Buddhist community
A Buddhist community, often referred to as a Sangha, consists of individuals who practice Buddhism together. This community can include monks, nuns, and laypeople who share a commitment to the teachings of Buddha. Members support each other in their spiritual journeys through meditation, study, and communal activities.
Buddhist communities can be found worldwide, with various traditions such as Theravada, Mahayana, and Vajrayana. Each tradition has its own practices and rituals, but all emphasize the importance of compassion, mindfulness, and ethical living. These communities often gather for ceremonies, teachings, and retreats, fostering a sense of belonging and shared purpose.
