Prior to the Presidential Elections, the General Secretary Ven. Galagodaatte Gnanasara Thera <\/strong>\u00a0made several attempts to join the Presidential Election campaign of Mr Mahinda Rajapakse.\u00a0 According to this Buddhist Monk, obtaining 5 million votes for MR through the BBS\u00a0 would be a easy task.\u00a0 His calculations were based on the assumptions (a) select 1000 Buddhist Temples supportive of MR\u00a0 and (b) harness 5000 votes for MR from each of villages attached to the 1000\u00a0 Temples.\u00a0\u00a0 MR was brave enough not to be deceived by this notorious Monk to provide him a platform in his campaign.\u00a0 MR during his period of Presidency tirelessly worked to bring Sinhalese, Tamils and Muslims into one camp of brotherhood.<\/p>\n

BBS General Secretary did create several ugly scenes in Aluthgama and Beruwala areas, harrassing the Muslims, pretending to be a supporter of Mr Gotabaya Rajapakse.\u00a0\u00a0 MR and GR had to work hard for the damage control whilst Mr Ranil Wickremasinghe and Mrs Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga made use of the opportunity to alienate Muslims from MR.\u00a0\u00a0 Mr Rauf Hakeem being the Minister of Justice of President Mahinda Rajapakse’s regime, did join hands with RW and CBK adding further fuel to the fire.\u00a0\u00a0 Consequently, MR did lose the battle to win the votes of Muslims.<\/p>\n

The recent remarks by President Mahinda Rajapkse about BBS are therefore based on solid foundation.<\/p>\n

Many Buddhists feel that being a Buddhist Monk is an attractive method of deceiving the masses.\u00a0\u00a0 Two prominent names in this category are none other than Ven. A(Shobitha) and Ven Galabodaatte Gnanasara Thero.\u00a0 Even there are some ordinary laymen who take a similar path of at least becoming a Buddhist Monk even for a short period, with the intention of portraying himself as a better Buddhist than others.\u00a0 One such person is none other than Mr Patali Champika Ranawaka, who on 9 May 2011 shaved his Head and observed Dasa Sil for 10 days at the\u00a0 Sadaham Sevana Viharaya, Gothami Road, Rajagiriya.\u00a0 The main objective of becoming a temporary Buddhist Monk ( or known as Heeraluwa, after completing Monkhood) to “engage in meditation and observance of Seela\u00a0 for all their wordly pleasures\u00a0 and responsibilities, abstaining from committing\u00a0 any wrongdoing by way of speech or sight”.\u00a0 <\/strong>Has Patali, (who is a divorced man with 2 daughters), found peace of mind after the 10 days?\u00a0 These are the Buddhists who insult the Buddhism, using it for their own benefit and pleasure to attract attention. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

BBS\u00a0 and its General Secretary has given its full blessings to Mr Patali Champika Ranawaka.\u00a0 According to BBS, PaCha Ranawaka is the most suitable person to become “Sinhala Buddhist President” of Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n

As MR had no connection with BBS, the BBS is now free to campaign for PaCha Ranawaka to make him the “Sinhala Buddhist Executive Prime Minister “.\u00a0 Sadhu, Sadhu.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
