The Sangha Supreme Council of Thailand (
Thai: มหาเถรสมาคม;
Pali: Mahāthera Samāgama; abbreviated SSC) is the governing body of the Buddhist order (
Sangha) of
Thailand, and is the ultimate authority for all ecclesiastical matters within the Thai Sangha.[1] Its leadership consists of the country's highest ranking monks, who consult the
Supreme Patriarch of Thailand with respect to administrative and theological matters.[2][3][4] The Sangha Supreme Council was established on 1 January 1963, under the Sangha Act of 1962.[2][5]
