Lately we find that there are over seven Buddhist channels in Sri Lanka .In other religious countries you will not find so many religious channels .When you scroll internet you will find thousands of YOUTUBE Buddhist sermons and mediation classes.<\/p>\n

Some monks and laymen who practice meditation and \u00a0deliver sermons claim the meditation is not required to become enlightened to \u00a0achieve Sothapana\u201d- the first stage of enlightenment .They say that people should listen to analysis given in Tripitaka by Buddha<\/p>\n

They criticize each other,One prominent monk has severely criticized another one who globe troll in the world practicing Nirpekshatwaya which he claims is the corrects word for Nirvana .He was blamed for misguiding the laymen in finding the path to attain Nirvana at the end of current life,General opinion among everybody is that you have to go thru many re births and collect Karma to reach Nirvana .<\/p>\n
