 | | The Mahavamsa was written in the 6th century CE by the Buddhist monk Mahanama, brother of the Sri-Lankan King Dhatusena, and heavily relied on the Dipavamsa, written five centuries earlier. |  | | While it is not considered a canonical religious text, the Mahavamsa is an important Buddhist document giving the early history of the religion in Sri Lanka, beginning near the time of the founder of Buddhism, Siddhartha Gautama. |  | | The Mahavamsa, also Mahawamsa, (Pāli: "great chronicle") is a historical record, written in the Pāli language, of the Buddhist kings of Sri Lanka. |

| | Dipavamsa and Mahavamsa |
 | | According to the account found in the chronicles Dipavamsa and Mahavamsa, the earliest period to which reference is made deals with the time of the Buddha Kakusanda, the first of the Buddhas belonging to the maha Bhadra Kalpa, during which five Buddhas appear to relieve mankind from the evils of suffering. |  | | The Mahavamsa says that the Buddha, during his third visit to the island, had visited nine places, i.e. |  | | Although the Mahavamsa mentions the names of those who came to the island along with Arhat Maha Mahinda, it does not refer to those who came along with the Theri Sanghamitta carrying the Bo-sapling from India. |

| | In Defense of Dharma: Just-War Ideology in Buddhist Sri Lanka |
 | | In his analysis of the Mahavamsa story regarding the establishment of Buddhism in Sri Lanka, R.A.L.H. Gunawardana has argued that there is dissonance between the Buddha of Mahavamsa and the Buddha of the Pali canon, the latter of which provides the textual foundation of Sri Lankan Buddhism (and Theravada Buddhism, generally). |  | | Philosophy of Perera's ilk has been elucidated by H.L. Seneviratne, who has argued persuasively that the Mahavamsa's story of the establishment of Buddhism in Sri Lanka, in which the "island of Sri Lanka and its inhabitants, as the guardians of Buddhism, are placed under divine protection,"(25) continues to resonate in the present. |  | | Regarding the Mahavamsa, since the 1980s scholarship on Sri Lanka has focused upon the Mahavamsa as the text that lays the foundation for the Sinhala people's claim to be the preservers of Buddhism. |

| | THE SO-CALLED TAMIL KINGDOM OF JAFFNA: by Prof. S.Ranwella |
 | | In the Mahavamsa, or in the ancient Pali, Sanskrit or Tamil literature for that matter, the Nagas are never represented as human beings, but as a class of super natural beings or non-human beings who inhabited a subterranean world, whose normal form was that of serpents, but who would assume any form at will. |  | | Therefore this legend in the Mahavamsa cannot be taken as evidence for the existence of a Tamil kingdom, not even the existence of a settled Tamil population in the Jaffna peninsula from very early times. |  | | It is first mentioned in the Pali chronicles of Ceylon in connection with the story of the Buddha's second visit to Sri Lanka in the 6th century B.C. According to the Mahavamsa (ch.1.vv 44-70) the Buddha during this visit pacified two Naga kings of Nagadipa who were arrayed in battle over a gem-set throne. |

| | Mahavamsa |
 | | Sinhala Buddhist nationalism is the chauvinistic mind set induced by Mahavamsa, a Buddhist chronicle in Pali, full of myths and written by a Buddhist monk with a prejudiced mind. |  | | According to the Mahavamsa and the ancient Pali Commentaries, the passing away of the Buddha, and the landing in Lanka of Vijaya, the founder of the Sinhalese race, took place on one and the same day. |  | | Thus the Mahavamsa synchronises the death of the Buddha with the founding of the Sinhalese race; and, therefore, in 1956 will occur the unique three-fold event -- the completion of 2500 years of Buddhism, of the life of the Sinhalese race, and of Ceylon's history. |
