The Alliance for Bhikkhunis Mission Statement

For those who haven’t visited the Alliance for Bhikkhunis website to read the mission statement, here it is:

Mission Statement

* To work diligently toward the establishment of a thriving Theravada bhikkhuni sangha in the U.S. and abroad.

* To encourage the emergence of bhikkhuni Dhamma teachers and support them as they enter communities new to the Buddha’s teachings.

* To develop community-based viharas which address the practical and spiritual needs of families and individuals, enabling lay practitioners to integrate the Dhamma into every facet of their life.

As can be seen, there is nothing in it about either lay or monastic men, or about how good or bad they are.
