Great Wisdom Buddhist Institute is building the sixteen-year Five Great Treatises curriculum. Many conditions are required for this to happen: guidance from great Buddhist masters, a clear line of lineage of the Buddhist teachings, the desire as a group to learn together, future classes of nuns who want to carry on this curriculum and last but not least, a strong external supportive environment. Where does the strong supportive environment come from? A grand aspiration to support the nuns in this difficult endeavour!
Inconceivable Merits Just By Sincerely Delighting in the Support of Monastics
The merits accumulated from supporting a monastic in studying and practicing Buddhism cannot be described in words. If we truly felt the happiness from monastics studying and practicing Five Great Treatises, the merits received are inconceivable.
The Buddhist Parables: Ananda Retaining Buddha’s Entire Wisdom, Bhikkuni Gotami Offering Golden Clothes to Buddha, Buddha Personally Attending to an Unwell Monastic, have all recorded boundless and astonishing merits from supporting monastics.
Monastics Giving Their All in Studies, Just to Understand the Path of Attaining Buddhahood
Great Wisdom Buddhist Institute nuns spare no effort in overcoming all the challenges faced in their studies. This is the Legend of the Iron Bow: how a novice nun overcame her obstacles when memorizing the 70,000 word treatise “Differentiating Interpretable and Definitive Meanings: The Essence of Eloquence.”
