Venerable Kieu Dam Di - ni was the first leader in Buddhist history.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.

Bhikkhu ni Dai Ai Dao, ie diaspora Kieu Dam Di, more than ninety years old, entered Nirvana, was the first nun in the Buddhist history, the time of Buddha was still alive.

After renunciation, ordained monks and nuns, Mrs. Kieu Dam Di had the name Ma-ha-Bahadana (Mahaprajapati), which translates into Chinese as the Great Abhidharma. She respectfully practiced the Buddha's teachings. For everyone, she no longer thought that she was the queen of the Ca-Bhikkhu-la-guard, and did not rely on that of the Buddha. She was always humble, diligent, enthusiastic about everything.

After being ordained, she was assigned to lead the nuns. The elders in the Sangha also respect her very much.

Bhikshuni Shakyamuni has just contributed to teaching the nuns, doing charity work with the poor people. With the sick or the victims of flood disasters, she happily visited and reliefed. She often advised adolescents to regularly attend conferences to study the Dharma. In addition, she encouraged people to take refuge in the Three Jewels to make life better. Thanks to her counsel, many families return to rely on the Three Jewels, to have a happy life.

Venerable Kieu Dam Di and Buddha

Despite the veneration of the nunnery leader, she did not have the arrogance and contempt. For new monks, she brought to monks to ask for ordination.

Bhikkhu and nuns Dai Ai Dao led the nunnery, but she and the nuns also did not arbitrarily take them, not arbitrarily go for alms. Their clothes unify one color, one type, when they go they do not go alone, go far away on their hands without carrying a row full of furniture, do not contact back and forth with lay people or stay at home ... All The above, the nuns all follow the precepts, practice seriously.

The Great Enlightenment is worthy of being the first Bhikkhu, worthy of being the leader of the nunnery. Accepting for the monk, the Blessed One hoped that the monks could learn the virtue of the Great Monk Bhikkhu and make the Buddha's teachings not be eroded.         

Bhikshuni Bhikkhu Aunti is more than ninety years old to enter Nirvana. At that time, the Buddha stood in front of the assembly saying that she was:      

- Hey monks! You should not underestimate the Great Shakyamuni Bhikkhu as a woman. Although being a female body but having a macho character, is a person of great virtue, worthy of being an example for the Sangha tomorrow.

The Buddha before the congregation praised the virtues of Bhikshuni Bhikshuni and cultivated, especially the mirror of the Dharma. END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.GOLDEN  AMITABHA MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.3/3/2019.
