“The Path to Perfect Peace and Happiness”

‘‘සබ්බ පාපස්ස අකරණං
කුසලස්ස උපසම්පදා
සචිත්ත පරියෝදපනං
ඒතං බුද්ධාන’සාසනං’’

සියලුම අකුසල් නොම කර    ඉන්නේ
කුසල් දහම් බල එක්කර        ගන්නේ
තමන්ගේ සිත පිරිසිදු කර      ගන්නේ
මෙය අනුසස්නයි බුදුවර        යන්නේ

ධම්මපදය

“Sabba päpassa akaranan 
Kusalassa upasampadä  
Sachitta pariyö dapanan 
Etan Buddhänasäsanan”

Not to do any evil, to cultivate good, to purify one’s mind, this is the Teaching of the Buddhas.

Dhammapada

Welcome to our web page!

We offer you an opportunity to read and learn about Buddhism in the Theravada tradition. Theravada (Pali: Thera=elders, vada=doctrine) or the “doctrine of the elders” represents the school of Buddhism that draws spiritual inspiration from the Pali Canon (or “Tripitaka”) generally accepted by scholars as the oldest record of Buddha’s teachings.

Imparting knowledge with a view toward developing and improving another’s knowledge is Dhammadana in Buddhist terminology. The Buddha teaches us to appreciate the value of wisdom since it is the most valuable asset for a living being: hence, the need for us to develop our minds, as well as to help others to develop their knowledge.

There are two ways to achieve this end. One is by reading extensively on Buddha Dhamma. The other is by questioning that may invariably lead to discussion. It shall be our   endeavor to provide satisfactory answers to such queries.

Discussions on the following topics are welcome on this page:

  • Buddha Dhamma
  • Buddhist History
  • Buddhist Culture
  • Personal queries relevant to Buddhism

Thank you for your donation. We appreciate your generous support…
