This book analyses the life and work of Anagarika Dharmapala, a leading Sinhalese Buddhist who sought to possess and administer the Mahabodhi site in Bihar. This temple is located in the spot where the Biddha is said to have achieved enlightenment. Dharmapala later established the Mahabodhi society which played a key role in making modern Buddhism worldwide.
