Buddhist Studies - Anagarika Dharmapala, A Duc Vuong of Sri Lanka. . ANAGARIKA DHARMAPALA ACHIEVEMENT OF LAN AREA Anagarika Dharmapala Venerable appeared as a shining star in Sri Lankan history because of the zealous and sincere service to the land of India dear and human. It is like Aoka Wang, the life of the great virtue is also guided by the humanitarian spirit. In the 3rd century before the Western calendar, Ashoka expanded Buddhism throughout India, Sri Lanka and the world by his missionaries, in our time. Venerable Dharmapala also did a great job of benefiting mankind as a revival of Buddhism and Buddhist culture in India, Sri Lanka, many decadent Asian Buddhist nations, and the prevailing Western nations. God. The prosperity of civilizations is a natural thing in history. So the period from the 3rd century to the early 12th century to the 12th century after the Western calendar, can be seen as the golden peak period of Indian Buddhism, Sri Lanka. But from the 12th century after God, these civilizations began to degenerate. And by the 16th century, when the Portuguese, German and British people invaded Asia, these civilizations almost fell into decline. This foreign domination destroyed the nation's traditional culture and the missionaries of God were able to rapidly develop in these countries in Asia. Many schools of God were founded by the church of God. A large number of Buddhist children are required to attend these schools and Buddhists are inevitably forced to go to church. In addition, people still use economic pressure to encourage Buddhists to enter the religion. It was such a humiliating period, the period when the Buddha's children felt scared whenever they identified themselves as Buddhists and the pathetic Buddhist culture. It was in the midst of Sri Lankan encounters with this national turn, a child of the rich family Sinhalese was born in Colombo (Sri Lanka) to become a great man later, instructing his people to restore their culture and morality. noble tradition of the country. The child was named David Hewavitharne and later brought the name Anagarika Dharmapala, born on September 17, 1864, and died on September 27, 1934.David Hewavitharne was educated in the Sinhalese culture, built on the basis of Buddhist humanity. His devotion to the dharma of his parents trained him to acquire the traditional taste, which was the heritage of his people more than 2,500 years ago.Mirroring two births, he lives daily to take refuge in Buddha, Dharma, Increase and preserve the five prohibition years according to the custom of the people. The number of lives he gave birth to became a noble character and a zealous disciple of the Buddha. Instead of following the temptations of modern society, he lived a clean and simple life, away from sinful and unwholesome ideas. According to Buddhist custom, the child's first Sinhalese homework must be taught by a monk. Therefore, no one was surprised to see that Dharmapala received the initiation lesson with great scholar Siri Sumangala, Vidyodaya Pirivena University professor, Sri Lanka's Vidyodaya university now. After attending a few Christian schools, Dharmapala attended the English school of the denomination at Kotte, Colombo six miles away. Here, Dharmapala was forced to attend church at 7:30 every morning and listen to the Bible daily. Later, Dharmapala applied to study at St. Thomas University near Colombo. This is a high-end education school of God, with a very strict discipline. And during this time, what caused Dharmapala to keep the Buddha Shakyamuni faith was because of the tolerance and respect for other Buddhist religions as well as the deep absorption of the Buddha's teachings where his two births. Today thanks to the extensive work of the Buddhist Colonel Olcolt (USA) and Dharmapala Venerable, all Buddhist children are absorbed in Sinhalese and Buddhist education at any school they attend. . May 1886, Colonel Olcolt and Mrs. Blavatsky (Russian) arrived in Colombo as a major event in the Buddhist revival movement in Sri Lanka. Both are founders of New York City's Theosophical Society (USA). They had previously been in close contact with Venerable Migettuwatte Gunananda, a monk named Talented Speech and many times defeated the Christian clergy in religious debates held publicly at Panadura a few years 1873. The supreme teachings of Buddha surpassed all the dogmas of God. And it was these debates that influenced the decision to go to Sri Lanka to learn the Buddhism of the aforementioned Theosophists. It can be said that acting on Galle, Southern Sri Lanka on May 21, 1880 by Colonel Henry S. Olcolt and Madame Blavatsky for the refuge of the Three Jewels and ordination with a Sri Lankan master deeply affected the soul of the Dharmapala young man. And it is Dharmapala himself, along with the two births of the person, who also participated in this ceremony. This is a great event, for the first time in the history of Sri Lankan Buddhism, two Westerners came to this country to openly receive the Dharma. The Buddhist refuge of Blavatsky and Colonel Olcolt opened a new era for the history of Sri Lankan Buddhism. In 1883 a mob of Christians broke a Buddhist procession right in front of the Christian church in Kotahena, north of Colombo. This made the birth of Dharmapala immensely resentful, and from then on he refused to let his children go to God's schools. Dharmapala was forced to leave St. Thomas's College and for the first few months he was sent to the Colombo National Library to study European traditions. In 1884, Dharmapala was 18 years old and joined two other monks to join the Theosophical Society in Sri Lanka. Dharmapala also spent some time studying with Mrs. Blavatsky at the Theosophical Society headquarters in India.Although not keen on studying paranormal phenomena, Mrs. Blavatsky still encouraged him to learn more Pali and Buddhist scriptures. When Dharmapala returned to Sri Lanka, Dharmapala was now 20 years old. He asked his father's permission to let him live alone to begin serving for Buddhism. But his father was hesitant before this petition.Later, Dharmapala joined the Theosophical Society in Sri Lanka. live life as a government clerk. In 1886, Colonel Olcolt and Venerable CMLeadbeater