The 75 Acre land gifted for a Buddhist cause was made available by the Hon. Minister of Buddhasasana for the concept proposed by the Light of Asia Foundation for re-creating the replica of the ‘Sākya Kingdom’ in partnership with the Ministry of Buddhasasana. The joint venture between the Ministry of Buddhasasana and the Light of Asia Foundation – ‘Sākya Kingdom Trust of Sri Lanka’ approved by the
Cabinet of Ministers with the blessings of His Excellency The President and the Hon. Prime Minister, would be funded by the Light of Asia Foundation through Associates and Donors from here and overseas.
‘Sākya Kingdom’ will form the base of the Light of Asia Foundation’s commitment to transmit the ‘Dhamma’ to the world through Audio-Visual presentations, which was the vision of the Founder over 17 years ago, which has been endorsed by the Hon. The project will have several facilities to communicate the timeless message of Compassion, re-affirming Sri Lanka’s role in continuing to preserve the pristine teachings of The Buddha.
