      This is why the authorities have to put him in jail for the rest of life.

      Depending on his devleopment in his person, one can set him free in the future.

      The kind of psychopaths can only harm the fellow citizens of this country. Allother monks should be warned accordingly, there will be no special laws for monks – everyone shold have to kneel down before the law – law is equal to everyone.

        Birds of a feather flock together.

        Thug Mahinda Rajapakshe criticises the arrest of most abusive and aggresive monk -Ghanasara – calling him as Ape hamuduruwo (our monk) – how come ? This rascal president to have supported this estranged monk is becoming crystal clear – that then proves the allegations MR and GR to have close contacts with the communal attacks carried out by Ghanasaras. These are proper evidence to investigators.

        Please open your eyes – Mahindara Jarapakshe would back any thug – for him respect and dignity is nothing when going to betray SLFP becoming and reacting like a thug. This man is a greater shame to entire lankens actually.

      Anyone from outside would not comphrehend it why the monks dont want to respect the law and order.

      There is one lunatic monk standing on the fence is trying to threat of self immolation.

      They seem to be not respecting police – and court order.. so how can one tame these men ? Is this srilanka ? They talk about westerners being hard…. these men should be taught it by hard laws. There is no other way than Ghanasara to keep in the prison for the rest of his life. That is it.

          We call ours as mid incoming earning nation – see how the average tick it..even today ?

          I really dont think that lanka is even close to mid income nation. Very pessimistic about the future. I believe this is just an another example to check how would the public react if any big sharks would have been arrested…
          With waiting former Rajathuma to be arrested if all is investigated – there will be day long protest no doubt about that… these Pingutharaya (danbath eating pseudo monks) will take the lead. This county has been stagnated due to the kind of lunatic beings.Good luck to srilnaka.

          Yes, this has been part of culture. – Threatening and get things done.

          Be it within the family, society, or anywhere else is the same. I know friends they avoid adivising their sons and daughters – just because they the offsprings could threaten them with commiting suicide. People in general are not knowledgeble that commiting suicide are just running away from the problmes. Just in the incident, the thuggish rude monk stood on the cement fence and threatened the listerners with self immolation – was trully not being able to respect the prevailing law and order. They each feel them to be treated specially – above law ? These men sould be given more training about the needs of their basic thoughts if the society to turn to civlized acceptable one.

          Yes. They have the same genes, the Para-genes, locally referred to in the Land of Native Veddah Aethho.

          Of course, it is not para for the Tamil Nadu Tamils, as they are Natives of Tamil Nadu, but the Sinhala, yes They are Para.

          If the Sinhala brethren, join their Tamil Nadu brethren. and settle there, return home, we can stop calling the Sinhala, Para-Sinhala, in the Land of Native Veddah aethho.

        This is what Buddhism is as per Buddhism.net and alternate views, so that you can comprehend.

        They remain silent cos they follow the teachings. If they did protest they would have been silenced by this thug and his clan with the help of the last regime. The Maha Sanga, could have stopped this at the very beginning. But they too kept silent for lord knows what benefit.

        “Why is the Sinhala/Buddhist Sangha keeping a deafening silence on this matter? Is he doing a favour to the Sangha?”

        Is Ven. Ganasara Thero a part of the Triple Gem, Three Jewels, Sangha or not?The community of those who have attained enlightenment, and Ve. Ganasa Thero, Sinhala “Buddhist” Monk seem to be trying to attain Enlightenment in Jail.

        The Three Jewels, also called the Three Treasures, Three Refuges, Precious Triad, or most commonly the Triple Gem Pali: Tiratana, Sanskrit: (triratna), are the three things that Buddhists take refuge in, and look toward for guidance, in the process known as taking refuge.

        This would bring tears to your eyes. The Rajapakses are now claiming the Gnanasara Thera and BBS were planted by the opposition to bring down the Rajapakse Presidency and they did. The truth is plain to see that these idiots did not give credit to the astuteness of the Sri Lankan electorate and expected racism to win the day. They failed miserably and now resorting to crocodile tears (at the arrest of Yoshitha) and spreading rumours of malpractices. They are patting themselves on the back over the 5 million votes they received but that block will soon dwindle when they realise the corruption and the atrocities they practiced on their fellow countrymen.

PM, participating in a debate on agreements Sri Lanka entered with several other nations at the time of adjournment, condemned the conduct of Ven Gnanasara Thera at Homagama Magistrate’s Court on Monday. ]

      They should finally learn to behave – whicih is the basics.

      These are not monks but hypocrites in red robes.

      They have no rights to block roads or anything this way. Uncivlized srilanka reflect by their deeds.

        Nirmala N You must have crawled from under a really crappy stone. The only state this awful waste of space Gnanasara will head is the Angoda state where fellow lunatics reside. He is an embarrassment to the human race let alone fellow Sri Lankans and the Buddhist clergy. I have seen videos of him drinking alcohol, dancing, fornicating and uttering foul expletives. Which one of these do you admire the most.

