were unable to bear up with bodily feelings that are painful, severe, sharp, and destructive of life.\nThe nuns of few desires complained and criticized them,\n“How can nuns give the full admission to unmarried women less than twenty years old?” …\n“Is it true, monks, that nuns do this?”\n“It’s true, sir.”\nThe Buddha rebuked them …\n“How can nuns do this?\nAn unmarried woman less than twenty years
