Guild Unification #2.3: What is the Sangha?

This post is going to be about quarrels regarding the Guild (Sangha). Faith in the guild is qualitatively different from faith in the Buddha.

Faith in the Buddha is about faith in his awakening. Faith in the Guild is about faith in the correctness of their spiritual practice (Def #3).

Having faith that the Guild is practicing correctly (or has practiced correctly, as the case may be) will give rise to valor, mindfulness, equilibrium & experience (Prop #3).

Is there any other faith that also has the same nature & quality? Yes.. there is the faith that the Bodhisattvas are practicing correctly. This faith too will give rise to valor, mindfulness, equilibrium & experience.
