The Going Forth of
Mahāpajāpatī Gotamī in T 60
Bhikkhu Anālayo
University of Hamburg
In what follows I
translate a discourse preserved as an individual translation in the
Taishō edition under entry number 60, which reports the going forth of
Mahāpajāpatī Gotamī. Following that is a discussion concerning the
different attitudes toward women that emerge from this discourse and a
comparison to the current setting in Thailand.
