The first institute of Buddhist Education founded in the 19th century Sri Lanka - 1841
This is the seat of Buddhist Education in 19th century (under British rule) in Sri Lanka . It is the birth place of two National Universities, namely Vidyodaya Sri Jayawardhanapura and Vidyalankara Kelaniya. The founder of Parama Dhamma Cetiya Pirivena was Ven. Walane Sri Siddhartha Maha Thera(1811-1868). This Pirivena (school for novice monks) was established in 1841. It was started with a small humble Kuti(hut). Little by little this Institute gained faith and fame from this country and abroad. It is because of its well organized system of oriental and occidental education that it became popular as a center of learning. Today it is a well recognized International Buddhist Educational centre for monks in Sri Lanka. The Meditation Institute which is in the same premises is well known locally and internationally. The institution is currently directed by Ven. Madapatha Dhammasara Thera,
