Mahasammata

Mahasammata, in Buddhist tradition, refers to the concept of the "Supreme Person" or "Great Person." This term is often associated with the founding of social structures or governance, suggesting that the first ruler or leader emerged through collective agreement among people. In this context, Mahasammata embodies ideals of wisdom, virtue, and the responsibility of leadership. This figure is seen as both a protector and a moral guide for the community, symbolizing the importance of shared values and cooperation in establishing order and harmony in society.
