Dignity and Discipline: Reviving Full Ordination for Buddhist Nuns, edited by Thea Mohr and Jampa Tsedroen, Wisdom Publications 2010, is a scholarly edited volume examining the movement to restore full ordination for Buddhist nuns across traditions. Its strength is that it gathers contributions from scholars and practitioners engaged directly with the ordination lineages in question, published by an established Buddhist studies press. Its limit is that it is an edited volume advocating for a specific reform, so it should be read alongside sources representing the traditions that resist the change.
