Description
While the international media coverage the instability and conflict between Sinhalese and the Tamils with regards to their different ethic and religious. However what lie
beyond this political conflict is the beauty in life of Sri Lanka people. During Sangha Day or Magha Puja Day or Fourfold Assembly Day is commemorates the Buddha's visit to Veruvana Monastery in the city of Rajagaha, when 1,250 arhats are said to have spontaneously returned from their wanderings to pay their respects to the Buddha. Sangha Day is celebrated on the full moon day of the third lunar month (March). At Kelaniya Raja Maha Viharaya temple I witness mothers breastfeeding their babies , at The Seema Malakaya Temple in the Beira Lake I withness a Hindu born man who look after this Buddhist temple. At the Galle beach there a group of Buddhist from rural area come to play cheerfully, above tem are the old cannon aim outward to the sea it was use by the empire against other empire, Today the colonize rule have long past what the people in this peaceful island found is not the enemy from outside world but among their own citizen.
