Grave concerns have been raised over the Chief Prelate of the Malwathu Chapter, Ven. Thibbatuwawe Sri Siddharta Sumangala thero sanctioning the activities of the Buddhist organisation Bodu Bala Sena (BBS).
In a meeting between the BBS and the Chief Prelate of the Malwathu chapter on April 23, BBS General Secretary Galagoda Aththe Gnanasara has been recorded pledging, that they would not continue any of their activities without the consent of the Chief Prelate.
“We will definitely heed your instructions; if you tell us tomorrow to stop, we will. But we will never stop because of the words of any politician – not even under pain of death. . .” Gnanasara told the Chief Prelate.
This pledge was made following a remark made by Ven. Thibbatuwawe Sri Siddharta Sumangala thera that concedes the unruly actions of the BBS.
He justifies the actions of the BBS stating, “Monks who voice their concerns publicly, do so in order to protect and preserve this country and the religion. Unfortunately, despite the many Ministers of this government, none have been able to offer effective solutions to the concerns expressed by the monks. . .”
He goes on to tell the BBS to ‘do something’, expressing a sense of desperation.
“In a newspaper I read, you had been quoted stating that you can create or topple governments. So do something!” he tells the unruly monk from BBS seated on his side.
Despite this meeting taking place over two months ago, it has been highlighted due to the comments made by the Chief Prelate of the Malwathu Chapter, to a monk who has been repeatedly criticised for his remarks that incites racial hatred. He is presently held responsible for the violence that occurred in the coastal towns of Beruwala and Aluthgama on Sunday that targeted Muslims, following a speech he made at a BBS rally in the area.
“It took only two months for Gnanasara to accomplish the task given to him by Malwatte Mahanayake” a peace loving Buddhist monk told Colombo Telegraph.
Apart form Chief Prelate, Ven, Dawuldena Gnanissara thero, the Mahanayake of the Amarapura Chapter, none of the monks of the highest Buddhist chapters, including , m M, have not condemned the Sundays attack against Muslims.

Why wasn’t the original BBS speech not shown to the venerable Mahanayake’s where gnanasara referred to them as “MAHANAKE PONNAYO”? I guess, even if shown the Mahanayake would have said SADU! SADU! SADU! The Aluthgama attack had nothing to do with Jamath, Wahabism or Jihad. This communal violence was perpetrated by the BBS with intent to ethnically cleanse Muslims from that part of the country through genocidal means.

It Took Barely Two Months For BBS Gnanasara To Carry Out Malwatte Mahanayake’s Orders

The so called Buddhists hypocrites elsewhere are now silent when a true Buddhists monk is kidnapped, tortured, sodomized, stripped and left to die by the road side. Now who do we attack for this attempted homicide?

After he was admitted to Panadura Base Hospital the hospital authorities have transferred him to Colombo National Hospital.
A resident had seen a naked person fallen near Bolgoda river in Kindelpitiya area at Bandaragama and has informed the police. Rev. Vijitha Thero’s identity card and the robe were found nearby.
Residents say they saw a three wheeler being driven to the place, throwing something out and quickly being driven away.
According to hospital sources Vijitha Thero’s genitals have been injured. Police say a statement could not be obtained from the Thero as he had been admitted to ICU.
Bhikkus of Bodu Bala Sena had attacked Vijitha Thero several times and were constantly harassing him. There had been firing near his temple recently.

Buddhism Betrayed / June 20, 2014
Dear Mr. Amarasiri,
Thank you for sharing the Lankatruth link.
I am shocked beyond belief and ashamed to be a Buddhist. We politically destroyed this country many years ago. We murdered democracy and has failed our nation. We disgraced and degraded our country into a scooter-taxi democracy. We did not stop here. We allowed our blood thirsty politicians like SWRD to hijack Buddhism and Sinhala language. By doing so, we took down the Buddhist Chakra and replaced that with a wheel of a “Karaththaya” (Bullock cart). Today that battered Chakra looks more like a wheel that flew out from a scooter taxi. This is inevitable. After all, we cremated democracy, buried liberty and justice, made a mockery of universal suffrage, deprived our citizens the basic universal rights by destroying the country. Ours’ today is a fascist Buddhist theocracy. Our Sinhala extremist have taken it one step further by managing to hoist the flag of a new nation, and we might as well call this the nation of “BUDDHISTAN” that is controlled by one family that pull the strings of the puppets that control the BUDDHIST TALIBAN – the BBS. We Buddhist watched, applauded and chanted SADU! SADU! SADU! Most other religions believe in the day of reckoning or judgement. We believe in Karma. May be this is our Karma that is destined for us.
With sympathies,
BB

Well do you really think that the Chief Prelate doesn’t know about it.
See how the blessings were given at the end to Gandasara.
I had a little respect for these mahanayakas but not any more.
Thibbatuwawe gama kewa.
King Pasenadi’s sixteenth dream – He saw a herd of goats hunting tigers and enjoying eating the tiger’s meat.
Buddha made the prediction that – Once the King consents to the wishes of the people the voted democratic government will soon be misguided and believing that they rightfully deserve their status, they misuse their power to benefit themselves and their siblings. Eventually there will be other equally powerful groups which to try to take over and this will endlessly go on. This type of event will happen in the distant future and we all will hear and see it.

