The first sangha, or Buddhist monastic community, was established shortly after the Buddha's enlightenment around the 5th century BCE. It was set up to provide a supportive environment for practitioners to follow the Buddha's teachings, engage in meditation, and cultivate ethical conduct. The sangha served as a means to preserve and disseminate the Buddha's teachings while fostering a communal approach to spiritual development.
