The term is used to refer to any Theravada monks not within the Dhammayuttika Nikaya, the other principal monastic order. The Maha Nikaya is the largest order of Theravada Buddhism in Thailand and Cambodia, in Thailand taking up over 90% of the Buddhist monks in the country. History After the founding of the Dhammayuttika Nikāya by the then-monk Prince Mongkut in 1833, decades later all recognized monks not ordained in the Dhammayuttika order were considered to be part of the ''maha nikāya'', the "great collection" of those outside the new Dhammayuttika fraternity.

There were in reality hundreds of different Nika ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