    Somebody should show Gnanasara the monetary record-books. Guy has true caring for the Motherland. And once he looks at the books, he will realize that it is not the Muslims the he should be attacking. It is the Sinhala Elite.

    For in the absence of Sinhala Elite actually on Mother-Soil, culture, monetary resources and possibly religion, are being replaced by the Muslims. Muslims have a greater sense of patriotism towards the land of their birth (and ancestors).

    But for our Sinhala Elite, they revel in the idea of being called Elite. Going to Western lands is final proof their evolutionary superiority. How they got the resources to do so is swept under the table in smug egotism. Muslims on the other hand, do not succumb to such nonsense. They, in fact, bring much money into the country.

    Truly, I feel Ganasara is a good fellow. He needs to meditate in prison and become enlightened. After the realization of the accurate pathway, he can be let out. He can be allowed to start preaching and shaking fist, for the better of the Motherland.

    This (m)animal, disgracing the robe, crossed the line months ago.
    Does Maitripala Sirisena have the backbone to put this deranged
    rowdy and banish him from being seen in public. He has challenged and undermined the very judicial process in the country. He had no business to shout in Court on a different Case. He mocks all that is good and decent in Sri Lankan Buddhism. Pious and practising Buddhists
    are ashamed of this reincarnation of the conspiratorial and un-buddhistic Somarama/Buddharakhita duo of 1958.

    It is time the sleeping Mahanayakas also wake up and show some
    courage in coming to the defence of the jathiya and aagama. If Gandassara is not stopped immediately he will cause religious and ethnic blood-bath in the land.

    Who Speaks for Rev. Gnanasara?

    It is not my intention to defend or accuse Rev. Gnanasara as a person but to consider him as a living phenomenon produced by past and present conditions – the Effect of a Cause.

    The comments on this topic can be categorized as follows:

    1. Non Buddhist commentators.

    2. Buddhists who are shocked by Rev. Gnanasara’s behavior.

    3. Non religious people like me, who are not unduly moved by the phenomenon.

    Both 1 & 2 are jumping up and down like U 235 nuclei that have absorbed neutrons of the right energy with a considerable possibility of a uncontrollable chain reaction starting.

    The Buddhists are doing it due to their Holier than thou attitude and the worry that they may look bad in the eyes of the Westerners and so on.

    The non Buddhists are doing it because Rev. Gnanasara is a God sent opportunity to bash up the main religion of the country, perhaps giving them a good chance of dominating everyone in the near future. It is a holy endeavor for them commanded by their God. Even if they fail in their mission, as most likely they would, the promised gains are too high to be ignored.

    It is also a red herring for them to divert attention of the masses from the heinous crimes being committed in the name of their religion.
    Rev. Gnanasara’s behavior has been outrageous right through but he looks as innocent as a newborn baby compared to those criminals.

    There are two major duties that a Buddhist monk is expected to carry out.

    1. Spread of the Dhamma peacefully. Protection of Dhamma is implicit in this, for there is no purpose in spreading Dhamma unless it has a chance of surviving and taking root.

    2. Strive for the emancipation of oneself.

    A monk has to strike a balance between the two. The second is mainly for the benefit of the monk while the second is for the benefit of others.

    Thus we see monks restricting themselves in temples, giving a sermon on Poya day, attending to the religious need of their area.

    There also those who go in to the forests and meditation centers striving to understand the truth.

    Rev. Gnanasara has chosen to devote his time and efforts almost totally for the protection of Dhamma from its enemies. He has no time for common niceties. I see him as a man who is sacrificing his own salvation and risking a stint in one of the Narakadiyas for the sake of others,. In the interim period he has been assured of a stint in jail, which may not be quite as bad as Apaya and perhaps not so good as Divya Loka too.

      RE: Video: “This Is Only The Beginning” – Gnanasara’s Full Speech Prior To Going To Prison

      Who Speaks for Rev. Gnanasara?
      Who Speaks for Mara who Opposed Buddha?

      “Both 1 & 2 are jumping up and down like U 235 nuclei that have absorbed neutrons of the right energy with a considerable possibility of a uncontrollable chain reaction starting.”

      They are in resonance. Rev. Ganasara has provided the appropriate frequency.So, there will be either destructive interference or destruction interference based on whether the “other’ Sinhala “Buddhists’ are in Phase or out of Phase.It is Buddha Vs. Mara.

      Anyway, Amarasiri wants Rev. Ganasara to be circumcised. After All God wanted Jews to be circumcised, and the BBS Goons circumcised a Buddhist Monk.

      Who Speaks for Rev. Gnanasara? Amarasiri. He wants the Mara follower REV.

        You have no chance Amarasiri. Go and join him. At least sympathize or at least keep quiet.

