Sudath Gunasekara 29th April 2018 12th Century Royal decree prohibiting killing King Kirthi Nissanka Malla of Polonnaruwa Ordering by the beat of the drum that no animals should be killed within a radius of seven gaus from the city, he gave security to animals. He also gave security to the fish in the twelve great tanks, and bestowing on (the region’s people) gold and cloth and whatever other kind of wealth they wished; he commanded them not to catch birds and so gave security to birds….” This inscription, which is engraved in an upright stone slab at Ruwanweliseya, Anuradhapura, is a transcript of a decree issued in the late12th Century by King Kirthi Nissanka Malla of Polonnaruwa. It is reflective of the high moral concern that the rulers and people of Sri Lanka showed towards animal life in ancient times. As the Mahavamsa says those days the Kings were one with the religion and the people. They never tormented the subjects by imposing unbearable taxes and going by the Dharmasokian principles of statecraft (save purisa mama paja) they considered the subjects as their own children King Sirisangabo said Iman saraththan pisitam sareeram dharemi lokassa hitatta meva” This body of mine with blood and flesh, I bear, for the benefit of people. Remember those days the Kings were not elected by the people, unlike today as such in fact they were not under obligation to treat the subjects like that. They were only bound by custom, tradition and religion. Look at the way how shabbily our politicians who rise to power on our shoulders treat us even after coming to power through our vote. See the difference since then and now? A little thought to ponder.

Sudath Gunasekara 28.4.2018 As I had pointed out in Lankaweb sometime back the whole country knows that, It was Ranil Wickramasinha who brought his buddy Arjuna Mahendran to Sri Lanka and got him appointed, as preplanned, as the Governor of the Central Bank in spite of strong objections raised by the President, who is only the de jure Head of the State It was he who invited him to come offering the Governorship of the CB It was he who got the CB under him from the Finance Ministry to accommodate Arjun M as conspired. It was he who took full responsibility personally for his selection and insisted that Mahendran should be appointed, when the President objected Mahendram being appointed. When the matter was raised in Parliament it was Ranil who defended him in the House on 17th March 2017 and stood for his credentials. It was also Ranil who introduced the new system of Bond auctions as revealed by Arjuna Mahendran before the commission in his evidence It was also Ranil who got the President to dissolve Parliament in August 2017 a day before the Dew Gunasekara COPE Report was to be presented to Parliament and thereby avoided the Report being debated in Parliament to defend Mahendran. (This lapse paved the way for the second Bond Scam the subject of the present debate) He also appointed his own commission of Party lawyers and got Mahendran exonerated before the President appointed his Commission Then he also wanted Mahendran appointed for a Second term which the President refused and got Coomaraswamy appointed After that Ranil appointed Mahendran to another high post under his Ministry disregarding and ignoring his highly questionable role in the CB scam and also ignoring the President, probably thinking that it was he who got Mr Sirisena elected as the President, which is partly true. When he was asked to give evidence before the Commission he got the Commission to send him a list of questions to be asked AT THE INQUIRY in advance, so that he can come prepared to answer them, perhaps designed to exonerate him. This is like the Commissioner of Examinations sending the Question papers to a candidate and accepting his answer scripts at the examiners home and pass him with distinction. What is more he got his own Attorney General to lead his evidence, who did a shoddy job to save his master preventing Kodagoda or Dappula Livera cleverly leading evidence, that would have turned the tides He also got Ravi Karunanayaka the Finance Minister his confidante and Deputy Leader of the UNP to instruct all State Banks to bid at the auction at lower interest (9.5%) so that Ajun Aloysius, who was perhaps advised in advance either by Mahendran, his father-in-law, with whom he was living or jointly by Ranil and Mahendran to quote 12.5 % interest as pre-planned. He was also responsible for increasing the 10 billion to 40 billion as Mahendran has revealed in his evidence before the Commission that increased the loss to Government It was also he who got Sujiva Serasinha, the Author of the infamous Book on CB SCAM, and got him appointed to the COPE as a member. It was also he who sent Mahendran to Singapore when dark clouds were gathering over the sky. (It is beyond comprehension how and why