i consider myself buddhist and am really interested in the asceticism of monks and i keep thinking to myself if there are any women monks. now i have a limited understanding in the hardcore specifics of it and id like to understand what traditional roles women play in buddhism. i hear women cannot become recognized as buddhas, and im not sure if that is true. so in the end i guess it goes back to the question: what roles do women usually play in buddhism? are there limitations for women in orthodox buddhism and such? and if so what are they?
