In a glossary of Buddhist terms,[8] Richard Robinson et al. define Sangha as:
Sangha. Community. This word has two levels of meaning:
(1) on the ideal (arya) level, it denotes all of the Buddha’s followers, lay or ordained, who have at least attained the level of srotāpanna;
(2) on the conventional (saṃvṛti) level, it denotes the orders of the Bhikṣus and Bhikṣunis.
Mahayana practitioners may use the word "Sangha" as a collective term for all Buddhists, but the Theravada Pāli Canon uses the word pariṣā (Sanskrit pariṣad) for the larger Buddhist community — the monks, nuns, lay men, and lay women who have taken the Three Refuges — with a few exceptions[9]reserving "Sangha" for a its original use in the Pāli Canon — the ideal (arya) and the conventional.[7][10][11]
The two meanings overlap but are not necessarily identical. Some members of the ideal Sangha are not ordained; some monastics have yet to acquire the Dharma-eye.[10]
Unlike the present Sangha, the original Sangha viewed itself as following the mission laid down by the Master, viz, to go forth "…on tour for the blessing of the manyfolk, for the happiness of the manyfolk out of compassion for the world, for the welfare, the blessing, the happiness of deva and men".[

The Sanghas
Explanation:
- When the Buddha moved to Benares the Sangha came into existence, where he sermonized its first sermon to five ascetical friends, who then requested his permission to go forth and be ordained.
- the Buddha looked for his five former companions after the enlightenment, and they agreed with him and became his first follower.
