There are still some changes that could be made pertaining to the ordination of female monks. It is important to create equality between the sexes in buddhist traditions, although there is more to be done this short film down below discusses the positive change of the role of women in buddhism from then to now.]]> 2020-06-24 04:28:38 UTC https://padlet.com/towoju1/ievbhssmh9zu8oy3/wish/638265386 towoju1 https://padlet.com/towoju1/ievbhssmh9zu8oy3/wish/638265387 "Recently in most of the Theravada world, full ordination of women has begun to be revived...There has been an explosion of  notable women buddhist leaders, who have profoundly influenced and empowered Buddhist women around the world" (p. 178).
- As mentioned in the reading women like Ayya Khema, Mahprajapati, and Empress Wu Zetian of Tang Dynasty of China have paved a way for buddhist nuns and continued to leave a positive mark on buddhist traditions. 
-As in relation to my article it newer generations of buddhists nuns are reaching to greater heights like past generations. It is only right for the women of Thailand to try and fulfill their wishes to be female monks just like past women buddhist leaders have done in order to gain somewhat of equal rights for buddhists nuns. ]]> 2020-06-24 04:28:38 UTC https://padlet.com/towoju1/ievbhssmh9zu8oy3/wish/638265387 towoju1 https://padlet.com/towoju1/ievbhssmh9zu8oy3/wish/638265388 1.

- Just like in the everyday world women want to hold higher status instead of just feeding and cleaning for men. Dhammananda Bhikkhuni and others refused to be of lower status to men but rather equals.
-"Only in China, Korea, Taiwan, and Vietnam are Buddhist nuns given the approbation as their male counterparts" (p.178). In other countries women are not for ordination at all. My article relates to our reading and traditions of buddhism because buddhists nuns want to be agents of change in the equality of women and men in Buddhist traditions.

- Since then  it is evident that the roles for women in buddhism were uprooted by men. My news article relates to our readings because it tackles the controversies of women's right and buddhism specifically the ordination of female monks. It's quite astonishing that buddhist men have controlled almost everything and have left women to be beneath them.]]> 2020-06-24 04:28:38 UTC https://padlet.com/towoju1/ievbhssmh9zu8oy3/wish/638265390 towoju1 https://padlet.com/towoju1/ievbhssmh9zu8oy3/wish/638265391 In contrast there are around 270 female monks across Thailand and most had to be ordained oversees. Meanwhile there are 250,000 male monks. The vast difference speaks for itself in reflection to women's rights. As the years go on women across Thailand continue to advocate for the ordination of female monks.]]> 2020-06-24 04:28:38 UTC https://padlet.com/towoju1/ievbhssmh9zu8oy3/wish/638265391 towoju1 https://padlet.com/towoju1/ievbhssmh9zu8oy3/wish/638265392 Just like the Women's suffrage movement in the mid 19th-century, women are still denied certain religious rights. Although Thailand forbids the ordination of female monks. Countries like Sri Lanka or India are allowing women to pursue their religious dreams despite their gender. Dhammananda Bhikkhuni, flew oversees to Sri Lanka to be ordained in 2001 and became  Thailand’s first female monk. Just like that she paved the way for other women like Boodsabann Chanthawong.]]> 2020-06-24 04:28:38 UTC https://padlet.com/towoju1/ievbhssmh9zu8oy3/wish/638265392 towoju1 https://padlet.com/towoju1/ievbhssmh9zu8oy3/wish/638265393 Boodsabann Chanthawong plans to become an ordained monk (bhikkunis). She will go through the same religions traditions that a monks (bhikkus) will go through. This includes  the shaving of the head and staying in the temple for ten days. Unfortunately like many countries it is forbidden for the ordination of female monks especially in Thailand.]]> 2020-06-24 04:28:38 UTC https://padlet.com/towoju1/ievbhssmh9zu8oy3/wish/638265393 towoju1 https://padlet.com/towoju1/ievbhssmh9zu8oy3/wish/638265394 It has been more than 90 years and women are still facing the injustice pertaining there wants in religious traditions. Another obstacle awakens as women in Thailand fight for the opportunity to be ordained monks. This Journey begins with a woman named Boodsabann Chanthawong, just like other women in Thailand she overcoming an obstacle in Buddhism that will pave the way for many generations to come. ]]> 2020-06-24 04:28:38 UTC https://padlet.com/towoju1/ievbhssmh9zu8oy3/wish/638265394 towoju1 https://padlet.com/towoju1/ievbhssmh9zu8oy3/wish/638265395 I chose these quotes because it unveiled the overall outlook of the role for women in buddhism. These quotes also accentuate the injustice that buddhists nuns and aspiring female monks of Thailand face. Unfortunately the women are ostracized by male buddhist leaders and monks just because they want to pursue higher positions in Buddhism. ]]> 2020-06-24 04:28:38 UTC https://padlet.com/towoju1/ievbhssmh9zu8oy3/wish/638265395
