Head thero's words

"Dear devotees, This sacred place is prepared for the supreme Dhamma of Lord Buddha, a place like a wall around this temple, which is being built as a meditation center for the healing of the human heart, I will offer gratitude to all of you who dedicate yourself to it. This temple is in a land of historical value, with religious and social aspects of Sri Lankan culture. It is also being prepared as a research center for meditation to enhance the mental well-being of the devotees. I would like to offer my gratitude to all who have contributed to the well-being of this institution so far."

Ven. Bambarande Sumedha Thero
