Definitions and Meaning of भिक्षुणी in Hindi

भिक्षुणी NOUN

  1. बोद्ध संन्यासिनी ।

Description

बौद्ध धर्म में पूर्णतः दीक्षित मठवासियों स्त्रियों को भिक्षुणी (संस्कृत) या भिख्क्खुनी (पालि) कहते हैं। भिक्षु और भिक्षुणी विनय के अनुसार रहते हैं।

A bhikkhunī or bhikṣuṇī is a Buddhist nun, fully ordained female in Buddhist monasticism. Bhikkhunis live by the Vinaya, a set of either 311 Theravada, 348 Dharmaguptaka, or 364 Mulasarvastivada school rules. Until recently, the lineages of female monastics only remained in Mahayana Buddhism and thus were prevalent in countries such as China, Korea, Taiwan, Japan, and Vietnam, while a few women have taken the full monastic vows in the Theravada and Vajrayana schools. The official lineage of Tibetan Buddhist bhikkhunis recommenced on 23 June 2022 in Bhutan when 144 nuns were fully ordained.
