- Exactly Yash! Offering to the Sangha is much more meritorious than offering to a single Bhikkhu. Even Lord Buddha told his adoptive mother that she would get more merit by offering it to the Sangha than to him alone. Read the Dakkhiṇāvibhaṅgasutta. It is not for nothing that it is said that the Sangha is the supreme field of merit. A person who offers to the Sangha with a pure heart and a good understanding of the Dhamma accumulates an immeasurable amount of Kusulas. You can see many arahants recounting how they offered donations in the Sasanas of the past. Read the Thera and Theri Gatha.
