The YMBA, or Young Men's Buddhist Association, was first created in Sri Lanka as part of a bid to provide Buddhist institutions to rival Christian ones (in this case the YMCA). It has had many famous presidents such as the Cambridge-educated Philantrophist Sir Ernest de Silva. It also exists in other countries, although they seem to be independent organizations.
