It was inaugurated  on January 2nd 1992 under the auspices of Ven.Dr.K.Sri Dhammananda  Thera, the chief prelate of Malaysia and Singapore and a plethora of  other internationally famed Buddhist scholar monks of the time. It  sought to fill a lacuna of the devoted Buddhists in Sri Lanka and the  rest of the world. What made Ven.Wimalajhoti thera start the BCC  was the dearth of Buddhist publications in Sri Lanka notwithstanding its  reputation as a country where Buddhism prevails in its pristine form.  This fact was pointed to Ven.Wimalajhoti thera by some of his foreign  neophytes who had arrived in Sri Lanka to learn Buddhism when they had  strolled quite unsuccessfully all over the outskirts of Colombo along  with him in search of some Buddhist publications.</blockquote>
