From the Living Fountains of Buddhism
the INTRODUCTION to FROM THE LIVING FOUNTAINS OF BUDDHISM Sri Lankan Support to Pioneering Western Orientalists by ANANDA W. P. GURUGE originally published by The Ministry of Cultural Affairs Colombo 7, Sri Lanka cover photograph: Ven Hikkaḍuwe Śrī Sumaṅgala holding a class at Vidyodaya College circa 1900s 2 “We Europeans must, of course, stand in need of such help as we are so far from the living fountains of Buddhism and so scantily furnished with materials.” – Viggo Fausböll in his letter to Ven. Waskaḍuwe Subhūti Nāyaka Thera on 14th March 1877. 3 “The Western World discovered Pali, and the Buddhist scriptures barely a hundred years ago; Sri Lanka again provided the most material. It was George Turnour’s discovery and translation of the Mahā Vansa, in 1837, which helped scholars working in India to identify King Piyadassi of the inscriptions, which they were trying to decipher, with King Asoka of history. Subsequent advance was made comparatively easy. ‘Vincent Fausböll translated the Dhammapada in 1855 and Robert Caesar Childers, a member of the Ceylon Civil Service as was Turnour, published a Pali-English Dictionary in 1870. They were given considerable help by the Sinhalese Bhikkhus, especially Subhūti and Dhammarama. Dr. Rhys Davids, another member of the Ceylon Civil Service, founded the Pali Text Society in 1881, and with the help of his wife, gradually unveiled to the Western World, the unique and original literature contained in the Buddhist scriptures.” His Excellency J. R. Jayewardene – President of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka: BUDDHIST ESSAYS (First Edition 1942) Fifth Revised Edition 1983: Chapter VI. -

Buddhist Relationship Between Sri Lanka and Thailand: a Case Study of Exhibition Design of Phra Upali Maha Thero Museum, Wat Dhammaram, Ayutthaya, Thailand
Buddhist Relationship between Sri Lanka and Thailand: A Case Study of Exhibition Design of Phra Upali Maha Thero Museum, Wat Dhammaram, Ayutthaya, Thailand. Sarunya Prasopchingchana History Department, Burapha University, Thailand Abstract: The objective of this research was to explore exhibition design, on the topic of Buddhist Relationship between Sri Lanka and Thailand: A Case Study of exhibition design of Phra Upali Maha Thero Museum, Wat Dhammaram, Ayutthaya, Thailand. The researcher used a thematic approach to design the exhibition and create a model based on the theme of Buddhism Relationship between Sri Lanka and Thailand from a historical perspective. The following were the sections of the study: 1) Background of Wat Thammaram, Ayutthaya and an Upali monk's mission in the reign of King Borommakot 2) Buddhism Connection Between Ceylon and Siam in the Eighteenth Century. 3) An Exhibitions and design of Upali Maha Thero Museum, Dhammaram Temple, Ayutthaya, Thailand. 4) Interpretation and designing from exhibition in Upali museum: Buddhist Relationship between Sri Lanka and Thailand. 5) Conclusion. KEYWORDS: Exhibition design/ Upali Maha Thero Museum / Dhammaram Temple / Wat (temple) / Ceylon (Sri Lanka) / Buddhist Introduction “It can be clearly ascertained that the Siamese deputation of monks tasked with performing the Upasampada (higher ordination) in the island of Lanka, made a huge sacrifice to the point of endangering their lives on an arduous journey in the cause of the Buddhist Dhamma (Law, or Truth). Their achievement, lauded for its subsequent record of vitality, was seen in the firm regrounding of Buddhist Religion on this earth. Of the 18 monks making up the upali deputation, only 7 monks returned to the homeland.” (His highness Prince Damrong Rajanybhab, On the Establishment of the Siam Nikaya Sangha on Lanka, 1914, Upali Maha Thero Museum, Wat Dhammaram,) 1 From the quotation refers to Wat Dhammaram dispatched Phra Upali Maha Thera to Sri Lanka along with 16 other monks. -

University of Pittsburgh, 2017 The modernization of Buddhism in Sri Lanka since the late nineteenth century has been interpreted as imitating a Western model, particularly one similar to Protestant Christianity. This interpretation presents an incomplete narrative of Buddhist modernization because it ignores indigenous adaptive changes that served to modernize Buddhism. In particular, it marginalizes rituals and devotional practices as residuals of traditional Buddhism and fails to recognize the role of ritual practices in the modernization process. This dissertation attempts to enrich our understanding of modern and contemporary Buddhism in Sri Lanka by showing how the indigenous devotional ritual of venerating the Buddha known as Buddha-vandanā has been utilized by Buddhist groups in innovative ways to modernize their religion. -