Mahanayaka rebuffs Namal’s cheer
Why cant you oppose the BBS terrorist and Gnanasara who called everyone of the Maha Nayake’s “POONAYO”?
You oppose car races but no opposition to racial hatred. The frogs in our well have a better IQ than these fools!
Most Venerable . Most Pachable with No Buddhist Dhamma, Udugama Sri Buddharakkitha Thero, Maha Nayaka of the Asgiriya Chapter has opposed the motor races scheduled to be held in the Sacred Area in Kandy on the 27th and 28th of this month.
The Mahanayaka has said he would express his opposition to the President as well. He said having motor races in a small sacred city which is also a world heritage is not suitable at all. The Mahanayaka has said there are many number of places where motor races could be held and anyone organizing such an event should be able to find such places.

“Grave concerns have been raised over the Chief Prelate of the Malwathu Chapter, Ven. Thibbatuwawe Sri Siddharta Sumangala thero sanctioning the activities of the Buddhist organisation Bodu Bala Sena (BBS).”

So there are more followers of Mara in the Ranks of Sinhala Buddhist monks.
So these are the heads of the BBS Terrorism, and their supporters.
Therefore they terrorists.
What is the best wary the handle Terrorists?
Get the countries in the World to Brand BBS as a Terrorist organization, based on facts.
List of designated terrorist organizations

Sinhala Buddhism is a disgrace and an insult to the Buddha Sakyamuni. \
Today SInhala Modayas led by a bunch of UNEDUCATED, IGNORANT and CORRUPT Mahanayakas who live in luxury paid for by the Corrupt Rajapaksa Military dictatorship, are a bunch of Ignorant fools..
SInhala Buddhism needs reform, de-politicization and de-militarization. Ven. Sobitha thera should first address himself to reforming the Sasana which is corrupt and violent, before running to be President of Lanka. Let CBK be the common candidate to get rid of Jarapassa..

The views expressed by this Thowheed Jamath young man was his own personal views based on his poorly perceived knowledge, which no Muslim will endorse. He was booked in court, fined and made to make a public apology. He was severely reprimanded by most all Muslim Organizations and advised to shut his trap and fall in line. The matter ended. We consider his attempt to be a meek tit-for-tat response to the many ferocious attacks and insinuations made by Gnanasara and his goons on public platforms, distorting Quranic verses and telling horrendous lies about their eating, dressing and breeding habits. Now he (Gnanasaara) will continue to flog the Muslims with that recording, to wreak havoc by stoking anger and fan the flames of hatred, and declare war on Muslims. They are waiting like hawks for the slightest slip-up by any Muslim against them, to blow it beyond all proportions and use it to instigate violence and communalism disproportionately to naximum impact. Unfortunately, innocent people who had nothing to do with this will pay the price. Due mainly to an impotent police force and a government that is biased towards their own kind, Sinhala Buddhist people,

If a Tamil or Muslim or any of their organisation has done tip of what the BBS did, the government would have gone to town with its howling. It is maintaining silence on this issue.
Baya-Gota has on the silent mode. Wimal Weerawanse must be sunk in the Kassippu doses.
The gutless Muslim Ministers should take responsibility for what has taken place. They are part of the governments and party to it.
What happened to the Muslims is just a tip of what happened to the Tamils in 1958 and hereafter.
Cross section of the Tamil leadership publicly condemned the attack on the Muslims. Compare this to the scale of Muslims condemning actions against the Tamils. They are opportunists and they capitalise on bashing of the Tamils.
Minister Rishad Badiudin magnified the numbers of Muslims evicted by the LTTE and has gone on the crusade to settle 4 x’s the number of Muslims evicted from Jaffna. With his effort comes his corrupt bakery business from his ill gotten money.
Rauf Hakeem is an absolute opportunist. He gets constipated heavy stick is shown and with President’s insulin treatment he will eat all his wolf crying words.
Muslims lacks charismatic leadership. When Muslim leaders are elected they go on their own way.
Gutless, spineless, selfish, opportunist lost are Muslim leaders.

It is far rooted than any of us think. Gnanasara in the Killing Field and many others including Gota the third class murderer behind the scene safely hiding and commanding to execute the well planned massacre and looting in Beruwala and Aluthgam.
What on earth was Wirathu the Burma Buddhist terrorist was doing Defence Ministry with Gnansara???
Who let him in to the country?
Many unanswered questions?????
It was very sad to see the 200 year old Muslim house burnt to ashes only after LOOTERS finished the job and the man himself severely beaten by the mobs (who is hospital sustained severe injuries) all in front of the very eyes of the POLICE, STF and the ARMY !!!!!!!
Very sad!!!!

This clears Rajapaksas totally and absolutely.and the doubters can sleep peacefully.
But what is going to happen to the Anti Snhala anti Buddhist brigades lead by Ms T and her class mates or batch mates who appear here to support her.?.
Are they going to tender an apology to Mr Gotabaya Rajapaksa?.

Perhaps we should organize a public “Dog Fight” between these religious extremeists of all faiths on Galle Face Green.
Extremists be they BBS, Islamic, Christian or otherwise can savagely bite each other’s behinds as much as they want.
Like in the 16th century when catholics and Muslims were constantly at each other’s throats. Whacking each other down like flies.
When poisonous religious extremism is out of the way, rest of the country can live & progress in peace.
Cheers!
