Is this heaven? The Kandy Vajiraramaya, perched on a hill overlooking the city, seems to exist in a world apart. The air hums with a quiet energy, a testament to the spiritual significance of this place. Founded in 1981, the Kandy Vajiraramaya wasn’t always here. It was the vision of two respected monks, Madihe Pagnaseeha Maha Nayaka Thero and Ampitiye Sri Rahula Maha Thero. They wanted to create a beacon of Buddhist teachings, a place where people could come to learn and grow in their understanding of the Dharma. And so, overlooking the city that houses the sacred Tooth Relic of the Buddha, the Kandy Vajiraramaya was born. More than just a temple, it’s a living testament to the enduring power of faith. Every brick, every prayer, every act of kindness within these walls echoes the original intention: to spread the Buddha’s teachings and way of life. The Kandy Vajiraramaya stands as a symbol of peace and a reminder of the enduring power of the human spirit to seek enlightenment.
