Empowering learning, research and lifelong scholarship.
The Bhiksu education centre known as Buddhasravaka Dharmapeetha was established in 1969 and was re-launched with a new institutional identity on 31 May 1998. The books of the former Dharmapeetha Library were then taken into the custody of the University. From 1 August 1998, the Library began to develop with modern scientific features in line with the standards of a university library.
At present, Buddhasravaka Bhiksu University has been developed as the Bhiksu University of Sri Lanka since 7 July 2012 and continues to engage in a special mission to promote the education of local and foreign Buddhist monks. This brief message introduces the plan, development and functioning of the Library of Bhiksu University of Sri Lanka.
Nestled within the vibrant academic community of Bhiksu University of Sri Lanka, our Library serves as a beacon of knowledge and scholarship. With a strong commitment to supporting learning and research, we offer a comprehensive range of resources and services to meet the diverse needs of students, faculty members, researchers and the wider academic community.
