Sutta Discussion Group 36 : Why Rules ? ! - Venerable Canda & Venerable Upekha | 17 March 2023

Blurb: Venerable Canda and Venerable Upekkha explore the reasons why nuns are given 311 rules to follow in the monastic code of discipline (Vinaya), whereas monks are only given 227. This live sutta discussion featuring audience participation is based on Bhikkhu Bodhi’s \"The Buddha’s Teachings on Social and Communal Harmony\", Wisdom Publications, page 116 onwards. Anukampa is a UK Charity and pioneering project that is raising funds to develop the first Theravada Bhikkhuni Monastery in the UK, where women can train towards full ordination. Donations of any amount are very gratefully received to help us achieve this noble aim, welcome you as guests and continue to spread the priceless Dhamma teachings.
