Because Tibetan Buddhism doesn't have a bhiksuni tradition, the Tibetan equivalent to sramanerika do not have the right to speak at the conference. Therefore the Dalai Lama has also invited 15 to 20 bhiksuni from Taiwan to attend the conference and debate with the monks from other nations.
由於藏傳佛教沒有比丘尼傳承，出家的安尼（類似於女性沙彌尼）並無上台發言的資格，於是達賴也將邀請台灣十五到二十位比丘尼一同與會，與各國的比丘和尚辯論。
