Course No 1/2020 (Central) on Sangha Nayaka and delivering judgement on disputes involving the ecclesiastic code was concluded yesterday at the Wizaya Mingalar Dhamma Hall at Thiri Mingala Kaba Aye Hill in Yangon.
In his conclusion address, State Sangha Maha Nayaka Committee Chairman Abhidhaja Maharattha Guru Abhidhaja Agga Maha Saddhamma Jotika Bhamo Sayadaw Dr Bhaddanta Kumarabhivamsa urged the trainees to work their best with enthusiastic teaching when they lecture other Sayadaws in multiplier courses in regions and states.
The chairman Sayadaw also called on the trainees for machining arrangements for ensuring that all chairmen Sayadaws of the township, ward/village Sangha Nayaka Committee attend the multiplier courses with the help of local authorities.
The Bhamo Sayadaw also stressed the importance of the digesting the rules and principles of the Sangha Committee to deliver judgement on disputes with monks and monasteries in right way.
The first course on Sangha Nayaka and delivering judgement on disputes involving the ecclesiastic code came after the State Sangha Maha Nayaka Committee considered that Sangha Nayaka committees in regions and states are weak in understanding the rules for solving the cases related to the monks.
“The purpose of the course is to build the capacities of the Sangha Nayaka Sayadaws and Sayadaws who are taking responsibility for delivering judgement on disputes with monks and monasteries, said the chairman Sayadaw in his address at the opening of the course on 3 February.
The similar course was held in 1981 one year after the first Meeting of All Orders in Yangon in 1980 for the Purification, Perpetuation and Propagation of Sasana.
Lectures at the 1981 course were compiled and published as the manual for rules for Sagha Nayaka. The State Sangha Nayaka Committee also ordered directives and approved the Vinaya Manual for judging the disputes. Sangha Nayaka committees
were established at region/state, township, ward/ village levels after the 1980 meeting of the All Orders of the Sangha.
