Together with 500 women from the Sakya clan\, she requested to be ordained into the Sangha. Initially\, the Buddha refused her request\, concerned about the challenges women might face as monastics. \nVen. Ananda Thera\, the Buddha's attendant and one of his closest disciples\, intervened. He respectfully questioned the Buddha: were women capable of achieving the same spiritual attainments (enlightenment\, arahantship) as men if ordained? \nThe Buddha confirmed that women were indeed capable of reaching the highest spiritual goals. Following this\, the Buddha permitted the ordination of women. \nMahāpajāpati Gotami and her companions became the first Bhikkhunis (nuns). With their ordination\, the Fourfold Sangha was completed: Bhikkhus (monks)\, Bhikkhunis (nuns)\, Upasakas (laymen) and Upasikas (laywomen). This was a groundbreaking step in religious history\, affirming the role of women in spiritual life. \nThe Bhikkhuni Order flourished in India and Sri Lanka for many centuries. Sri Lanka\, in particular\, became a center of Bhikkhuni training. Sri Lankan nuns later helped re-establish the order in other countries.
