Wikipedia's article on Anagarika Dharmapala, community-edited. States his 1891 founding of the Maha Bodhi Society in Colombo, prompted by a pilgrimage that same year to the Mahabodhi Temple at Bodh Gaya, which he found under non-Buddhist control with Buddhists barred from worship there, launching an international campaign for its restoration to Buddhist control that marks the point the Sri Lankan revival's own leadership turned outward.
