It will house the largest  Buddhist library in the world and include a conference hall with a 600  seating capacity, a language laboratory, audio visual studio, and a  section of Buddhist missionary activities and accommodation quarters  etc.     Work on the building is expected to be completed to coincide with  2600th Buddha Jayanthi in 2011.     President Mahinda Rajapaksa donated the land  for the building.      We hope to open the Sambuddha Jayanthi Mandiraya on  Vesak Full Moon Poya Day in 2011, Ven. Wimalajothi Thera said. The  Buddhist Cultural Centre which is responsible for overseeing the  construction of the Sambuddha Jayanthi Mandiraya has organised a  Buddhist Flag Day from May 15 to 21. The proceeds will be channelled to  the building fund.      The Buddhist Cultural Centre has requested the  co-operation of all in this endeavour. A flag is priced at Rs. 10.      Along with  the Buddhist Flag week, the Buddhist Cultural Centre will hold a  Buddhist book exhibition at the NationalArtGallery, he said.     The Buddhist Cultural Centre has appealed  for contributions to make the project a success.</blockquote>
