'''Sangha''' (Skt. ''saṅgha''; Tib. [[དགེ་འདུན་]], ''gendün''; [[Wyl.]] ''dge 'dun'') is the term for the community of practitioners who are following the [[Buddha]]'s teachings. According to the [[Mahayana]] teachings, the sangha that is included within the [[Three Jewels]] as an object of [[refuge]] is the noble sangha, i.e., those who have reached the [[path of seeing]] and beyond.

==Etymology==
The Tibetan word for sangha is དགེ་འདུན་, ''gendün'' (Wyl. ''dge 'dun''), which signifies those who aspire to or yearn for (འདུན་, ''dün'') virtue (དགེ་, ''gé''). Khenpo Ngakchung explains that virtue here refers to the [[Three higher trainings|threefold training]] in [[discipline]], [[meditation]] and [[wisdom]].
