Is it unclean for women in Sri Lanka on the Bo courtyard ?
Like every man born into the world, Prince Siddhartha came to life not only from the semen of a man. But also from the intimacy, semen, and an ovum in a man and a woman. The Buddha was a great philosopher born in this world. Prince Siddhartha grew up in the womb of a woman and was born into this world through the vagina of a woman. After the enlightenment of Prince Siddhartha, the first milk offering was made by a woman. The Tooth Relic was brought to this country by a woman.
Prohibition of the upper courtyard for women is not a concept of the Supreme Buddha, but a concept developed by the monks after the Supreme Buddha. This is one example, I found this example in our own home. Our mom and dad tell my brother not to go under my vines. When men go under the vines where women's clothes are worn. One day my brother forgot to go under a vine and beat me to death. He said ‘I forgot that this karma was creeping underneath.’
If a man gets ugly when he goes under a woman's dress or if a woman is inferior then why do men go after women, marry a woman, have sex with a woman? In a country like Sri Lanka, a woman's self-esteem is often challenged by such misconceptions.
Such concepts are largely developed by adults themselves. Every parent must direct their children to society as an intelligent group. Some children understand what is being said and do what is right. But not all children are like that. The world and society are moving.
If a country is to produce an intelligent young generation, parents and elders must be intelligent. Intelligence is not learning. Children, the foundation of the younger generation, the foundation of their parents, the elders. But what about the self-esteem of a woman in Sri Lanka when the attitudes of parents, elders, and temple monks in the society are at such a narrow stage?