a suspect of such a crime was allowed to leave the country by the Custom Authorities, unless there was some powerful intervention behind it). Ranil should know better than anybody else as to how he left Katunayaka Airport without any problem. Ranil knows better than any if Mahendran is arrested and grilled by the CID and by people like Dappula Livera and Kodagoda he will spill out all the beans and the entire gang of Alibaba and 40 thieves and all others who have jointly conspired, aided and abetted in different ways assigned to them by the leader, like writing books, adding foot notes and those benefitted directly or indirectly will be exposed). In this backdrop I don’t think this man will ever come to Sri Lanka. The perpetrators must have done their homework so that he could be kept in hiding safely. Why can’t the President or the law enforcing authorities take action against Ranil taking these commitments as evidence of serious crimes and take action accordingly? Of cause one could argue that he cannot be treated under that law as he has not duly singed a personal bond in court to that effect. But I argue as to why we can’t take his open undertaking to the President (unless of cause the President denies it most probably) on behalf of Mahendran be accepted as a verbal bond under common law. I am sure what I have said here could be converted to legal jargon to frame the charges. Why can’t the President direct the authorities to arrest Ranil under these circumstances and keep him there at least now until he produces Mahendran before the court? I am sure he should have met Mahendran in Singapore when he was there last time and if he wanted to, I am sure he could have brought Mahendran with him in the same plane and produced in courts without any problem. Therefore the citizens of this country who are the owners of the Central Bank should demand the President to give directions to the CID at least now to arrest the Golden brain, whoever it is, that conspired, planned and executed this crime with a gang of thieves and who is also doing everything he could, under the sun to protect Mahendran his erstwhile friend for nothing but shear political and personal gain. I don’t think anybody needs to name him. The President should know it better than anybody else. So I leave it to him to decide. I do not know whether he will take the correct decision. But as responsible citizens it is our duty by the country and its people to raise these issues for public debate. If he takes the correct decision on this issue at least now I have no doubt that he will at least partially exonerated from the blunder he did by appointing Mahendran and may emerge out of the abysmal political mire in to which he has fallen, not because of anybody else’s fault, but only of his own fault and lapses and lack of far sight and leadership. It will also open the doors for an entirely a new political culture in this country, free from corruption and misgovernment, which the people of this country have been desperately dreaming for decades. No one on earth will believe that Ranil does not know where Mahendran is hiding. As such why can’t the law enforcing authorities get Ranil to bring and produce this man whether he on earth or in heaven. Those of you who read this will know many more involvements and finer legal points than I do. I beg your pardon for shortcomings in this note. PS: The background for his selection Mahendrans are Ranil’s Family friends and strong UNP supporters. Mahendran is also said to be his school mate at Royal. He has been appointed to several posts even in 2001 when Ranil became PM. During that time he also appointed Charless Mahendran, Ajun’s farther to the UN. While he was there he is supposed to have given some vital secret information to Ranil bypassing Chandrika, over which Chandrika got damn annoyed and dissolved the Parliament making room for the 2004 General Elections that routed Ranil’s Government and sent him to the opposition. It is in this background one has to understand as to why Ranil brought Mahendran to the Central Bank. In this back drop, there couldn’t be the slightest doubt that Ranil should know where Mahnedran is hiding. As such I opine it is Ranils bounden duty as well as legal obligation to produce him before the CID, failing which, action has to be taken against him. This I believe is the responsibility of the President, as he is also responsible for this gang robbery as it was he who has actually appointed Mahendran as the Governor of the CB and also it was he who even though inadvertently supported Ranil in this mega robbery by failing to take the correct action at the correct time. In this backdrop, and also as he has stood surety to Mahendran why can’t the court arrest Ranil and ask him to produce Mahendran physically before the courts and keep him where he should be until he produces his chum.

