Join Us as the Sanghāta is Recited Again on Vulture's Peak
On March 14, 2006, the Sanghata will be recited on the very spot where in India where it was first uttered by the Buddha: at Vulture's Peak itself, in Raja-griha. We invite you to join us to contribute your own voice wherever you are, as a group of pilgrims brings the words of the Buddha back to the very place from which they were first released on this earth. For more information on this and other Global Sanghata Recitation Days in 2006,

In the Words of the Sanghāta: 
The Sangháta manifests, out of kindness,

even bodies of buddhas.

As many grains of sand as the Ganges
holds,

in just that many forms it teaches.

It teaches in the form of a Buddha.

It teaches even the essence of Dharma.

Who wishes to see a Buddha,

Sangháta is equivalent to a Buddha.

Wherever the Sangháta is,

always there the Buddha is.

-  Ārya Sanghāta Sūtra
