Sutton: Privatising Bin Collections (2.4.2017)

The Chinese Buddhist monastic community is referred to as a ‘Sangha’ (Sanskrit for ‘spiritual community’), whereby men and women form a voluntary association premised upon following a strict set of rules known as the ‘Vinaya Discipline’.

As those with little experience have less to share, they are not considered leaders whilst more experienced practitioners live in the vicinity.
