About The Book

Although small, Sri Lanka is a developing country that supports Buddhism on five continents with numerous projects, such as preserving and learning many scriptures in Pali. The preservation of the Pali Canon alone stands unparalleled as a unique Sri Lankan contribution to the global spread of Buddhism.

When it comes to the worldwide dissemination of Buddhism, Sri Lanka has assumed a pivotal role unmatched by any other Buddhist nation. Sri Lankan Buddhism has exerted significant influence as a formidable presence in religious, political, and social spheres. It began in India, traversed through its birthplace, and subsequently flourished in Sri Lanka and numerous locations across the US and the world.
