Buddhist Community

The Buddhist community, or Sangha, is a spiritual family of individuals who follow the teachings of the Buddha. It typically includes monks and nuns who dedicate their lives to practice and preserve these teachings, as well as lay practitioners who adopt Buddhist principles in daily life. The Sangha provides mutual support, guidance, and a shared pursuit of insight, ethical conduct, and compassion. It fosters a sense of connection and collective effort toward enlightenment, serving as a vital pillar in maintaining and spreading Buddhism's philosophy across diverse cultures and communities.
