sanghamitta

Sanghamitta was the daughter of Emperor Ashoka and sister of Venerable Mahinda. Ashoka was initially reluctant to send his daughter on an overseas mission, but because of the insistence of Sanghamitta herself, he finally agreed. She was sent to Sri Lanka together with several other nuns to start the nun-lineage (Bhikkunis) after some female royalty from Sri Lanka court requested to be ordained as nuns.
