Principle and Aim

Since the 18th century, the international Buddhist academia strived to explore the Original Dharma of Indian primitive Buddhism. After two hundred years of continuous efforts, the Buddhist academic community has made many valuable discoveries. Since 2002, Ven. Vūpasama Thero has continued the long-lasting study of the Buddhist academia. In 2018, after 16 years of hard work, he completed the exploration of the Original Dharma, and restored the inheritance of Dharma prior to the division of Buddhism.

The principle of Sambodhi Saṅgha is to believe and practice the Original Dharma collected in the first Buddhist council, protect the scriptures prior to the division of Buddhism, inherit the original teachings of Buddha Śākyamuni, and preserve the Bhikkhu and Bhikkhunī Vinaya lineage that has been lasting for over two thousand years.

The aim of Sambodhi Saṅgha is to promote the Original Dharma, establish the inheritance of Original Buddhism Saṅgha of both Bhikkhu and Bhikkhunī, benefit the improvement and development of the society, and prosper the Buddhism.

Currently, Sambodhi Saṅgha have spread throughout the Chinese communities in Taiwan, mainland China, Malaysia, Singapore and the United States.
