Summary:	This critical edition introduces the Tibetan texts and their English translations of two important chapters in the Tibetan Mūlasarvāstivādavinaya: the Chapter on Mahāprajāpatī Gautamī (Mahāprajāpatīgautamīvastu) and the Manual for Buddhist Nuns’ Ordination (Bhikṣuṇyupasaṃpadājñapti). Based on the presented materials, the author discusses ways in which the nuns’ ordination in the Tibetan tradition—from which full ordination for women has been absent for centuries—may be legitimately reinstated. This is a concern Carola Roloff has been supporting for more than two decades. Her edition and exegesis of the Tibetan texts and their Sanskrit parallels constitute a solid foundation for discussing why the Mūlasarvāstivāda bhikṣuṇī lineage should be re-established and how concrete steps in that direction may look like.
