The Mahābodhi Society

Japanese: 大菩提会 - だいぼだいかい(英語表記)The Mahābodhi Society
The Mahābodhi Society
An organization promoting the revival of Buddhism in India. It was founded in 1890 by the Ceylonese Dharmapala in Bodh Gaya, the place where the Buddha attained enlightenment. It has gradually gained influence by linking itself with the movement to abolish caste. Although it does not have many followers, the general Indian public considers Buddhism to be a branch of Hinduism, and the Indian government openly sponsors major events.

インドで仏教復興運動を行なっている団体。セイロン人ダルマパーラが 1890年に釈尊の成道の地ブッダガヤーに設立した。カースト廃止運動と結びついて次第に勢力を伸ばしている。信徒の数はそれほど多くはないが,一般インド人は仏教がヒンドゥー教の一分派であると考えているので,インド政府も大きな催しには公に後援している。
