K. Sri Dhammananda (March 18, 1919 - August 31, 2006) was a Sri Lankan-born Buddhist monk and scholar.

Born Martin Garmage in the village of Kirinde in Matara, Sri Lanka, Dhammananda spent most of his life and career in Malaysia. He was ordained as a novice monk (samanera) at the age of 12 and was fully ordained in 1940. After arriving in Malaysia—then known as Malaya—in 1952, Dhammananda established himself as the foremost Theravada Buddhist monk in Malaysia and Singapore. His many books are widely read, and contributed greatly to introducing Buddhism to many English-speakers in Southeast Asia and beyond.

Dhammananda died on August 31st 2006. (from here)
