Sangha

Okay kiddo, have you ever heard the word "sangha"? It's a Buddhist word that means a group of people who share the same beliefs and practice.

Imagine you really love playing baseball, and you join a baseball team. The people on your team all love baseball too, and you all practice together to get better. That's kind of what a sangha is, but for Buddhism.

When people join a sangha, they get to be part of a group of other Buddhists who share the same beliefs and values. They can also practice meditation, learn more about Buddhism, and support each other on their spiritual journeys.

Being part of a sangha is really important to many Buddhists, because it helps them feel connected and supported in their practice. It's like having a big group of friends who all want to help each other be better people!
