The term "Buddhist revival" refers to a movement that began in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, aimed at revitalizing and reforming Buddhism. This movement emerged in response to colonialism and the challenges posed by modernity, seeking to restore the relevance of Buddhist teachings in contemporary society. Key figures in the revival include Buddhaghosa and Anagarika Dharmapala, who emphasized the importance of education, social reform, and the promotion of Buddhist values. The revival has led to the establishment of new Buddhist organizations and increased interest in Buddhist practices worldwide, contributing to a global appreciation of the tradition.
