Dr. A.T. Ariyaratne is the Founder and President of Sarvodaya in Sri Lanka. He received his immediate inspiration for such activities from the work of Mahatma Gandhi and Acharya Vinoba Bhave. In Sri Lanka, he fashioned the Sarvodaya philosophy on Buddhist teachings and thus provided a living practical example of an alternative philosophy of development.
Dr. Ariyaratne is a prolific writer, and his writings are published in 6 volumes of collected works. He is the winner of a number of national and international awards. He won the Ramon Magsaysay Award for Community Leadership in 1969 and the Jamnalal Bajaj Award for propagating Gandhian values outside India in 1990, the King Boudouin Award in 1982, the Niwano Peace Prize in 1992 and the Hubert Humphrey Award in 1996. He has lectured in many countries and also before academic audiences, both in the east and west.
The essays included here deal with his development philosophy and strategy based basically on Buddhist teachings. How far could Buddhist teachings inspire modern day developmental efforts? Could Dr. Ariyaratne’s approach provide the modern world with the alternative theory of development it is searching for?
The essays are selected and the Introduction is supplied by Professor Nandasena Ratnapala.
