Dhammapala, the vihara in Switzerland, was opened in May of this year with Ajahn Tiradhammo as Abbot, accompanied by Venerable Chandapalo, Sister Cittapala and Anagarika Ernesto.
Sister Cittapala was born in Switzerland and has spent most of her life there, so she was the natural choice as a nurse for the baby monastery - at least until the abbot learns some German, and the locals feel at ease with the Sangha.
One day, here at Dhammapala, I asked a guest who likes to come and stay for several days at a time, what this occasion meant for her.

Since the 19th century, various societies for the revival of Pali studies in India have promoted awareness of the language and its literature, perhaps most notably the Maha Bodhi Society founded by Anagarika Dhammapala.

Compiled and edited by veteran journalist Lakshman Jayawardana, one time Chairman of the Associated Newspapers of Ceylon Limited, "Mage Jivita Katava" is the autobiography of the Anagarika Dharmapala, the crusader and reformist of modern Lanka and Buddhist revivalist of modern India.
After assuming duties as Editor-in-Chief of the "Sinhala Bauddhaya", which Anagarika Dharmapala started in May 1906 as a weekly Buddhist publication, Jayawardana had enjoyed the good fortune of excavating many a treasure which had been buried in the sands of time unheard and unnoticed for several decades.
His autobiography "Mage Jivita Katava" is partly the sordid double dealing of the British whose divide and rule policy still seems to be haunting certain minds.
