TheAmarapura–Rāmañña Nikāya (Sinhala:අමරපුර–රාමඤ්ඤ සාමග්රී මහා සංඝ සභාව,romanized: Amarapura–Rāmañña Sāmagrī Mahā Saṁgha Sabhāva) is the larger of the twoBuddhistmonastic orders (Pali:nikāya) inSri Lanka, the other being theSiyam Nikāya.
The order came into existence on August 16, 2019 through the union of theAmarapura Nikāya andRāmañña 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]
Siri Kalyāṇī Yogassama Santhā, an independent division of the Amarapura–Rāmañña Nikāya, is currently the largest body of forestmonks andnuns in Sri Lanka.[4]
