Although Buddhism, in various ways, involves householders and non-spiritual individuals in religious life and the performance of sacred rituals; however, becoming a world-renouncer and having a monastic life, which throughout the history of Buddhism and during the propagation of this religion in different cultures has been a cause of its strength and weakness, is considered the fundamental principle and condition of the Buddhist religion.

Although ِ Buddha initially opposed women becoming nuns, what Buddhist historians emphasize regarding the role of women in Buddhism are the stories told about the lives of great women during the early period of this religion.
