Fwd: Fw: equal rights for nuns!

[Seth Josephson]

Derek forwarded this message to me, and shockingly it is apparently true that a monk was expelled from his temple for giving full ordination to nuns. Here is some more info on this story:

I personally fully support full ordination for women. If you agree, please take the time to write a letter. Follow the link below.

Hello friends on the path, fellow travelers, and those who just like to sign cyberpetitions.

 

NOBODY expects the Buddhist inquisition!  

 

But Ajahn Brahmavamso and some others have just been expelled from their group for having given full ordination to female monastics.  Support full bhikkhuni ordination!   Here’s the link:  http://sites.google.com/site/supportbhikkhunis/letter-library

My 2 cents,

For all fairness, not witnessing what actually happened and for the sake of "better than a thousands words is one word that bring peace"..... I encourage others to solve the problem with a precaution not to rage with ANGER and HATRED but to act with WISDOM and COMPASSION in mind.

Metta,
