Merle,
I think, better that we ask questions of the masters, the teachers, rather than
of monastics who do not teach and who are not accustomed to interacting with
lay-people and with non-practitioners.
But I think the novice nun got it right when she answered "Yes", to the
question: "Do you vow to uphold the Precepts, and all the rules of monasticism
of this Sangha?", on the day she was Ordained. I mean, we just have to trust
her. I do.
