Saddharmaratnavaliya: Garland of Gems of the Sublime Truth is the English rendering of one of Sri Lanka’s greatest Sinhala literary classics, composed by Ven. Pandith Dharmasena during the 13th-century Dambadeniya period. Regarded as the longest and most refined Sinhala prose work of its time, it artfully weaves together stories, similes, and alliterations to illuminate the profound virtues and teachings of the Buddha.
 
Translated into English by the distinguished scholar Prof. Vini Vitharana, this volume opens the doors of this masterpiece to a global readership for the first time. Combining wit, moral insight, and literary brilliance, Saddharmaratnavaliya stands as a testament to the intellectual and spiritual sophistication of medieval Sri Lankan scholarship. Published by the Central Cultural Fund in 2016, it remains an essential text for students and scholars of Buddhist literature, linguistics, and South Asian cultural history.