Celebrating Vesak in April, a joke – prelatePosted on April 23rd, 2018 http://www.island.lk/index.php?page_cat=article-details&page=article-details&code_title=183592 By Cyril Wimalasurendra Courtesy The Island April 23, 2018, 11:54 pm All other Buddhist nations, the world over, are making grand preperations to celebrate Vesak Poya Day, on May 29, and it is absurd for Sri Lanka to celebrate Vesak on April 29, Malwatte Anunayake Ven. Niyangoda Sri Vijithasiri Thera says. Even the international Vesak Day was celebrated, on May 29, the Thera said yesterday. “According to tradition, Sri Lankans celebrate Vesak in May. However, the government has decided to celebrate Vesak in April. No one has the right to change the Vesak Poya Day.” “The Poya Day, which falls on April 29, is the Bak Poya Day. Although there is nothing wrong with considering it an ‘Adhi Pasaloswaka Poya Day,’ it cannot be regarded as the Vesak Poya Day. Adhi Poya occurs, when two full moon days fall in the same month.” Ven. Vijithasiri Thera said: “Buddhists, in other countries, including Thailand, Cambodia, Tibet, Vietnam, China, Myanmar and India, celebrate the Vesak on the Poya Day, which falls in May. Sri Lankan Mahanayaka and Anunayake Theras have been invited to the International Vesak Celebrations, to be held on May 29.” Visakha Puja Day (Wesak Day) In the year 2018 (2561), Wesak Day falls on 29 May 2018 (29 พฤษภาคม 2561) You may also read on the Self Practice During Wesak (Visakha) Day. The Visakha Puja or the Full Moon Day of the sixth lunar month is considered the most important the reason being that three unique events concerning the Buddha occurred on such Full Moon day of that month. Firstly, Queen Maha Maya gave birth to a son, Prince Siddhattha on the Full Moon Day of the lunar month of May. Secondly, thirty five years later the Prince, on the Full Moon Day of May became the Buddha, the Awakened One. Thirdly, forty five years later on the Full Moon Day of May, the Englightened One passed away. His teaching, doctrine and discipline have attained universal recognition and have become memorials to him. As Buddhists know, the personal name of Lord Buddha was Siddhatta Gotama, and taht he was the only son of King Suddhodana and Queen Maha Maya of the Sakyan. The Prince was born under a banyan tree in the Lumbini Grove located between the two cities of Kapilavatthu and Devadaha. Seven days after his birth, his mother passed away and so he was nurtured by his foster mother, Maha Pajapati Gotami who was the youngest sister of his father. At the age of sixteen the Prince married the beautiful Princess Yasodhara, the daughter of King Suppabuddha of the Kolyan. Thirteen years of luxurious married life gave the Prince adequate experience in realisation of the insubstantiality of worldly life. At twenty nine, not long after his wife Yasodhara had given birth to a son, Rahula, the Prince decided to renounce wordly life for a homeless one devoting himself to a disciplined quest for spiritual satisfaction. He spoke to his disciples about the two possible goals to which men devote their lives, that is, the noble or holy quest as described in the Ariyapariyesana Sutta, and the ignoble or unholy quest. Due to the delusion of self man is subject to Dukkha (suffering or a sense of unsatisfactoriness) which is clearly evident in the process of decay and death. The ignoble quest, to which many devote their lives, consists in seeking after things or states which are really unsatisfactory due to their inherent state of flux or change, the very conditions from which deliverance is needed.

Where are our Buddhist leaders and clergy who should have intervened to rectify this abnormality. Charles Says: April 25th, 2018 at 12:30 am Sirisena and Ranils Yahapalanaya is not a peoples Government it is an anti Sinhala Buddhist Government of the West and the Tamils and the Tamil Diaspora. We the Sinhala Buddhists should rise agaist these traitors. Even in the Lanka web there are few who speak for the Sinhala Buddhists. Yahapalanaya has released 685 acres of land to Tamils. The Settlement of displaced Sinhala from North and east are completely neglected. Sajith Premadasa is building houses but what about resettling the Sinhala in the North and East. They are reconciling with the Tamils while the Tamil Provincial Councillors go to Mulathivu Sambodhi Vihara in Kokuvil and ask the high priest for the deed for the land where the temple is built. Maithripala Sirisena Ranil wickramasinghe have still not made a statement. The Mahanayakes too have said nothing. This is a serious matter. Further reconciliation with Tamils should be stopped immediatately. Nihal Perera Says: April 25th, 2018 at 5:28 am The Sinhala-Buddhists need to wake up and take charge of the future of our motherland. The first step is to get rid of these anti Sinhala-Buddhist parasites in the present regime. Ranil/Sira and their supporters in this government are the biggest crooks in the country. These traitors have sold the country and continue to do so as long as they can milk the system. Ranil is a cunning, master-crook who will sell his mother to stay in power. Sirisena is a naïve idiot who has no idea what he is doing. The result is a disaster for the country, as we are already beginning to see the consequences.. ranjit Says: April 25th, 2018 at 7:01 am Current Yamapalanaya yamaballo should be sent to hell for what they are doing to our Motherland, sinhala race and to our sacred religion Buddhism. Enough is enough we sinhala buddhists must act now before these foreign backed Yamapalanaya yamaballo destroy everything we owned,we earned,we loved, we inherited and we cannot just stay idle and allow these traitors within and abroad to meddle with our affairs. Maha sanga should not sleep and do nothing when Buddhism is threatened. Talking and do nothing is useless. This is the time for action. Not once, not twise, not thrice these traitors and conspirators have tried to harm us but several times in different ways in different places inside our Motherland. We saw so many incidents around the country which threatens our sacred religion Buddhism and maha sanga but to-date no one in this Yamapalanaya has opened their mouths against these incidents or against the culprits or the traitors. Muslims and Tamils cannot dictate to us while they enjoy all the benefits which the rest of the country enjoys. Spineless President and the prime minister must resign and leave immediately before the people in this country chase them away and branded them as traitors to the motherland. They haven’t done anything useful to this country for the last three years except taking us backwards with their stupid undemocratic decisions and actions. Time has come for patriots to come forward and voice their anger against the Yamapalanaya yamaballo. Hell is the only place for these traitors who do not have any love for their motherland. helaya Says: April 25th, 2018 at 7:30 am Dear Friends, I received this email from Professor Asoka Bandarage about tamil organized meeting in congress.

