The ‘world-wide-conflict’ over minutae of Vinaya is reminding me of the scribes and pharisees who Jesus said would “strain out a gnat, but swallow a camel”. Similarly, if we cling excessively to the details of Vinaya, we miss the heartwood of the Teaching – Liberation.

Had Ajahn Chah been still around, I am sure he would agree with Ajahn Bhram too. If there are Bhikkuni in Sri Langka I cannot understand why there cannot be any Bhikunni in Australia.

If Thailand forbids Bhukkinis in Thailand, it’s Thailand’s matter. What is important is the practise of Dhamma. Lineage is not so important compare with having a good teacher.
