Sangha
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
Sangha, or theros, are the monks who follow the path which Buddha has told. They spend a kind of different life from other ordinary buddhists and are respected from buddhists. The first sanghas were the Pancha Vaggiya theros who have listened to the first damma speech of lord buddha which is named as "Dammachakkapavaththana Suthra".They became Arhath(desire less)by listening to the "Anantha lakkana Suthra".Sanghas have become more common after then.Because Lord buddha has given the power to every sangha to make another man a sangha with his desire to be.This was not an simple task. Conversion for a man to be a sangha had many rules and conditions.
