The Noble Sangha (Ariya Sangha) -the community of the noble ones or of Buddha's true disciples. 2. The conventional Sangha -the order of fully ordained monks and nuns. In principle, the conventional Sangha includes bhikkhunisthat is, fully ordained nuns -but in Theravada countries the full ordination lineage for women has become defunct, though there continue to exist independent orders of nuns. 6. To abstain from eating (taking solid food) at the wrong time (from midday to next dawn). 7. To abstain from singing, dancing, musical instruments and unsuitable shows. 8. To abstain from using ornaments, scents, garlands and perfumes that beautify a person. 9. To abstain from using high or luxurious seat and bed. 10. To abstain from accepting gold or silver or money.
