The Amarapura–Rāmañña Nikāya (Sinhala: අමරපුර–රාමඤ්ඤ සාමග්‍රී මහා සංඝ සභාව, romanized: Amarapura–Rāmañña Sāmagrī Mahā Saṁgha Sabhāva) is the larger of the two Buddhist monastic orders (Pali: nikāya) in Sri Lanka, the other being the Siyam Nikāya.

History

The order came into existence on August 16, 2019 through the union of the Amarapura Nikāya and Rāmañña Nikāya,[1][2] which had been in the works for a number of years.[3] Koṭugoḍa Dhammāvāsa Thera notably underscored that there was no need to maintain two separate orders.[3]

Forest monasticism

Siri Kalyāṇī Yogassama Santhā, an independent division of the Amarapura–Rāmañña Nikāya, is currently the largest body of forest monks and nuns in Sri Lanka.[4]
