Sri Natha Ahasthana International Buddhist

M o n a s t e r y

Rev. Aluwihare Paripunnaka Thero

 

“ To secure "SELF" different kinds of fighting methods were used but could not stop fear, shock, quake and pain. I realized the fault and understood that the only true path Lord Buddha preached was the Noble Dhamma. Until "SELF" is within you fear, shock, quake and pain is with you. Once "SELF" leaves you there will be no fear, shock, quake and pain. When I realized it I went to discover the true Buddha path .”
