INTRODUCTION
In the Theravàda tradition the lineage of bhikkhunis died out some thousand years ago. Present day attempts to revive this lineage meet with opposition. In what follows I examine arguments raised by opponents to the revival of bhikkhuni ordination. I begin with the legal aspect, followed by taking up the question whether a revival of an order of bhikkhunis is desirable.
