London Buddhist Vihara

The London Buddhist Vihara (Sinhala:ලන්ඩන් බෞද්ධ විහාරය) is one of the main Theravada Buddhist temples in the United Kingdom. The Vihara was the first Sri Lankan Buddhist monastery to be established outside Asia.
Established in 1926, the Vihara is managed by the Anagarika Dharmapala Trust in Colombo. The current chief bhikkhu of the Vihara is Ven Bogoda Seelawimala Nayaka Thera, who is also the Chief Sangha Nayaka of Great Britain.〔(Bogoda Seelawimala Thera appointed new Sanghanayake in Britain )〕
==History==
The London Buddhist Vihara was founded in 1926 by Anagarika Dharmapala.〔(London Buddhist Vihara Founder’s Day Celebrations )〕
One of the temple’s main benefactors during its early days was Mary Foster, who financed ‘Foster House’ in Ealing.〔(75th Anniversary Celebrations of the London Buddhist Vihara )〕 This was the first Sri Lankan Buddhist temple established outside Asia and was named the London Buddhist Vihara in 1926. Shortly afterwards, the Vihara moved to Gloucester Road in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, where it continued until the Second World War. During the war, the temple premises were requisitioned, and the monks returned to Ceylon.
In 1955, the Vihara reopened in Ovington Square, Knightsbridge under the initiative of Sir Cyril de Zoysa.〔(Sir Cyril de Zoysa, the great Buddhist devotee ).〕
Ven Narada Nayaka Thera became the chief bhikkhu of the Vihara in 1958.〔(A Biographical Sketch of Venerable Narada Maha Thera )〕 The Vihara moved to Heathfied Gardens, Chiswick in 1964. Ven Hammalawa Saddhatissa Nayaka Thera subsequently became the chief Bhikkhu of the Vihara 〔(NEW POSTAL STAMP )〕 and was succeeded in 1985 by Ven Dr Medagama Vajiragnana Nayaka Thera.〔(Buddhist missionary in the West after WW II )〕
In 1994, The Vihara moved to its present premises at The Avenue, Chiswick. Ven Bogoda Seelawimala Nayaka Thera was appointed as the Chief Bhikkhu in May 2008.
The London Buddhist Vihara has several resident bhikkhus from Sri Lanka and continues to conduct and actively engage in religious Buddhist activities in the region.
