| Additionally, in Buddhism it was originally prohibited for priests or priestess (except Buddha) to make a member of the opposite sex enter the Buddhist priesthood as a disciple (in order to avoid the ruination of the priest who would have his mistress around him as a disciple). |
また、仏教では、本来（破戒僧が自分の愛人を出家させて身辺に置くことを防ぐため）仏陀を除く出家者は異性の出家者を弟子として得度することは禁じられている。 |
