The reason for the opposition is: in the early days Taiwan lacked fully qualified bhiksuni, and bhiksuni were only initiated by monks which does not meet the regulations on ordination that require that nuns are initiated by both bhiksuni and bhiksu.
反對的理由是：台灣在早期沒有足夠資格的比丘尼師，比丘尼只從男性大比丘一部受戒，不合於「二部僧」（男女兩部）受戒的規矩。
