Ceylon Buddhist Association

The Ceylon Buddhist Association, established in the late 19th century in Sri Lanka, aims to promote and preserve Buddhist teachings and culture. It emerged during a time of colonial rule, focusing on Buddhist education, social reform, and the revival of Buddhist practices. The Association has played a significant role in uniting Buddhists across communities, encouraging lay participation in religious activities, and supporting the education of monks and laypeople. It continues to serve as a vital organization for fostering understanding, harmony, and the growth of Buddhism in contemporary society, while also engaging in charitable and social initiatives.
