​​​Dr. A. T. Ariyaratne founded the Sarvodaya Shramadana Movement, a bottom-up development process to empower communities based on the Buddha’s Teachings for sustainable development and peace in Sri Lanka in 1958. Saravodaya is a theory and practice to awaken at six levels : Human Personality, Family, Village Community, Urban Community, National and World or Universal. Today Sarvodaya is the greatest peace force in Sri Lanka active in 15,000 villages. Sarvodaya was awarded the 2014 Outstanding Social Entrepreneur by World Economic Forum. Dr Ari also trained Buddhist monks in community services with the late Ven. Pandit Henpitagegera Gnanasiha. There are Sarvodaya incorporated bodies in USA, UK, Japan, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Nepal, India and Pakistan. Today, Dr. Ari speaks on development, interfaith, and Buddhist economics globally.
