is the Bhikshuni Sangha. (3) It is the Śikṣamāṇā vow, which is based on the precepts of a Śrāmaṇerikā and studies the six root dharmas and the six conforming dharmas. (4) If one is married, it should be given when one is ten years old or older; if one is not married, it should be given when one is eighteen years old or older.
