Kandy (Buddhist Publication Society)

Kandy, in the central highlands of Sri Lanka, was the last royal capital of the Sinhalese kingdom and is home to the Temple of the Tooth Relic, a major pilgrimage site. It is also the seat of the Buddhist Publication Society, an English-language publisher of Theravāda texts long associated with the German-born monk Nyanaponika Thera and, later, the American monk Bhikkhu Bodhi.
