India have many religions. Buddhism is one of the biggest religion in India. Many countries had been being Buddhist countries such as Thailand, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, China, etc. and Nowadays, Buddhism had spread to Australia, America, Europe, ect. . We can say that Buddhism had become a international religion in the world. Everyone did know that Buddhism came from India. So Indian Buddhism was really original Buddhism and Buddhism was a Buddhist country in the Mauryan dynasty, particular in the Ashoka king`s times. However, nowadays Indian Buddhism is a small number in India, about 0,7 % of Indian population. Therefore, nobody knew who are the representatives of Indian Buddhism, Indian Sangha and where they are ,etc. . These are reasons that we would like to organise Buddhist Congregation of India. It will be a official organisation that is representatives of Buddhism and Sangha community in India. Indian goverment, foreigner country can know us and contact us through Buddhist Congregation of India. Particular, we will be a membership of International Buddhist council. Besides, our congregation aims as following:
1 - BCI set up Sangha community more properly and stronger. All Buddhist Monks gather together, cooperate together, help each other and live harmony in Sangha community. Then Sangha community will be stronger and stronger. Monk is a member of Sangha community. So, monks should live harmony in Sangha community. If you live separately. You are not Buddhist Sangha.
2 – BCI will organise the Sila transmittion ceremony for Sangha.
