Theravada Bhikkhuni and the Buddha's Four-fold Assembly
http://buddhistchannel.tv/index.php?id=70,12420,0,0,1,0#.VccHJ61ywg4
A properly functioning Sangha has four aspects: bhikkhus, bhikkhunis, lay women and lay men. All are equally required to uphold and support the Buddha's doctrinal tradition and practices.
Bangkok, Thailand -- When I was in the US Air Force, stationed in Germany, I was given a set of books - the writings of Nicherin, by an older woman co-worker. I also came into contact with a Taiwanese Buddhist woman who owned and operated a Chinese Restaurant, near the base where I was stationed.

HH The Dalai Lama on Ahimsa, 20 sep 2015 at the Coliseum
HH The Dalai Lama on Ahimsa, 20 sep 2015 at the Coliseum
“India, despite its great diversity, maintains a peaceful and harmonious society. Clearly the ancient Indian doctrine of Ahimsa, or nonviolence, has flourished and been adopted as a principle of peaceful coexistence by all faiths. This is a tremendous achievement, and one from which other countries can learn.”
His Holiness the Dalai Lama – BEYOND RELIGION
Tibet House is honoured to host a visit to the UK by His Holiness the Dalai Lama in September. His Holiness has a high respect for India as the quote above from His Holiness's book demonstrates. He acknowledges the central role played by Ahimsa in a peaceful and harmonious society, He is revered as one of the great spiritual leaders of our time, reaching out to people of all faiths.
We are taking this opportunity to organise a talk at the Coliseum Theatre in London on Sunday, 20 September 2015 from 1:30 pm to 3:00 pm.
