| Jul 6, 2014 at 14:23 | comment | added | MatthewMartin | I started to research this and discovered this question is overly broad. For each country and each sect of Buddhism, the story is different. Were this question about Catholicism, it would have a short, reasonable answer. In Buddhism, this is a veritable book of census data. | |

| Jul 2, 2014 at 3:45 | comment | added | neubau | As the wiki page on ordination of women says, it's a lapsed tradition in Theravada countries. That page states that there are more than 20 in Thailand, but "Thailand's two main Theravada Buddhist orders, the Mahanikaya and Dhammayutika Nikaya, have yet to officially accept fully ordained women into their ranks." So the percentage is tiny, basically. | |
