In 2001, The Maha Karuna Buddhist Society was formed under the guidance and inspiration of The Most Venerable B.Sri Saranankara Nayaka Maha Thera (Chief High Priest Judiciary of Malaysia and Chief Monk of Sri Lanka Buddhist Temple, Sentul KL. The aim of this society is to organize spiritual and welfare activities that will benefit the society.

Maha Karuna Buddhist Society believes that when one is contented, life will be enriching and satisfying. But indulging in self-fulfilment is ephemeral, one needs to inspire and illuminate others. Everyone has the ability to help another. MKBS continues its objective to practise Great Compassion and Loving Kindness through every activity held, to enable every party involved either well-wisher, contributor or beneficiaries to earn life value and realise the Teachings of Buddha.
