To All,
While going through a book on Ceylonese Buddhist Chronicles , I came across a
reference from Dipavamsa ,which reads as follows-

DIPAGAMANAM BUDDHASSA DHATU CHA BODHIAGAMAM

Evidently 'Dipaagamanam Buddhassa' this indicates a possiblity of Lord Buddha
laying his blissful step on Sri Lankan soil .

I was curious to know whether any other evidences exist hinting at
Buddha's visit to Sri Lanka . Is it a fact that Lord Buddha himself came to Lanka or whetehr
it was Emperor Ashoka's son Mahinda who first introduced Buddhism to Sri LANKA ,during the
reign of King Duttagamini
