Fear, Anger, Spiritual Growth & Practice,Equanimity, Non-attachment
This paper explores the emotional experiences of female monks (bhikkhunis) in Buddhism and their evolving role within the tradition. It examines how emotions such as compassion, equanimity, and resilience shape their spiritual practice and societal contributions. The study highlights the challenges faced by female monks in patriarchal religious structures and their efforts to redefine gender roles in Buddhism. Through historical analysis, psychological insights, and contemporary case studies, this paper argues that female monks play a critical role in promoting gender equality and emotional well-being within Buddhist communities. The findings emphasize the importance of recognizing and supporting the emotional and spiritual contributions of bhikkhunis in modern Buddhism.