from Adyar (India) returned to Colombo to raise money to help the Sri Lankan Buddhist education organization. They planned to travel around Sri Lanka and needed an interpreter because they could not speak Sinhalese at that time. Dharmapala was working as a secretary at the Sri Lankan National Ministry of Education, immediately quit his job and immediately agreed to help them with this work. Dharmapala's relatives heard the news immediately, but his relatives agreed. After three months traveling around the villages of Ceylon with bullock cart, in 1887 their delegation became familiar images of the revival of the Buddhist Parish in Sri Lanka. The Dharmapala young man spoke fluently like Colonel Olcolt colonel about all social, economic and religious issues. From 1885 to 1889, Dharmapala spent all his time working for the revival of the Dharma so that he was no different from the ancient Asoka of India, becoming the greatest Buddhist propagator of our time. During this time, Dharmapala, along with Colonel Olcolt, founded the Sanalese weekly "San-darasa" and in December 1888 published the first issue of "The Buddhist" magazine in England. written by Venerable Leadbeater. This magazine later became the mouthpiece of the Colombo Young Men's Buddhist Association and has now had a long history of 75 years of religious service. In 1889, Colonel Olcolt joined the Dharmapala Venerable to Japan. They brought along a letter expressing the sympathy of Sri Lankan Buddhists to the entire population of Japanese Buddhists in Sanskrit. Japan is one of the few countries that are independent in Asia and they have played an important role in the revival of Buddhism in Asian countries. In January 1891, the great Dharmapala and a Japanese monk, Venerable Kozen Gunaratne visited Buddhist relics in India. Dai Duc Dharmapala saw the Bodh Gaya (Buddha Gaya) scene, where the Buddha attained the goal of destruction and the Bodhisattva Temple was now under the control of a profiteer, Mahant. Venerable has for many years been trying to fight to regain this relic but failed. However, the Indian government later handed over the Bodhgaya to a mixed management of Hindu and Buddhist believers, which had greatly sympathized with Asian Buddhists. This change is entirely due to the resolute struggle of Dharnapala and the support of millions of Buddhists all over the world, the Maha Boddhi by Dharmapala. founded in Bodhgaya in 1881 and moved to Calcutta in 1882. It is still the most active Buddhist institution in India. The headquarters of the association is located at 4A Chatterjee Road, Calcutta 12 India (India). There is still a magnificent monument to memorize merit not only virtue, but also Mrs. Foster in Hawaii (Hawai) is also the benefactor of the association. In Calcutta, great virtue has advocated publishing Dai Giac magazine (Maha Bodhi). This newspaper has continued to publish for the past 71 years and it is now one of the Buddhist magazines that have contributed effectively in spreading the Dharma of the Buddha. In 1893, on the occasion of an international exhibition in Columbia, a world religious conference was held at the Columbus Hall in Chicago (USA) and this was the most significant event at the end of the century. 19. At the public forum, along with the leaders of other major religions, the Dharmapala spoke three times to a large number of intellectual listeners about the supreme religion of the Buddha. Although the great virtue does not have such an eloquent rhetoric as Vivekananda, a speaker on Hinduism, but with a simple and hard-spoken statement, the sermon of the great virtue made the majority of the American population popular. Pay attention and enjoy. Great Dharmapala also visited England many times. On his first trip in 1893, Venerable Master tried to establish a branch of the Bodhidharma Society of London, but the work failed. For the first time in Indian history, the great virtue was also the one who organized the Buddha's Birthday celebration on May 26, 1896 in Calcutta India. This ceremony is chaired by Mr. Narenda Nath Sen. The great virtue also had the good fortune to host the first Buddha's Birthday in New York (USA) in 1897, on the second visit to the United States at the invitation of Dr. Paul Carus. The birth of the great virtue, who donated a lot of money to the expansion of the Buddha's teachings, died in 1891. Hearing this news, Mrs. Foster in Hawai'i, who actively supported the Buddhist revival movement, wrote a letter asking Dharmapala to accept her as a adoptive mother. She sent a great donation to the great virtue, but without this money, it would be difficult for the great virtue to pursue a vow of preaching in India and Sri Lanka. In 1913, Dharmapala Venerable left Sri Lanka to Honolulu (Hawai'i) to thank Mrs. Foster for his enthusiasm to help the Ma Ha Bodhi Association thanks to her grandmother's money, which the association bought a building in Calcutta to do. headquarters. Before the great virtue left Hawaii, Mrs. Foster offered a great amount of 60,000 Rupees. Venerable used this silver to build a prestigious hospital in Colombo (Sri Lanka) and named Foster Robinson Hospital to memorize her immeasurable merit. Ms. Foster also helped in the construction of Siri Dharmarajika Chaitiya Temple in Calcutta. In 1920, Lord Ronaldshay, British governor in India also offered the temple a relic of Buddha to worship. This relics are found in the Madras district (India) and the Buddha the last great virtue has been completed is restored Wat Muladhakuti at Sarnath, in the first Buddha sermon and peace in that place a relic of Buddha by the Governor of Bengal in Bengal. And just like the career of Asoka's contribution in the 3rd century BC, the great virtue built Sanchi tower in Bhopal, northwestern India, to worship the relics of the two great disciples of the Buddha. Phat Loi and Muc Kien Lien. From 1917, Devapriya Valisinha became a core disciple of Dharmapala great virtue. Since the great virtue has passed away, he has held many responsibilities in all branches of the Bodhidharma Association in Calcutta. One other disciple of the Venerable Sangaratane, who had served very well for the Society and had been able to hold Sarnath Pagoda since December 1930.
