He explains that in most societies there are few expectations that women "succeed" or achieve great things in their careers. After getting married and having children, they devote themselves to their families. These women have less space to develop themselves than modern nuns, who have the opportunity to improve themselves and serve others.
他解釋：一般社會上，女性比較少被賦予成大功、立大業的期許，結婚生子之後，往往便為家庭貢獻了一切精力，發展的天地可能還不若現代化的尼寺，可有再進修及服務眾生的機會。
