比丘尼僧團在斯里蘭卡—以丹普拉比丘尼僧團為例

The Bhikkhuni Movement in Sri Lanka: a Ten-year Review of Dambulla Bhikkhuni Sangha

摘要


在藏傳與上座部佛教中,只有比丘僧團而無比丘尼僧團。近年來,許多佛教女性主義運動者大聲呼籲,要重建比丘尼僧團。在斯里蘭卡,重建比丘尼運動已略見成效。自從1998年起,丹普拉黃金寺每年都舉辦比丘尼戒壇,因此,我們可說,比丘尼僧團已回到斯里蘭卡,至2008年已有十年。筆者利用2008年暑假,到斯里蘭卡採訪幾位丹普拉比丘尼僧伽主要活動人士,並訪查丹普拉比丘尼僧團現況。本文首先將討論斯里蘭卡文本中的比丘尼形像,接著將對丹普拉比丘尼僧團過去十年來的發展作檢視與回顧。

並列摘要


In Tibetan and Theravada traditions, there exist only the bhikkhu sangha (the order of fully-ordained monks) but not the bhikkhuni sangha (the order of fully-ordained nuns). The efforts to establish the bhikkhuni sangha have been undertaken by Buddhist feminists in recent years. Such effort has borne fruit in Sri Lanka. In Dambulla, for example, the ordination of bhikkhuni has taken place each year since 1998. It is thus safe to say that the bhikkhuni sangha has returned to Sri Lanka. This paper is based on the information gathered from my visit to Dambulla Bhikkhuni Sangha in the summer of 2008. It will first discuss the image of bhikkhuni in Sri Lankan textual discourse before moving on to the discussion of the ten-year development of Dambulla Bhikkhuni Sangha.
