This month, RamaDBK is sponsoring the commemoration of the 150th anniversary of Sri Lankan national hero Anagarika Dhamapala in Chiba prefecture, East of Tokyo.
The event will take place in the city of Katori, Chiba prefecture, in the Lankaji temple, on Sunday, July 20th 2014, with the presence of the Ambassador of Sri Lanka. Buddhist devotional songs will be sung between 2.00 and 3.00 in the afternoon.
Anagarika Dharmapala is a famous Buddhist revivalist and writer who has worked all his life for the revival of Buddhism in India and for the liberation of Sri Lanka from the British colonial rule. He is also the first person to have preached Buddhism on three continents: Asia, Europe and North America. Anagarika Dharmapala has made a major contribution to the rejuvenation of Buddhism in Sri Lanka and to the constitution of the Ceylonese nationalism.
