		Bhikshu is a Sanskrit word; it is the technical designation for a fully ordained Buddhist monk, one who leads a pure and celibate life and who upholds the basic 250 monastic regulations (227 in the Theravada tradition).
		Above, a Bhikshu seeks the food of Dharma from all the Buddhas to nourish his Dharma body.
		When Bhikshus seek alms, they make the alms-round in succession, from one house to the next; they can't skip over the poorer families and seek alms from the rich, hoping for better offerings.

	The Present Status of the Bhikshuni Ordination
		However, there are a few historical records of a few bhikshunis in Tibet receiving their ordination from the bhikshu sangha alone, although that never took hold in Tibet.
		The bhikshuni ordination should be given by bhikshunis and bhikshus, and for some time in Chinese history it was given only by the bhikshus.
		The existence of the sangha community of both bhikshus and bhikshunis establishes a place as a "central land," one where the Dharma is flourishing.

		Soon after this a bhikshu, pursuing his regular course of begging his food, entered the gate (of the place).
		When the lictors of the naraka saw him, they were about to subject him to their tortures; but he, frightened, begged them to allow him a moment in which to eat his midday meal.

	Soka Gakkai Dictionary of Buddhism
		The term bhikshu means one who begs, particularly for alms, and generally one who devotes oneself to Buddhist practice and subsists entirely on alms received from laypersons through the practice of alms-begging.
		With the development of the community of monks and the establishment of a system of monastic rules, bhikshu came to refer to only those men who had gained admission into the Buddhist Order by going through an established ordination ceremony.
		In the early period of Buddhism, bhikshus lived alone in forests and other quiet locations, devoting themselves to meditation and other practices.

		And again during the time of the preaching of this holy and fully enlightened Tathagata Lokesvararaja, O Ananda, there was a Bhikshu, Dharmakara by name, richly endowed with memory, with understanding, prudence, and wisdom,--richly endowed with vigour, and of noble character.
		Now, for instance, O Ananda, the Bhikshu Maudgalyayana having obtained miraculous power, might, if he wished, count^41 in one day and night, how many kinds of stars there are in the universal world.
		And let there be reckoning made by those Bhikshus, who are like Maudgalyayana, counting for a hundred thousand nayutas of kotis of years, and yet, as to the mass of water left in the great ocean, it would even then have to be considered as not counted.

	H. H. the Dalai Lama Answers Questions
		If you look at how the bhikshu and bhikshuni precepts work, you will get a better understanding of their purpose.
		Generally speaking, those Buddhist practitioners who are really determined to follow this practice according to the Buddha's guidance of course become sramanera(ika), then bhikshu(ni).
		I feel the real preparation for taking bhikshu or bhikshuni ordination is not the study of the Vinaya, but more meditation about the nature of samsara.
