• Bhikkhunī Sutta

1. Bhikkhunī Sutta. The same as Bhikkhu Sutta (2), substituting "nun" for "monk." S. ii.261.

2. Bhikkhunī Sutta. Once a nun, being enamoured of Ananda, sent a message asking him to visit her, saying that she was ill. Ananda came and preached to her on the body, how food should be taken only to sustain it, how craving for food should be abandoned together with pride and desire for sexual relations. The nun was overcome with shame at her intended deception and, falling at Ananda's feet, begged his forgiveness. A.ii.144f.
