Suggested translation: "a large group of monks"
Mandarin: dà bǐqiū zhòng
This expression typically translates Skt. mahat bhikṣu-saṃgha. It has some ambiguity in Chinese because 大 could modify either 比丘 (Skt. bhikṣu) or 眾 (Skt. saṃgha), resulting in "a group of great monks" or "a large group of monks." Both readings are evidenced in exegetical explanations.
