[Bhikkhunī - POSTSCRIPT - Ven. Thanissaro Bhikkhu]

An article recently published by Bhikkhu Anālayo, “The Cullavagga on Bhikkhunī Ordination” (CBO), comments on my recent paper on ordaining bhikkhunīs unilaterally (OBU), in which I had criticized his earlier article, “On the Bhikkhunī Ordination Controversy” (BOC). The comments in CBO do not answer the main criticisms I raised in OBU. In some cases they misrepresent what Bhikkhu Anālayo himself wrote in BOC, and in one case in particular (point 2 below), they actually weaken his argument. So I thought it would be useful to assess his comments in detail, to show exactly why they are not an adequate response to OBU.
