(509)

The Buddist Maha Vihara was founded by the Sinhalese community based in Kuala Lumpur and the surrounding areas in 1894 to provide a place of worship in their Sri Lankan Theravada tradition. Most of Shinhalese were either traders or artisans and skilled workers brought in from Ceylon by the British Administration to develop the colonial Malayan Civil Service. The Buddhist Maha Vihara was commonly k

nown as the Brickfields Buddhist Temple for many years. We now provide Buddhist education via a Sunday Dhamma School, Dhamma talks and meditation retreats, free dhamma books and pilgrimages. We also conduct a Sunday Soup Kitchen and a Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic as welfare projects.
