Getsulma ordination

Twenty nuns from jangchub choeling nunnery as Tibetan tradition, took an ordination of getsulma as set forth in the Mulasarvativada- Vinaya school of monastic codes from his eminence Jangtse choejey Kyabje Jetsun Lobsang Tenzin Palsangpo, the present Ganden tripa “The holder of Ganden throne” on 5th April,2022 at Ganden trithogkhang.

The getsulma ordination has 36 vows for developing mind. The getsul itself means” the one who’s training in virtuous conduct”. Becoming nun is joining community of sangha. It is to study and practice the teachings of Buddha and share with others.  It is truly meaningful and worthy path to live one’s life being nun. We are fortunate that the Buddha’s initiated tradition of monastic is still alive.

“The purpose of vows is not to restrain oneself, but rather to set up a clearly defined mandala within which one can practice pure Vinaya”
