In Buddhism, female Monks are called 'Bhikkhuni' The name bhikkhuni refers to a fully ordained Buddhist nun i.e. a woman who has taken higher ordination (upasampada) in the Buddhist monastic community. Bhikkhunis of the Theravada tradition observe the 311 precepts. They live a simple life, equal to that of a bhikkhu or monk, but quite different from that of other women. A bhikkhuni wears orange robes, shaves her head, lives near the Sangha (a monastic commnuity), learns and practises the Buddha's teaching and listens to Dhamma talks every 15 days.
