| Bauddha Dharmankur Sabha About us |
| (Bengal Buddhist Association) |
| The Bauddha Dharmankur Sabh (Bengal Buddhist Association) was founded in the year 1892 by the Most Ven’ble Kripasaran Mahasthavir to work for the revival and regeneration of Buddhism in the land of its birth. As we all know Buddhism in India had lost its vibrancy due to man made misery and nature’s fury but survived in the lands where it had been taken by King Devanampiya Asoka’s son and daughter Mahinda and Sanghamitra sinc the 3rd century B.C. |
 |
| Seeing the plight of Buddhism, many a luminary of the time felt of a renaissance that inspired Sir Edwin Arnold to write in newspapers exhorting the Buddhists to come forward and start a revival movement. He then wrote his epic poem – the Light of Asia that then saw a young man named Don David Hewawitharana from Sri Lanka come to India who famously came to be known as the Anagarika Dharmapala, established the Maha Bodhi Society of India to work for the revival of India here. It was at the same time a young monk from Chittagong (the then undivided Bengal) arrived here and established the Bauddha Dharmankur Sabha to work for the revival of Buddhism. |
