南传佛教最先由印度传入斯里兰卡传。在斯里兰卡经过了多次历史演变,几乎衰亡。直到1945年(1948年吧!请查一下),斯里兰卡独立后,政府把复兴佛教看作恢复民族文化的一个重要内容,建立了具有世俗性质的各种佛教社团,创办佛教大学,佛教才得以重新发展。这座佛殿是根据斯里兰卡佛寺的特点建造的。

The Theravada Buddhism was first introduced into Sri Lanka from India. It has passed many times of historical evolutions and almost declined. Until 1945(好像是48年), Sri Lanka got independence and the government took upon Buddhism as an important element of national culture to restored and revival it, later, establishment with the secular nature of the various Buddhist societies and set up university of Buddhism, in the end was able to re-development. This Buddha’s palace is based on the characteristics of Sri Lankan Buddhist temple built.
