Introduction of Buddhism to Sri Lanka “TISSA TISSA” the voice echoed in the ears of mighty King, no one dared to call him by his name because he was the King, and the King was surprised to hear that someone was calling him simply by his name. The king raised his head and carefully directed his eyesight in the direction, where the voice came from, a bald-headed person standing on the nearby huge granite rock, looking at him, the king surprised, he had not seen the stranger before. The foreigner was not alone; he was with another 5 persons, who were standing in a row behind him. The stranger started to question the King asking, “Tissa what is this tree?” asked the foreigner, “it is a mango tree” was the answer of the King, “are there any other trees in the forest except this mango tree?”, “Yes, there are many other trees in this forest other than this mango tree” answered the King. Presumably, this had been a part of the first QA in the world, which took place in 3rd century BC in Sri Lanka. The stranger, who questioned the King, was none other than the son of Indian Emperor Ashoka and the King was Devanapmpyatissa, who ruled the island in 3rd century BCE. This had been the first encounter of a Buddhist monk with a Sri Lankan ruler. The messenger from India Buddhism was formally introduced to the island of Sri Lanka in 3rd century BCE by Monk Mahinda, who arrived the island from then Buddhist nation India. Monk Mahinda was the messenger sent by Emperor Asoka to Sri Lanka to introduce the valuable teaching of Buddha to the island. Mihintale Buddhist temple The Buddhist temple complex of Mihintale is situated on the plateau of the Missaka Mountain. The history of Mihintale and the Missaka mountains goes back to the reign of King Devanampiyatissa, 3rd Century BC. The most important incident that made Mihintale so important was the introduction of Buddhism. Mihintale is considered to be the cradle of Buddhism and it is visited by thousands of Buddhist every day. Tens of thousands of Buddhist in the island gather to Mihintale on the Full moon day of June in order to commemorate incident that led the introduction of Buddhism. The monastery complex of Mihintale was initiated by Monk Mahinda, who was sent to Sri Lanka on a Buddhist mission by King Ashoka from India. King Devanampiyatissa met monk Mahinda and his companion who on the plateau, after a lengthy discussion between monk Mahinda and the King, the King was converted to Buddhism. Same time Buddhism became the national religion of the island. After the introduction of Buddhism monk, Mahinda lived for many years on the island, while helping the King to establish the religion firmly on his soil. On the other hand, King Devanampiyatissa had facilitated all physical requirements to spread the religion and the large monastery complex for the monks in Mihintale. Visiting Mihintale Visiting Mihintale is not purely a religious affair but also it is an opportunity to experience the rich historical past of Sri Lanka.
