<span style='color:blue'>Yes. Not only was Anagarika Dharmapala a contemporary of Swami Vivekananda, both of them were together in Chicago's World Parliament of Religions in 1893. Both of these leaders - Vivekananda, Dharmapala along with another very important leader to mention - Coomaraswami, had shaken the congress by taking a united position of Hinduism-Buddhism-Sikhism-Jainism that they took in the conference.
Vivekananda, in response to someones provocation in a Q/A session, had even replied saying that, "Unlike Jews who killed Jesus, we Hindus worship Gautam Buddha as God incarnated."
