) was the first to point out this difference. According to the Supreme Court, the first woman would renounce all of them were ordained monks-nuns in a row. Can not say that the Buddha back to life conditions Wake-delete-ma-na while Ni unions not been established.

Life Class Consciousness-delete-ma-na is the later event when a pregnant woman was to have been presented above. Buddha is not a legislator, he has never prepared for a world which no events occur, each world is made out to be due to problems in the Sangha.

At the newly established Sangha, Venerable Xa-profit-waving white Buddha should the precepts for monks to follow. Buddha rejected because the time was not needed to set any world, and for most of the monks were enlightened. A world is born when monks violation, by that new regulatory Buddha to help the monks to avoid such errors.

Again, the each autologous laws of it is never perfect, it always be amended and adjusted several times to meet the needs of the people. Rules must be understood in the sense of it so that we can live up to the Law as the Buddha wanted message.

[3] The history of this is recorded in Chapter X of Cullavagga (Primary Products) different. According to historical documents, she and five hundred female and determined to walk from the Ca-spleen-la-defense to Pi-residence-ly asked the Buddha to accept to be ordained. Buddha gave the condition that must comply with French Glass Bowl, She represent 500 women accepted the conditions of the Buddha made, immediately Ba and 500 women to be ordained (translator's note).
