Abstract
Sangha denotes both the whole Buddhist community, all who take ref uge in the Three Jewels, and the monastic part of that community. Together, with special symbolic power deriving from the monastic community, lay Buddhists, monks, and nuns have contributed to social peace by embodying values counter to samsaric culture-ways of discipline and nonviolence opposing karmic ways of selfishness and grasping. The Buddhist teachings about chastity (one of the five precepts of core Buddhist ethics, which we consider in Chapter 6) are a good ex ample of how the sangha has made its social mark.