Dear FOSUS Member, The Tamil Diaspora has organized a panel on Religion and Violence in Sri Lanka at the House Rayburn Building on Thursday at 3:30 PM (see attached notice for details).

Wadakaya knows this is the best time to deliver the killer blow to destroy Buddhism, Sri Lanka and the Sinhalese race to please traitor low life leech’s ardent supporters tamils, mussies, catholics and the catholic west. These traitors are followers of religions of conveniences which don’t regard killing, stealing, lying, sexual misconduct,drug abuse (Buddhism’s five precepts) as sins while all the people (honest only) including all the law courts under the sun do. Traitor low lives are hell bent on destroying only true religion, Buddhism, in the world and as a result accrue a lot of sins and won’t be two legged creatures in their next lives. Good for Mother Lanka. Google traitor catholic run UNPatriotic_rats party’s anti Buddhist, anti Sinhalese, anti Sri Lanka activities. Or google how Batalande Wadakaya’s UNPatriotic_rats party try to break up Sri Lanka to give half to its catholic buddy barrel man hitler mala paharan. Or ask why UNPatriotic_rats burnt Buddhist jvpers alive, headless corpses in rivers etc while catholic tigers of tamil drealam were given half the country on a plate by the die hard catholic token Buddhist Batalande Wadakaya. What’s more r@ni_leech’s catholic mafia broke into CB and the fat thief got away with murder (billions). While UNPatriotic_rats busy digging the grave for Buddhism, Sinhalese race and Sri Lanka, still a lot ofjaathi dhrohee Sinhala booruwas support these murderous (Sinhalese only), thieving traitors. For theUNPatriotic_rats Fastest Breeding Religion’s mussies votes more important than Sinhala modayas since they are easily fooled with one big lie! Only recently Batalande wadakaya’s fellow portuguese national gamini perera banned Vesak (pandols). Actually it wanted to ban Vesak like in 60s Vietnam. It is too drastic and Sinhala modayas going to notice it and the portuguese national went for pandols. Chicken with fox is more safe than Buddhism, Sinhalese race and Sri Lanka under these murderous (Sinhalese only), thieving, lying traitor UNPatriotic_rats! charithsls Says: April 25th, 2018 at 1:27 pm Preposterous! While all know about Ranil (& the UNP) of the anti Buddhist stance, shall we look at our Buddhist leaders. The Poya Days are determined & printed at the end of the previous year, so where were our Buddhist clergy until the Ven Malwatte Anunayake said so recently? Any other Mahanayake should have brought this to the public notice & protested vehemently if this was the reason. Govt as well as the big opposition leaders pay a regular homage to Dalada & to other Buddhist Mahanayakes & I fail to understand not a single one of them has protested before. What about bodies like YMBA & All Buddhist Congress etc? Either this story is false or something somewhere terribly wrong. Fran Diaz Says: April 25th, 2018 at 2:33 pm Lanka Law ought to make certain items unchangeable and non-negotiable. The top of such a List ought to have that, by Law, Sri Lanka cannot be divided up through Language, Religion, etc. Such an attempt should be considered an act of treason and the death penalty imposed on such persons. Second, that Buddhism is always given primary place, and protected by the State. Otherwise, the gentle Teachings of the Buddha will always be ousted by ‘stronger’ Others, won’t it ? The Buddha used his super normal powers to vanquish evil in all its forms. Ordinary mortals must use the Law. The Full Moon day in the month of May has always been the traditional Vesak Day. Keep it so. No reason good enough to change that tradition. Part of the Vesak celebrations ought to include mass Sil gatherings. It is a wonderful celebration to find great Peace & Happiness, Within, through Meditation. It is heartening to note that the Parliament has thrown out the suggestion by the Ministry concerned that Pandals & Dan Salas be abolished. Protect