{{short description|Type of Buddhist renunciant in Sri Lanka}}
A '''dasa sil mata''' (Sinhala: දස සිල් මාතා ) is an [[Eight Precepts|Eight-]] or [[Samanera#Ten_precepts|Ten Precepts]]-holding [[anagarika|anagārikā]] (lay renunciant) in [[Buddhism in Sri Lanka]], where the newly reestablished [[bhikkhuni]] (nun's) lineage is not officially recognized yet.

The status of dasa sil matas is in between an ordinary [[Upāsaka and Upāsikā|upāsikā]] (laywoman) and a fully ordained bhikkhuni. They are usually expected to work in [[vihara]]s, essentially as maids to ordained [[bhikkhu]]s, rather than receiving training and the opportunity to practice. However, some dasa sil matas have struggled and managed to establish monasteries of their own, where women have the opportunity devote themselves to spiritual training and practice.

In [[Buddhism in Cambodia|Cambodia]], Sri Lanka and [[Buddhism in Myanmar|Myanmar]], they have established monasteries for anagārikās. Similar orders exist in [[Buddhism in Thailand|Thailand]], Cambodia and in Myanmar.

In Thailand, where it is illegal for a woman to take a bhikkhuni ordination, they are called [[maechi]]. In Cambodia, they are called [[donchee]]s. In Burma, an eight precept nun is addressed as [[thilashin]] or sayalay, whereas a fully ordained woman is called a ''rahan-ma'' ("female monk").<ref name="rahan-ma1">{{cite web
