Where are the Buddhist organizations?
\nAre they formed simply to hold meetings, dansals, wesak celebrations and be invited for opening ceremonies?<\/p>\n

Do they not realize that they play a pivotal role in making sure the identity of the Buddhist heritage remains in Sri Lanka and work towards inculcating amongst the youth and adult the needed nationalism that would ensure we do not fall prey to multicultural, liberal and interfaith agenda…. alas the Pope became the heroes of the Buddhists? WHY because not a single Buddhist organization was brave enough to demand an apology for the crimes of the Church, instead they were like the former President willing to go and kneel down and kiss the hand of the Pope whose Vatican is a Government and a country that is workgn towards expanding their flock of people by conversions.<\/p>\n

WAKE UP Buddhists.. before long your children will be going to church because you and your organizations have failed to deliver…. and there is no karma worse than playing a role in the demise.<\/p>\n

Have you had a look at the new cabinet. Do none of your organizations plan to demand why the Buddha sasana ministry should now be Buddhist Affairs… if you cant write in English why don’t you hire some writers … if you cant write in English write in Sinhala.<\/p>\n

ALL YOUR ASSOCIATIONS CAN DO IS TO FIGHT AND BICKER AND BACKSTAB AMONGST EACH OTHER WHILE THE CHRISTIANS\/CATHOLICS\/WAHHABIS WILL RUN OFF WITH THE COUNTRY…<\/p>\n

WAKE UP AND FIGHT FOR YOUR COUNTRY….<\/p>\n
