Bhikkhunis, Butlers, & Card-Carrying Sotāpannas: A Non-PC Tour of Dhamma Diversity | Ajahn Munissara
In this talk, Ajahn Munissara describes the power of diversity in Dhamma communities and teachers, particularly in elevating female articulations which have been absent for so much of Buddhist history. She speaks about the fragility of unawakened views, the power of remaining open to other articulations of truth, the history of the bhikkhuni order, and also the Dhamma of butlers!
