About Mahamevnawa

Mahamevnawa is an organization of Buddhist monasteries established in the year 1999 in Sri Lanka, for the purpose of spiritual development through Gautama Supreme Buddha's dispensation. At the time when the true doctrine of the Supreme Buddha was hardly known or practiced, Mahamevnawa endeavoured to teach the Noble Dhamma from the 18,000 original discourses - all of which have been protected for over 2,500 years within the Pali cannon.

Toronto Chapter of Mahamevnawa was the first overseas center of Mahamevnawa Monasteries and was formally inaugurated in 2006 under the blessings and the patronage of its founder and the chief monk, most venerable Bhikkhu Kiribathgoda Ganananda.