Sri Lanka through the Law of the Land, or prepare to divide the country via the 20-A, which is probably a piece of legislation coming from the ‘divide & rule’ groups abroad with local seviles in tow. Susantha Wijesinghe Says: April 25th, 2018 at 3:19 pm THERE IS STILL MORE TIME LEFT FOR ALL BUDDHISTS TO COME OUT ON VESAK DAY AND VIST TEMPLES FOR PRAYERS. THERE CAN BE BUDDHIST PROCESSIONS FROM TEMPLES. THE SANGHA MUST ORGANISE THAT. VESAK HAS TO BE CELEBRATED ON FULL MOON DAY, PERIOD. THE TWO PAMBAYAS CAN STAY AT HOME. Hiranthe Says: April 25th, 2018 at 8:03 pm This treacherous act of Yama Palanaya is so frustrating. Similar to Ramadhan which is advanced every year and moving all-round the year as per the lunar calendar, Wesak poya day cannot be moved up or down. It is meant for celebrating Lord Buddha’s Birth, Enlightenment and Parinirvana all three happened on the Full moon day on the month of Wesak. Month of May is called Wesak” in Sinhala for a valid reason. It is connected to the season prevailing during that period. It is not by accident that the price Siddhartha was born on that day. The Bodhisatwa, prior to conceiving in the womb of Queen Maha Maya, checked five important things and decided to come to earth on the certain date. Timing was one of these five factors considered by the Bodhisatwa. By interfering with all these holy things this Yamapalanaya is asking for a big wrath of people and shall face the music. Maha Sanga should take the lead and decide to overrule this declaration and instruct the people to celebrate Wesak on the Full Moon day in the month of Wesak (May) If they do not do that, we cannot call them anymore as the guardian of the Buddha Sasana. They then become a part of the Yama-palanaya. ranjit Says: April 25th, 2018 at 11:19 pm Hiranthe you are very correct when you were saying that vesak day celebration means lord buddha’s birth, enlightenment and parinirvana all three happened on the full moon day on the month of vesak. This is not a joke. Maha sanga and the Buddhist population cannot just stay idle when some assholes change the buddhist calendar. This must be stopped. I am not ready to observe vesak on April 29th. It’s damn wrong decision by this treacherous traitors of Yamapalanaya. It should be on may 29th vesak month as we were observing for many many years. How on earth can maha sanga describe this day as the day lord Buddha was born and enlighten and so on? Why they are mute? Why the buddhist organisations are silent on this. Whom are they afraid of? Time has come to act if not very sorry for sinhala buddhist in this country. Theses treacherous dog’s who lifts their backs to white man and helps to destroy our sacred religion Buddhism and the sinhala race should be severely dealt with to protect our sinhala motherland. Dear patriots the time is running out therefore we need to organise and stand up against our enemies to the motherland pretty soon if not theses three spinless traitors Sira, Ranil Chandrika will sell out the country we love and care so much. Long live srilankan nation. helaya Says: April 26th, 2018 at 8:34 am The reason behind celebrating Vesak in April is RAMADAN fall on May 20th to early June. traitors gave into Muslim demand. Muslim does not want to see celebrating Vesak during their stupid Ramadan. I cant believe this. Sirisena if you are a real Buddhist wake up from sleep. Sri lanka becoming Saudi Arabia. My comments Has this country been already converted to a non-Sinhala Non-Buddhist country by this Government? Isn’t there a single Buddhist Monk or a national leader who can ask the President to cancel this April 29th UNP Wesak and refix it to May 29th or step down forthwith without further destroying the Sinhala Buddhist nation and this country our forefathers have protected for us dying in millions in war for 2600 years for the sake of minority vote If he refuses why can’t they call all Sinhala Buddhist not to observe 29th April as Wesak and do so on 29th May Sudath Gunasekara |
