“කොළඹ, ගංගාරාම විහාරස්ථානයේ දී පූජනීය දෙව්නිමෝරි ධාතු ප්රදර්ශනය විවෘත කිරීම සම්බන්ධයෙන් ජනාධිපති අනුර කුමාර දිසානායක මැතිතුමාට කෘතඥතාවය පළ කරමි.
මාගේ 2025 අප්රේල් සංචාරය අතරතුරදී මෙම ධාතුන් වහන්සේලා ශ්රී ලංකාවට වැඩම කරවන බවට තීරණය කරන ලද අතර ඒ අනුව ජනතාවට ධාතුන් වහන්සේලා වන්දනා කිරීමේ අවස්ථාව හිමි වී තිබේ. අප දෙරට ගැඹුරු ශිෂ්ටාචාරමය සහ ආධ්යාත්මික සබඳතාවන්ගෙන් බැඳී පවතී. දයානුකම්පාව, සාමය සහ සමඟිය පිළිබඳ බුදුන් වහන්සේගේ අකාලික පණිවිඩය තවදුරටත් මනුෂ්ය වර්ගයාට මඟ පෙන්වනු ලැබේවා!
