The Buddhist Sangha is the community of Buddhist monks and nuns who have renounced worldly life to follow the path to enlightenment. A primary function of the members of the Sangha is the preservation, study, practice, and teaching of the Dhamma (Buddha’s teachings). They serve as living examples of the Buddhist path and are responsible for disseminating the Dhamma to lay followers and new members of the community.

– The Sangha is the Buddhist monastic community.
– Its members are monks and nuns.
– A core function is the study, practice, and teaching of the Dhamma.

While Buddhist monasteries often functioned as centers of learning (related to B), their primary educational focus was on religious texts and philosophy.
