Bauddha Dharmankur Sabha or the Bengal Buddhist Association is one of the pioneer organizations that has been keeping alive the Buddhist religious, spiritual and cultural tradition in the Indian sub-continent for more than a century. It owes its origin to Ven. Kripasaran Mahathero who became practically responsible for the regeneration of Buddhism in Indian sub-continent. Kripasaran Mahasthavir established the Bauddha Dharmankur Sabha on 5^th October 1892. He was also the pioneer of launching Jagajjyoti in 1908 which is maintaining its glory till date as a bilingual journal of international repute. We celebrated the 125 years of a golden heritage with multiple events like international seminars, exhibitions, interactive sessions, religious discourses and cultural programmes. We have branches like the Bodhisattva Vihara in Lucknow, Gandhamadan Vihara in Darjeeling, Shillong Buddha Vihara in Shillong, Saptaparni Vihara in Rajgir and the Dharmachakra Vihara in Sarnath.
