In 2005, he founded the Uganda Buddhist Center in Kampala, Uganda, the first Buddhist Center in Uganda. He has been a resident monk at the Bhavana Society in West Virginia.

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia -- The Buddhist Maha Vihara in Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur is pleased to launch its first ever Dhamma publication in Luganda, the language of the people of Uganda, in Africa.
This is the 16th language undertaken by the Vihara’s FREE PUBLICATIONS PROGRAM to serve niche Buddhist communities throughout the world.
The book is a translation of “How to Practise Buddhism? authored by Ven Dr K Sri Dhammananda. The book was translated by Nicholas K. Ssewanyana and Tom Kyembe and edited by Bhante U. Buddharakkhita, currently the only native African Theravada Buddhist monk.
Ven Buddharakkhita has also authored another popular book, “Planting the Seeds of Dhamma”- the Emergence of Buddhism in Africa. Bhante’s book was also published by our Vihara in English and Mandarin.
Ven Buddharakkhita was also instrumental in setting up the Uganda Buddhist Center in Kampala, the first ever Buddhist center in Africa set up by a native African Buddhist monk. The Venerable’s mother has ordained to become the first Theravada native African Buddhist nun.
The Uganda centre and its Buddhist population is growing slowly with the support of Buddhists overseas and the small expatriate Chinese, Thai, Burmese and Sri Lankan communities.
The Vihara annually publishes about 200,000 to 300,000 Buddhist books in several languages, and also produces CDs, VCDs and MP3s for free distribution.
The Vihara’s free publications are available in English, Mandarin, Bahasa Malaysia, Tamil, Sinhalese, Vietnamese, Burmese, Thai, Brazilian Portugese, Spanish, Hindi, Kannada, Telegu, Kishwahili and Chichewa. The Vihara also teaches the Dhamma to the Deaf using sign language, the only such Buddhist class in Malaysia.

敬爱的马来亚佛总理事先生Buddhist Maha Vihara, Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia佛寺理事先生以及佛教信徒.
自从Yip Kum Fook (MCA Gombak Chairman)当任主席, 有预谋的迫走本地和尚(吉兰丹), 而遠聘缅甸和尚, 当任主持之后Samnak Sambodhi Thai Buddhist Temple No: 19 Jalan 38 Taman Desa Jaya, Kepong 52100 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia(暹廟)就一直发生种种的是是非非, 以引起方民間議論纷纷.
其因是Yip Kum Fook (MCA Gombak Chairman)所领导的理事会, 勾结外耒的缅甸和尚, 以啇業経营, 不依佛法的精神办事, 只借宗教之名捞取权和私利所引起………. 最近又自行一套商业手法, 规定任和人, 若想出家当和尚修道者, 必先供给RM400大元, 否则免谈. 這种啇業手法, 已引起广大的信徒愤怒而不满.
Samnak Sambodhi Thai Buddhist Temple (暹廟)是佛总之联会, 而身佛堂之主席Yip Kum Fook (MCA Gombak Chairman)不以佛陀的教誨, 修心養性, 却反其道而行, 接着权势, 无悪不做, 三妻四妾, 骗财骗色, 破坏別人的家庭.....现在他的排聞满天飞, 不但给佛寺帶耒不好的名声, 也間接的耻辱佛教信仰者.
所从我们祈望马来亚佛总与Buddhist Maha Vihara, Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia理事同仁, 给以关注, 共創義举, 维护佛法
此致, 并
祝安康, 工作愉快.
YIP KUM FOOK (LAWYER) BOHONG KATA RESITS KUIL HILANG!
Kepada orang ramai yang di hormati,
YIP KUM FOOK (MCA GOMBAK) mengaduan ke Polis resit yang simpan di tempat Kuil yang sunyi pun hilang. Mengapa pencuri bolih tahu? Mengapa CCTV tak rakam? Semua cakap bohong.
