“The Sangha community relies on vinaya to exist; the existence of Dharma is relies on the existence of Sangha.” “Sangha” is a Sanskrit word which means “harmonious community,” It refers to a community of monastics who live together in harmony and observes the Buddhadharma. All afflictions eradicated and the truth which realized by everyone are all the same and are no different. Every member of the community speaks, acts, and thinks by observing six essential requirements with harmony and no dispute.
