Six Tibetan Buddhist nuns from Europe and the United States were ordained in a solemn ceremony held in Taipei on Sunday and they said they will try their best to make Buddhism take root in the West.
With the help of Venerable Heng-ching, the Committee of Western Bhikshunis, and Sakyadhita International, the six Buddhist monastics made their way to Taiwan to receive siksamana ordination in Yi Yuan Temple, Taipei City.
This marks the start of their second stage of a spiritual journey that requires strict discipline and determination.
