| 摘要 | A gathering of Buddhist women in Bodhgaya in 1987 saw the establishment of Sakyadhita, a transnational Buddhist women’s organization. Its conveners outlined an ambitious set of objectives, including improved opportunities for women to study dharma and the establishment of a full bhikshuni ordination in the Theravada and Tibetan traditions. Central to Sakyadhita’s mission has been a series of biannual international conferences that provide opportunities for Buddhist women across cultures to come together to share their experiences and learn from each other. The interactions and exchanges that occur at these conferences highlight the issues and concerns the Buddhist women bring to a transnational forum, while also offering insight into the feasibility of Sakyadhita’s purpose. This paper considers that purpose by examining the events of the Sixth International Conference in Nepal in 2000, the Ninth International Conference in Malaysia in 2006, and a related gathering, the First International Buddhist Congress in Hamburg in 2007. Discussion focuses on what these conferences accomplish and the way they have helped Sakyadhita redefine its goals. Special attention is given to Sakyadhita’s continued involvement in the issue of nuns’ ordination. The paper’s conclusions address the challenges a transnational organization like Sakyadhita faces. |