Ini semuanya dia bermain wayang sendiri. Siapa mahu curi resit yang tidak berhargai itu? Ini bukan duit? Ini bukan Mas? Kerana dia cuba menutup akaun yang tidak serata Kuil SAMNAK SAMBODHI, TAMAN DESA JAYA, KEPONG, KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA. Dia ingat orang ramai semua bodoh.
To the public that is respected,
YIP KUM FOOK (MCA Gombak) report to Police: donation receipts keep in Temple a quietly were disappeared. Why thieves can know? Why CCTV not record? All telling lie.
This is his entire play movie. Who wants to steal invaluable receipts? This is not money? This is not gold? Because he tried to cover unbalance account of SAMNAK SAMBODHI, TAMAN DESA JAYA, KEPONG, KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA. . He thought, people are stupid.
FORWARD BY SAMNAK SAMBODHI COMMITTEES
To all the esteemed brothers and sisters.
We are a Myanmar group in Malaysia; we have lived in Malaysia for a decade and always go to the temple (SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST ASSOCIATION) No: 19-21 Jalan 38 Taman Desa Jaya, Kepong, 52100 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and we are very sad and sorry with the Temple Committee Members because they use monks as like animals, we are in the wrong notion of the Buddhist teachings or the rules of the Buddha. We came to this Temple to help the Monks and respected our religion.
That the Temple (SAMNAK SAMBODHI) is a Chairman named Datuk YIP KUM FOOK (Chairman of MCA Gombak Division), our monks said and they invited our monks from Myanmar to take care of the Temple but without making any payment to our monks, they added and disrespected them of us Monks and at times he ordered his people to collect items such as paper, and so on. The chairman took the mineral water without informing any word to our monks. In our religion we believe we cannot take any Holy Place (Temple) all are the sins, if we took... this chairman of Temple is very badly like animals, he without knowledge in Buddhism at all….
In the previous, our monks said the Committee Member always asked for money from him, when our monk gave RM20, 000.00 in cash in 2001 to the Chairman (Yip kum Fook), then the Committee was silent, the Committee then made trouble with one of our Sami named Ven. U Nandiya again and revoked our monk (Visa permit) permit to stay in Malaysia, then our monk (Sadayaw U Nandiya) went to Australia and our monk did not come to the Temple in the long run. Datuk Yip Kum Fook (Chairman of MCA Gombak division) gave a notebook computer to our monk for the protection of the amount of money, this is what our monk told;
Many locals around the Temple said, now no more people come to this Temple because Committee Members are always making trouble or very arrogant and we heard from locals say: Yip Kum Fook (Chairman of MCA Gombak division) ordered his people to burn the Hindu Temple in Taman Daya, Kepong because he needed the place to make a furniture store business, this happened a few years ago. Everyone knows what is being done for the Hindu Temple in Taman Daya, Kepong. Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
And we need to share all detail information about this YIP KUM FOOK & SAMNAK SAMBODHI to all Buddhist devotees in the world…. this YIP KUM FOOK will more suffer and he will vomit out in what he eats…KARMA...OK
f anyone receives or reads a message on the internet, please inform YIP KUM FOOK who is the president of SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST TEMPLE, Taman Desa Jaya, Kepong, Kuala Lumpur, and ask him to resign all positions at the Temple as soon as possible
We Buddhists are too embarrassing and this YIP KUM FOOK is doing too many dirty things for our Buddhists, now the whole world knows what the problem is SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST TEMPLE but this YIP KUM FOOK still doesn’t feel anything
This YIP KUM FOOK but still doesn’t know anything and still holds the position of president of SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST TEMPLE, why! He doesn’t embarrass people, maybe he’s out of brain balance
YIP KUM FOOK is a lawyer, MCA Gombak, Datuk, President of Buddhist Temple, etc. ... why did he do bad things and he is not loved and protect his family, in the future his family will suffer forever because they will face gossip people
