Spiritual Community of the True Followers of the Path shown by The Awakened One
Spiritual Community
In the suttas Spiritual Community is usually used in one of two ways: it refers either to the community of ordained True Followers of the Path shown by The Awakened One or to the community of “noble ones”β persons who have attained at least stream-entry, the first stage of Awakening.
The definition Noble Ones
“The Spiritual Community of the Blessed One’s disciples who have practiced well… who have practiced straight-forwardly… who have practiced methodically… who have practiced masterfully β in other words, the four types [of noble disciples] when taken as pairs, the eight when taken as individual types β they are the Spiritual Communityof the Blessed One’s disciples: worthy of gifts, worthy of hospitality, worthy of offerings, worthy of respect, the incomparable field of merit for the world.”
