Buddhist Monk Plans Buddhist Cultural Center in Washington
London AP reports Venerable Vinitha of Karameya plans to travel to the United States this month to establish a Buddhist cultural center. The monk says the aim is to promote Buddhist ideals of tolerance, compassion, friendliness, and nonviolence, not to convert Americans. The Ceylon government will support the center for initial years, after which it should be self-supporting. Vinitha holds a bone relic as he speaks, and the Ceylon high commissioner in London praises the mission as a bridge between the two nations. He studied at Harvard World Religion Center and founded monasteries in London and Sri Lanka, and notes about 176,000 Buddhists live in the United States largely in the Mahayana branch, while he intends to bring Theravada teachings.
