Celebrating the Sanghāta's Emergence on the Internet
This website had its official launch on October 17, a full moon day with a lunar eclipse. On this highly auspicious day, Buddhists in over 80 separate locations worldwide recited the Sanghāta Sūtra, to celebrate the launch of this site and generate extensive merit! To see who recited, view our Global Sangata Satellite Map, by clicking here.
In the Words of the Sanghāta: 
The Sanghāta teaches, out of kindness,

even through the bodies of buddhas.

As many grains of sand as the Ganges holds,

in just that many forms it teaches.

-  Ārya Sanghāta Sūtra
