Sangha Dana can be separated into two words: 'Sangha' and 'Dana,'with the following meanings:
• Sangharefers to a group of monks, consisting of two or more monks.
• Dana meansgiving, sharing, or offering material goods and necessities with pureintention.
When combined, 'Sangha Dana' means offering necessities to agroup of monks without specifying any particular monk. The Buddha praisedSangha Dana as bringing great merit, as it reflects the principle ofnon-discrimination in giving.
What Should a Modern Sangha Dana Include? What Should Be Offered?
Items in a Sangha Dana set shouldconsist of the four necessities required for a monk's life. These can be eitherconsumables or utilities that do not violate monastic rules. The advantage isthat we can check expiration dates and select high-quality items that are trulyuseful to the monks, ensuring they are appropriate and practical."
