What is the "Sangha"?

.





QUESTION:
What is the “Sang-ha?”

ANSWER:
The Conventional “Sang-ha” is the community of folks
who are sincerely striving to apply Buddha’s teachings.

However, the Ultimate “Sang-ha” that we take refuge in
{also known as the “Ar-ya Sang-ha”}
are the high Bodhisattvas.

Nope, not so much as “high” in the Cheech and Chong sense…


but spiritually speaking, those who have accomplished the 9th or 10th levels
{or Bhumi in Sanskrit} of Buddha’s ten-level path.

So here’s the deal,
it’s fun to hang out with folks who are striving
to accomplish enlightenment
but it’s best to follow the example and guidance
of those who have actually accomplished the path.
