 | | After the Mahameghavana was offered to the Sangha, Mahinda at once set about to plan the headquaters of Buddhism which in later times became the famous Mahavihara, the great centre of Buddhist culture and learning in the Island, the stronghold of the Theravada. | | | Mahinda, therefore, made in public the most significant announcement that Buddhism would be established in Sri Lanka. | | | The Mahavihara was the original and first centre of Buddhism, hallowed by Mahinda himself; its monks were proud of the great tradition, and zealously guarded the honour and authority of the vihara. |

| | Mahinda pointed out to the king various spots destined to be connected with the growth of the sásana in Ceylon, offering flowers at the same, and at the site of the (later) Mahá Thúpa, he described the visits of the Four Buddhas of this kappa to Ceylon. | | | Among Mahinda's benefactions was the erection of the Dámavihára-parivena and the Sanníratittha vihára in Pulatthipura, also the costly Ratanapásáda, containing a golden image of the Buddha. | | | After the full moon day of Kattika, at the conclusion of the pavárana ceremony, Mahinda held a consultation with Devánampiyatissa and sent Sumanasámanera to Pátaliputta to bring the relics of the Buddha from Dhammásoka and other relics from Sakka. |

| | Mahinda, who was just as good as psychologist as a missionary, took the opportunity to request King Devanampiyatissa to obtain from Emperor Asoka of India some bodily relics of the Buddha (Saririka dhatu) that could be worshipped in the same manner as the Sri Maha Bodhi in remembrance of his teachings. | | | Poson Poya is the time when thousands of devotees wend their way to Mihintale to celebrate the coming of Thera Mahinda with the teachings of the Buddha. | | | Since the rules (vinaya) did not permit Mahinda to carry out the ordination, his sister Theri Sangamitta came from India to do it, bringing with her a branch of the Pipul (Ficus) or Bodhi tree at Gaya under which the Buddha meditated and attained ultimately enlightenment. |

| | Legend says Mahinda flew from there to Sri Lanka but a very ancient tradition from south India attributes the introduction of Buddhism to that region to Mahinda so it is likely he was active there for some time before going to Sri Lanka. | | | The king was somewhat taken aback by the monks but Mahinda reassured him saying; ‘Oh great king, we are monks, disciples of the King of Truth. | | | The inscription, by King Mahinda IV, is one of the longest and most interesting from ancient Sri Lanka and tells us a great deal about what life was like at Mihintale. |

| | Mahinda' s arrival in Sri Lanka marked the significant development of Sri Lankan culture; he brought about not only a new religion, but also the whole civilization of Buddhist India, be it arts, architecture, and literature. | | | When Arhat Mahinda came to Sri Lanka, he brought with him the Theravada canon or orthodox Buddhism, regarded as the most ancient sect of Buddhism using the Pali language unlike the Mahayana Buddhism which embraces Sanskrit. | | | The first confrontation of the Sinhalese king named Devanampiyatissa and Arhat Mahinda, the celebrated missionary of Buddhism in 306 B.C. (237 years after the death of the Buddha) paved way for the establishment of Buddhism in Sri Lanka. |
