A Brief Introduction of Original Buddhism Society
The Sambodhi Saṅgha adheres to the Suttas collected by the First Buddhist Council. It follows the fundamental practice of the Noble Saṅgha before the Buddhist schism, and continues transmitting the Suttas from the ancient tradition of Ānanda lineage and Upāli lineage. The Saṅgha abides by the Vinaya, and reinstates an orthodox Saṅgha that follows the Sutta and Vinaya.
The Saṅgha establishes Original Buddhism Societies in Taiwan, USA, Australia and Malaysia to guide the people to rediscover the Buddha’s path. The societies promote and transmit the true teaching of the Buddha in accordance with Causation and Four Noble Truths. It is Humanistic Buddhism that is applicable to both the mundane and supra-mundane worlds.
The objectives of Original Buddhism Society are to rediscover the Buddha’s original teachings; to support a Saṅgha that abides by the Buddha’s original teaching and Vinaya; to adhere to the Sutta and Vinaya, respect the Saṅgha and unite lay devotees, uphold equal rights in gender and segregate religion from politics.
