AbstractLuminary order is a well-respected Buddhist nuns' order in Taiwan. In this essay,I will examine the phenomenon of Luminary nuns from three aspects:symbol,structure,and education. Through the examination of the three aspects, I will show why the phenomenon of Luminary nuns might be seen as a feminist movement. Although an active agent in many aspects, I will also show that the success of Luminary nuns has its roots in the social,historical,and economic conditions in Taiwan.
