Do you think it would have been easy for slaves to join the sangha? Give reasons for your answer.​

Answer 1

Answers

we must have been very difficult for slaves to join the sangha. According to the rules; a slave needed to take permission from his/her master for joining the sangha. But a slave was never in a position to assert his right.

Answer 2

Answer:

Yes, I think it would have been easy for slaves to join the sangha. Because Buddha favoured and stressed equality of human beings. Moreover, some slaves were very good at their work and performed many useful services for the people of sanghas.
