The Buddha has well expounded the dhamma. The dhamma can be realized by personal intuition here and now. Its efficacy is direct and immediate. It is timeless and universal. Any one can come and have it tested by himself. The noble dhamma pervades all over our inner self and leads the way to Nibbana.The noble dhamma (or its spiritual
truth) is to be realised only by the wise.

Members of the sangha are the noble disciples of Buddha.
They practise the Buddha dhamma properly, keeping their mind, body and speech
well guarded.

The noble sangha originally comprising eight by number and four by pair must be invited even from abroad for people pay homage and offer alms.
They deserve gift’s reserved for guests.
They deserve special alms and worship, for they are fertile soil for
the people to sow their seeds of merit.
