BUDDHISM IN CEYLON

ITS PAST AND ITS PRESENT

H.R.PERERA

 

PREFACE

The present treatise, Buddhism in Ceylon, its Past and Present, dealing with the history of Buddhism in this Island, from the time of its introduction in 250 B.C in the reign of King Devanampiya Tissa, up to present times (1966), is the outcome of an attempt to revise Dr. W.A de Silva`s monograph entitled ‘History of Buddhism in Ceylon `appearing in Buddhistic Studies` of Dr. B.C. Law (Calcutta, 1931). It should be mentioned, with due respect to the great scholar and national leader that several of the chapters of his monograph have been reproduced here while many have been revised and enlarged. A few new chapters too have been added where it was deemed necessary.

The author`s and the publishes` thanks are due to Messrs. Thacker, Spink & Co., Calcutta, the publishers of ‘Buddhistic Studies`, for their kind permission to make use of Dr.W.A.de Silva`s Article.

The relevant mater rom these numerous woks has been synthetised to give the reader a basic knowledge of the history of Buddhism in Ceylon from the earliest time up to the present. It is hoped that this book will serve this purpose, especially to these who wish to gain this knowledge by reading a single, short treatise.
