尼羯磨 1.72

1.72

“Suṇātu me ayye saṃgho! I, bhikṣuṇī so-and-so, make a request to the saṃgha to ordain someone and grant her upasampadā. May the saṃgha permit me, bhikṣuṇī so-and-so, to ordain someone and grant her upasampadā.” (To be said three times. The saṃgha should observe this person: if she is unable to give instruction, and unable to guide her in the two years of training in the precepts and support her through the two dharmas, they should say to her, “Sister! Stop; do not ordain anyone.” If she possesses wisdom and is able to instruct, guide her in the two years of training in the precepts, and support her through the two dharmas, it should be performed in this way:)
