Chief Prelates of temples in Gampaha have jointly decided not to engage Ministers Mangala Samaraweera and Rajitha Senaratne and MP Chathura Senaratne in any religious activities held at temples in Gampaha.

This decision was taken yesterday (04) at the meeting of the Gampaha District Shasanarakshaka Bala Mandalaya.

However, the Minister of Finance Mangala Samaraweera responded to this decision by posting a message in Sinhala on Twitter.

He stated that Lord Buddha was a great man who didn’t close the doors to his temple to even persons like ‘Devadatta’.

    This fool does not know Buddhist History either .

    Devadatta is said to have joined the sangha along with Ananda, who was possibly his brother, in the 20th year of the Buddha’s ministry. Fifteen years later, strengthened by his friendship with the crown prince of Magadha, Ajatashatru, Devadatta proposed formally at a meeting of the sangha that the Buddha retire and hand over the leadership to him. This proposal was rejected, and Devadatta is said to have successfully instigated Ajatashatru to execute Bimbisara, his aged father and the king of Magadha. He is also said to have made three abortive attempts to bring about the Buddha’s death: by hiring assassins, by rolling a rock off a mountainside at him, and by arranging for a mad elephant to be let loose in the road at the time of the collection of alms.

    Sensing popular approval, Devadatta proposed stricter ascetic rules for the sangha. When these were refused, he persuaded some 500 of the Buddha’s followers to join in a secession.

    “FOOL” is the most appropriate word to this fool.
    Now he is teaching Buddha Dhamma to Sangha.

  3. Randeniyage Says:

    Buddha had no “DOORS” to close.
    Buddha rejected ALL RELIGIONS THAT EXISTED that time.
    If Buddha were alive today he will do the same yet again – one who knows Buddhism will never say ALL RELIGIONS (including Buddhism) ARE THE SAME, or “Buddha brought a message of peace to world”. These are the words of PURE FOOLS.

    I do not know what type maniac is Mangala Samaraweera. His actions clearly shows he that is retarded and is a traitor. He needs-to be impeached or fired.
