An open letter to all patriotic Sinhala Buddhists in this country and the world over
Posted on November 26th, 2025
Dr Sudath Guanasekara: Former Permanent Secretary to Prime Minister Sirimavo Bandaranayaka and the founder of the HADABIMA Authority of Sri Lanka.
I want to draw your immediate attention to “Puujaniiya mahanuwara’ on WhatsApp, to see an alarming and depressing statement made by an unpatriotic buffoon politician of this government Sunil Senaviratna / Minister of Cultural Affairs who was supposed to have made the following statement to the press.
This statement must be true as neither he nor the Government has denied it so far. I think it confirms his anti-Sinhala anti Buddhist and blasphemous statement made by this JVP Minister as well as that of this anti-Sinhala Anti-Buddhist.
As a first step all the Buddhist in this country in my opinion, led by the entire Sangha fraternity headed by the 4 Mahaanayaka Theras of Malwatta, Asgiriya, Amarapura and Raamangcha should ask the President to order this mad Minister to withdraw his blasphemous anti- Sinhala anti- Buddhist and ludicrous and unconstitutional statement immediately and tender an unconditional open and public apology to the Mahaanayaka Theras, the Buddhist clergy, the Diyawadananilame and the entire Buddhist community of this country. He also should make a public apology to all the Sinhala Buddhists all over the world, for the humiliation and disgrace he had made to the Sammaa Sambuddha Saasana by making such an irreligious, tribal and cheap political public statement to confuse the entire Buddhist world. The seriousness and the gravity of his statement become more dangerous and sacrilegious as he belongs to a non-Buddhist minority community in this country of the Sinhala Buddhists that had been so for the past 2567 years without any brake.
The whole country knows that both these idiots (The Mister and his Deputy/ who is also an extremist Wahabis, are non-Buddhists and pessimists. The President, if he is a true Buddhist, who has appointed these two buffoons to be in charge of this most important National Ministry should be ashamed and therefore take full responsibility for this utterly irresponsible public statement made by one of his erstwhile Ministers in the Cabinet, apparently who has no head. It is even more surprising that the President who is supposed to be a Sinhala Buddhist has not taken any disciplinary action against this lunatic.
This Minister also has already scrapped the Ministry of Buddhist Affairs in this Sinhala Buddhist country, that had been the state religion of the country from 307 BC, that was always accepted by the King and the subjects alike, as the rock foundation of the civilization of this country. Even now it has been provided with the foremost place even in the 1978 Constitution under Sec 9 of after it was made so, by the 1972 Republican Constitution under Sec 6 for the first time since 1948, thanks to that Great Bauddha Mahopaasikava, Prime Minister Sirimavo Bandaranayake.
These two non-Buddhists have already have already violated the Sec 9 of the Constitution for which the major Buddhist Associations or even some agitated Buddhist should file a case against these two Minister immediately demanding to take action against them and also to remove them from this Ministry immediately.
Meanwhile I am lost to understand as to why the Guardian Gods” of the nation, the Sangha fraternity led by the 4 Mahanayaka Theras, the Diyawadana Nilame the leader of the lay Buddhists in this country and the Buddhist Associations like the Samastha Lanka Bauddha Sammelanaya, Jathika Ekabaddathaa Bala Mandalaya and other National Sinhala Buddhists organizations are doing, without taking these two into task and ask the President to sack these misfit Ministers immediately and send them to eternal political wilderness. If the President fails to sack them and take other punitive actions against them immediately, I can vouch that will the doomsday of his government is not very far.
On the part of the historic national leaders like the Mahaanayaka theras and the others in the Sangha fraternity to rise up in unison and make a clarion call even now, to sack these two idiots from their portfolios. It is their bounden duty as national leaders of the nation to rise up against any one however powerful they may be, to remove them from power when they misgovern. In my experience all politicians in this country are only five-year contractors who have come to temporary power to ruin the nation and make as much as possible for generations whereas the four Mahanayak Theras are the national leaders of this country for life. As such it is their birth right and mandatory responsibility by the nation, the country and the Sasana to take action against these self-seeking five-year contractors before things get even worse?
Why can’t they understand that Anura Disanayaka is first, fulfilling only the Contract given to him by the IMF, the World Bank and the so-called International Organizations of the ex-Colonial Euro -Atlantic Club, who are trying to complete their diabolical mission of wiping out the Sinhala Buddhist nation from the surface of this planet, which they failed to do with the power of the sword, the gun and the Bible, which was initiated by the Portuguese in 1505 and taken over by the Dutch and the British later and brutally and savagely imposed on us nearly for 500 years and are conspiring now to complete their dream mission to destroy the Sinhala Buddhist Civilization in this country by the mechanism of neo colonialism, with the help of global network of the so– called International organizations that got multiplied after the formation of the Bretton wood Agreement in1944 that was formed as an international accord signed in July 1944 by delegates from 44 colonial powers at the United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire. Its implicit goal was to create a stable post-World War II international economic system by establishing a framework for fixed exchange rates and promoting free trade. The agreement led to the creation of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank to realize these objectives. But a closer examination of all these institutions at present clearly shows their explicit and hidden objectives are starkly different.
Second, he is also aspiring to realize their anti -Sinhala and anti-Buddhist class vengeance and Marxian political goals which his party failed to achieve in 1971, 1989 and even thereafter for a period of 53 years.
The post Bretton wood era was the beginning of the neo-colonial exploitation of the countries that were once under their control, that is to keep the colonial countries eternally tied down to the former colonial club.
In this backdrop I call upon these national leaders led by the Mahanayaka Theras to
1 Ask the President to sack these two Ministers immediately from their portfolios and also remove them from Parliament and finally remove their civil rights as well, for violating Sec 9 of the Constitution and remove their civil rights as well disqualify them from doing politics for life as they are unfit to hold any public position in this Sinhala Buddhist country.
as they have already violated the Constitution by going against the 9th Amendment that has given the foremost place to Buddhism in this country.
If The President is not prepared to comply with that call, then all Buddhist led by the Mahanayaka Theras and the entire sangha fraternity in the country and lay Buddhists public of the whole country led by the Diyawadana nilame should demand this anti- Sinhala and anti- Buddhist government also to resign and go home to save this 2567-year-old Sinhala Buddhist civilization in this country.
If the President doesn’t respond positively, they should call upon the whole nation to rise up in unison and chase out this pack of anti-Sinhala, anti -Buddhist pack of political misfits before they make it fully irreversible and unretractable and also call upon the patriotic masses to take necessary steps immediately to save this country, the Sinhala nation and Buddha sasana and it’s pristine Sinhala Buddhist civilization, which their patriotic and brave ancestors had founded in 543 BC and protected at very high cost for millennia from the 2nd century BC up to date, by paying with their blood and flesh at very high cost defeating all invaders, both Indian and the savages European colonial invaders and murderers.
I am making this plea to all Sinhala Buddhists the world over desperately, on behalf of my motherland, the Sinhala nation and the protection of the Samma Sambuddha Sasana, with love in my heart and malice towards none, in any other community or religion, but charity for all, as protecting these precious three jewels, is my only last wish at this late age in my life.
