Thripitaka Manuscript research project

Our team recently spent several dedicated days at the British Library researching the 2,500-year-old Tripitaka manuscripts to deepen our understanding of Lord Buddha’s teachings on the way of life and wise living. Through careful study, we uncovered profound ancient guidance on mindfulness, compassion, ethical conduct, and inner peace—timeless principles that remain deeply relevant today.

This meaningful research is part of our ongoing commitment to preserving and sharing authentic Buddhist teachings for the benefit of modern society. We warmly invite you to join our charity organisation and take part in future projects that explore, protect, and promote this invaluable spiritual heritage. If you would like to learn more about our findings or support our work, please contact us for further details.

The year 2023 featured a wonderful programmes, the Dhamma Sermon Series, organised by the Kent Sri Lankan Buddhist Cultural Centre (KSLBCC), reflecting the Centre’s continued commitment to supporting the spiritual well-being, moral development, and overall welfare of the community. As part of this ongoing effort, KSLBCC has diligently organised and conducted a series of Dhamma Deshana programmes throughout the year.

This particular programme was held on Sunday, 30th July 2023 at Dartford Grammar School for Girls, and it exemplifies the Centre’s sincere and sustained efforts to provide structured Buddhist religious activities, including Dhamma sermons, discussions, devotional chanting, and meditation guidance.

The Dhamma Sermon series is one of the regular religious initiatives conducted by KSLBCC on a weekly, monthly, and annual basis, aimed at encouraging the practice of mindfulness, ethical living, and spiritual growth in accordance with the Theravāda Buddhist tradition. These gatherings provide the community with opportunities for meaningful learning, reflection, and collective merit-making in a peaceful and supportive environment.

This particular programme was successfully conducted under the guidance of Venerable Meepe Siridhamma Rathana Thero, a highly respected and learned monk from Sri Lanka. The session featured insightful Dhamma teachings that inspired attendees of all ages, fostering a sense of harmony, devotion, and mindfulness within the community.

The Kent Sri Lankan Buddhist Cultural Centre (KSLBCC) would like to express its sincere gratitude to all individuals, volunteers, and sponsors who contributed their time, effort, and support in organising and facilitating this Dhamma Sermonseries. Their dedication and generosity played an essential role in the successful completion of the programme.

For the past three years, our Temple has continuously conducted regular Buddhist Dhamma Sākachchā, creating a dedicated space for learning, reflection, and open discussion. Through weekly gatherings, guided teachings, and shared dialogue, we have remained committed to preserving and practising the Buddha’s wisdom in daily life.
