Buddhist sanghas
A Buddhist sangha is a community of individuals who practice Buddhism together. It typically includes monks, nuns, and laypeople who come together to support each other in their spiritual journeys. The sangha plays a crucial role in preserving the teachings of the Buddha and providing a space for meditation, learning, and discussion.
Sanghas can vary in size and structure, ranging from small local groups to larger organizations. They often gather for rituals, teachings, and community service, fostering a sense of belonging and shared purpose among members. The sangha is considered one of the Three Jewels of Buddhism, alongside the Buddha and the Dharma.
