The Sangha, the Buddhist Monastic Order, is the longest continuously existing organisation or association in the history of mankind. It has operated according to the same 'constitution' ('Vinaya') since it's foundation by the Buddha himself.
On occasion of finally receiving a visiting senior monks again, after a long time, Ajahn Dhammasiha talks about how important regular contact, meeting and communal harmony are for the strength and longevity of the sangha (monastic order of monks and nuns). Similarly, hard work in establishing and maintaining the infrastructure of monasteries is an important factor for the Sāsanā to thrive.www.dhammagiri.netwww.youtube.com/channel/UCJINt0JJBfFm_x0FZcU9QJwwww.tinyletter.com/dhammagiri/archive
