Buddhist Cultural Centre

Buddhist Cultural Centre (BCC) in Sri Lanka was founded by Sri Lankan Kirama Wimalajothi Thero (Badu Mama), after dedicated religious service in Malaysia, Singapore and the US for nearly 20 years. It was opened on January 2, 1992 under the patronage of Dr. K. Sri Dhammananda, chief Sanghanayake of Malaysia and Singapore. Buddhist Cultural Centre was established to fill the gap in reading materials for the use of the people of the area as well as in other countries. There started a small place at Nadimala, Dehiwala-Mount Lavinia, with a few lay devotees. He went in search of some books on Buddhism and Buddhist culture and found that the books he was looking for were not available at any of the leading bookshops in Sri Lanka. He thus started collecting books on Buddhism and related subjects.
