Weaving History and Heritage into the Present
Historical Roots
At Hayagiri International Buddhist College, our journey is deeply entwined with the hallowed Asgiri Gedige Rajamaha Vihara. This sacred temple complex, an enduring cornerstone in preserving Buddhist teachings, serves as the ancestral roots of our college. In epochs past, it stood as a scholarly haven, adorned with distinguished titles such as ‘raja guru’ and ‘dharmakirthi,’ where wisdom was imparted to rulers, and virtuous guidance was extended to the people.
Transformation by King Vikramabahu III
A pivotal chapter in our history unfolds under the visionary reign of King Vikramabahu III. He orchestrated a magnificent transformation with regal finesse, illuminating the once mysterious temple into a radiant three-courtyard complex. This metamorphosis marked the genesis of our college’s journey, a testament to the enduring legacy of King Vikramabahu III and his commitment to the fusion of knowledge and spirituality.
Monastic Luminaries and Cultural Legacy
The narrative of our college is interwoven with the luminous presence of ascetic figures, led by the venerable Dharmakirti Maha Thero. Their profound influence played a pivotal role in shaping this sanctified enclave’s spiritual and cultural legacy. From imparting wisdom to rulers as ‘raja guru’ to guiding people onto the virtuous path as ‘dharmakirthi,’ these monastic luminaries laid the foundation for the holistic education we continue to uphold.
