About
In the late 1960’s, the spiritual needs of the Buddhist community in Toronto were fulfilled by invited guests to deliver sermons, once or twice a year at different rented locations. The congregations at these events evolved themselves into Canadian Buddhist Vihara Society. The first official meeting of this group was held at 126 Scarborough Crescent in Scarborough. A Board of 15 committee members was elected and was registered in 1973 in the province of Ontario as Canadian Buddhist Vihara Society.
Driven by the desire, nursed and nourished by the Canadian Buddhist Vihara Society, the noble idea of establishing a Buddhist temple in the Sri Lankan Theravada tradition in Toronto was conveyed to most venerable Dr. Dickwela Piyananda, chief resident monk of the Washington Temple. Ven. Piyananda made a few visits to Toronto and conducted meetings in several private residences to fathom their aspirations and needs and the necessity of having a Buddhist center.
