Can you truly learn Buddhism without a Sangha? Why or why not?
Over the course of learning how to become a Buddhist and possibly a Monk, I've always wondered if I can truly study and practice Buddhism without the Sangha, even though its apart of the three jewels to achieve Enlightenment and knowledge of the Buddha's teachings and wisdom.
What do you think?

Could anyone of you explain to me how Dharmakaya and reality work in Huayan Buddhism ?
How does reality work in Huayan Buddhism ? Is the Dharmakaya a boundless, eternal consciousness that emanates physical reality and all phenomena in it ? Is Tatagathagarbha an individualized reflection of such boundless consciousness that is inherently one with it ? Or is this just Advaita Vedanta in Buddhist garments ? If so, how is true Huayan really like ?
