The Amarapura–Rāmañña Nikāya () is the larger of the two Buddhist monastic orders () 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, which had been in the works for a number of years. Koṭugoḍa Dhammāvāsa Thera notably underscored that there was no need to maintain two separate orders.
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.
