The purpose of meditation is to be completely free from all the defilements.

"Be a light unto yourself" -------The Buddha------- Happy Vesak to you all!

Characteristics of Nibbana "Where consciousness is signless, boundless, all-luminous, That is where earth, water, fire and air find no footing, There both long and short, small and great, fair and foul,... There Name and Form are wholly destroyed. With the cessation of consciousness this is all destroyed." ~Kevadda Sutta ~ , , , , . . . . ~ ~

One New walking path was built and offered to the Great Community of Bhikkhu Sangha by Yasith Nanayakkara, his wife Pawithra Wijethunga and their beloved son along with their friends. May this wholesome action lead all who supported and participated to Nibbana! May all living beings be well! May all living beings be happy!! May all living beings be peaceful by the power of this wholesome action!!!... 11/07/2020

"The Tathagatha ( the blessed one ) acts as he speaks, and speaks as he acts. And we can find no teacher who does likewise, in every detail of doctrine, either in the past or in the present, other than the Tathagatha." " . . ."

Today the effort must be made; Tomorrow Death may come, who knows? No bargain with Mortality Can keep him and his hordes away,
