	Britain.tv Wikipedia - Sangha
		In a stricter sense, sangha can mean the assembly of all beings possessing some high degree of realization, referred to as the arya-sangha or noble sangha.
		The sangha of monks and the sangha of nuns were originally established by Gautama Buddha in the 5th century BCE, with the goal preserving the teachings, reinforcing discipline, and serving as an example for the laity.
		Within Chinese society, as an example, members of the Sangha are expected to renounce family connections and accept the Sangha as their family.

		However, since the Sangha River region is among the last colonized regions of Africa, the scale and the locations of these exploitations were limited.
		As a result of international conservation efforts, a complex of trans-boundary protected areas were established in the early 1990s, including the Dzanga-Ndoki National Park and Dzanga-Sangha Special Reserve in the Central African Republic (1990), the Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park in the Republic of Congo (1993), and Lake Lobeké National Park in Cameroon (2001).
		Although the nature of timber harvest in the region is selective (high-grading vs. complete forest clearing), its negative impacts are still alarming.

	TEMPLE OF ZOROASTER (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Having received a vision from Ahura Mazda, the Wise Lord, who appointed him to preach the truth, Zoroaster apparently was opposed in his teachings by the civil and religious authorities in the area in which he preached.
		It is not clear whether these authorities were from his native region or from Chorasmia prior to the conversion of Vishtaspa.
		Confident in the truth revealed to him by Ahura Mazda, Zoroaster apparently did not try to overthrow belief in the older Iranian religion, which was polytheistic; he did, however, place Ahura Mazda at the centre of a kingdom of justice that promised immortality and bliss.

	News: Congo, Congo: Isolated Sangha region falls off the map
		About a decade ago, the Pikounda region along the Sangha River, a tributary of the Congo River, was visited regularly by shuttles chartered by Agence Transcongolaise des Communications (ATC), a parastatal transport company.
		This has hampered initiatives to curb the spread of the pandemic, and although the HIV prevalence rate for the region is estimated at 3.9 percent, experts fear it could climb.
		But with no antiretroviral treatment available in Sangha, it would be pointless for people to know their status, he added.

	SOUTHWEST INSIGHT E'LETTER SEPTEMBER- 2002
		When I noticed Marcia Rose, of the Taos Mountain Sangha, announced a September 11th sit, as a memorial observance, I was inspired to provide a meditation sit for my local sangha as well.
		Or, if you find yourself unable to sit with a sangha that day, then perhaps you might find any moment that day to sit in silence and communion with the idea of world peace, which of course begins with each and everyone of us.
		Sunrise Sangha is an eclectic sangha open to all Vipassana, Zen, Theravadan, Advaita, etc. After sitting we meet at the Duck & Decanter for coffee.

	Going Forth - The Benefits of Rabjung
		Originally, of course, the central land was considered to be the region near Bodhgaya and places, such as Kashmir and Tibet, were the outlying places.
		So by taking ordination from a proper teacher, for example the Dalai Lama, and living purely as a member of the Sangha, there is great hope, indeed, of our becoming one of the direct followers of Maitreya when he turns the wheel of Dharma in our world, in fulfilment of that promise.
		All Buddhists in this lifetime, lay people as well as Sangha, are, as it were, indirect followers of Shakyamuni Buddha because we are unable to meet him face to face.
