Ven. Makola Mangala Thero
The Kiribathgoda Kelaniya Young Buddhist Association is not merely an organization, but a center that nurtures the spiritual and social values of the youth in the area. In a challenging era like the present, it is a timely necessity to guide the energy of youth onto the right path through the noble principles taught in Buddhism.
A Legacy of Service
The Young Men's Buddhist Association (YMBA) movement was pioneered in 1898 under the leadership of Anagarika Dharmapala. The YMBA Kiribathgoda branch was established in 1959 and has been serving the community ever since.
