ISSN 0875-1996, p.5〕 to Voramai Kabilsingh and Kokiat Shatsena. Her mother, Voramai, also called Ta Tao Fa Tzu (d. 2005), was ordained as in a Dharmaguptaka lineage in Taiwan in 1971 - the first modern Thai bhikkhuni - and returned to turn the family home into Songdhammakalyani Monastery.〔Christopher S. Queen, Sallie B. King 〕 ''Songdhammakalyani'' means “temple where women uphold the Dharma” and it is located in Nakhon Pathom near Bangkok.〔Prof Jan Willis: (Building a Place for the Theris )〕 Chatsumarn received Buddhist instruction and training along with the nuns.〔Chatsumarn Kabilsingh. Thai Women in Buddhism. Berkeley, CA: Parallax Press, 1991. Preface.〕 She says that her father, Kokiat, was "the first Thai man I knew who strongly supported the revival of the ''Bhikkhuni Sangha'' in Thailand."〔Chatsumarn Kabilsingh. Thai Women in Buddhism. Berkeley, CA: Parallax Press, 1991. Dedication.〕 Unusual for Thai women, Chatsumarn received a higher education. After high school, she received her B.A. in Philosophy from Visva Bharati University, her M.A. in Religion from McMaster University in Canada, and her Ph.D. in Buddhism from Magadh University in India.〔http://www.buddhanet.net/pdf_file/bhikkhuni_patimokkha.pdf〕 She married, has three sons and three grandchildren.

She has often said that she knew she would become a monastic in the Buddhist tradition at some point in her life; she was just waiting for the right time. That time came in 2000 when she took early retirement from Thammasat University and received the bodhisattva's precept from the Fo Guang Shan order in Taiwan. In 2001, she took her sāmaṇerī ordination in Sri Lanka from R. Saddha Sumana Bhikkhuni and T. Dhammaloka Bhikkhu. In 2003, she was ordained a full bhikkhuni in Sri Lanka, the first Thai woman to be ordained in a Theravada monastic lineage, as Dhammananda.〔 Her ordination lineage is Syamopali from Dambulla chapter. She current resides at the Songdhammakalyani Monastery in the Muang District, Nakhonpathom province, Thailand.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Buddhist eLibrary :: Profile - Chatsumarn Kabilsingh Ph.D. )〕 Since her ordination, Dhammananda has written several books, designed to educate the public about various issues related to Thai Buddhism, including the place of women.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dhammananda Bhikkhuni」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