        You keep on repeating things monotonously like an echo in the Swiss Alps, or Himalayas. Try to say something new if you want to show that you have an acceptable IQ.

        Instead of making worthless comments on other people comments, why don’t you write something original of your own.

        You are such a sad case that you went to the cheap extent of copying one of my comments and posting it as if it is yours. My parrot can do a better repetition than that.

            Nice excuse! So your contribution were the quotation marks only! Good thing you did not quote me because I would rather be dead in a ditch than be quoted by a CP artist like you. Thank you.

            However, for your own good, if you do that to anyone else try to give him credit, will you? The chances are that he will appreciate that because the chances are that he is going to be lowly jackal like most here.

            But why don’t you try to write something that is genuinely your own creation? Not having done that ever, perhaps you do not know the pleasure of putting your ideas in to words.

            So try to avoid living like a jackal feeding on the carrion left by the Lions.

            Since you have already mastered the menial art of copying and pasting, at least try to do it more intelligently. try to change a word here a phrase there. That could be a beginning for your rehabilitation.

            I forgive you, CPA for your sins, but I will be watching your progress in the future with considerable interest. So try to be a good boy. OK?

          What is happening to your IQ? Is it regressing to the Mean of the Sinhala “Buddhist”?

          Remember the Average IQ of those who voted for Mahinda Rajapaksa and Cronies, including “Venerable” Ganasara Thero was around 64, estimated from 1 standard deviation (approximately 15) from the IQ mean of 79.
          Amarasiri stromgly suggest that

          1. You drink Gotu Kola Kanda, Gotu Kola Porridge, every day in the morning.

          2. You drink Mukunu Anna Kola Kanda, Gotu Kola Porridge, every day before lunch.

          3. You eat only papaya fruit for dinner every day.Eat the skin of papaya as well if you can. The papaya has Papain and it contains substances called enzymes that help break down proteins.

          Papain is taken from the fruit of the papaya tree. It is used to make medicine.

          Papain is used for pain and swelling (inflammation) as well as fluid retention following trauma and surgery. It is used as a digestive aid and for treating parasitic worms, inflammation of the throat and pharynx, shingles (herpeszoster) symptoms, ongoing diarrhea, hay fever, runny nose, and a skin condition called psoriasis. Papain is also used along with conventional treatments for tumors.

          Some people apply papain directly to the skin to treat infected wounds, sores, and ulcers.

          You better apply to your head for the time being until cured or until “Venerable” Ganasara is released.

                Copy & Paste Amarasiri

                C P Amarasiri, why do you want to intern me in a hospital or an asylum? I know the reason. It is certainly not because you love me. You want to copy and paste in peace. And I am a hindrance to you.

                They say CP is as strong an addiction as narcotics. Initially you start innocently with words and then evolve in to phrases followed by sentences and whole paragraphs. Finally you promote yourself in to whole comments, articles and even the whole works of Shakespeare. Then you are in the big league.

                After that there is no turning back. You are a professional plagiarist. I will not be surprised if one day I find the whole Bible copied and pasted here by CP Amarasiri as a comment.

                IT has been a great tool for you plagiarists. Before computers came, a plagiarist had to read something before copying it down by hand. Now all that rigmarole is not necessary. You just mark it and say copy and Wallah it goes on to your clipboard. Now take it where you want say ‘paste’ and another Wallah it is all there.

                The great advantage here is that you do not have to know what the hell you have copied or pasted. The process does not require much of an IQ. I can train an above average monkey to do it in 2 weeks. A guy of your IQ may take a little longer.

                Because of low IQ requirements, more and more monkeys are coming in to the field. Plagiarism generally lowers even the little IQ you start with. Perhaps that is why the IQ of Sri Lankans is coming down as you have pointed out in ‘your’ oft repeated comments on IQ copied and pasted in CT.

                  “On engaging in occult practices, where in the Vinaya Pitaka or anywhere in the Tripitaka is it mentioned, that a Buddhist monk is permitted to do so? In a pathetic attempt to justify their meddling in witchcraft, they have, reportedly, lumped it together with Bodhi Pooja, defining the harmless latter, also as an occult practice.” News Item

                  “Visit your Local Veda Mahhataya, Village Doctor. Trying to be helpful. “

                  If the Local Veda Mahhataya or the National Ayurvedic Hospital, cannot help you, may I suggest with the Local Kattadiya, in case you are infected by Mara or the Devil, Satan.

                  They kmow how to chase Mara, Satan or Devil, according to them.

                  You may even go to your local Monk.

                  Amarasiri assumes that you do not care how you are cured, as long as you are cured.

                  “The island of Sri Lanka has been a favorite haunt of aliens, extra terrestrials, gods, devas, angels, sky dwellers, demons, deities whichever way you describe them. Our chronicles, traditions, folklore, prehistoric cave drawings, archaeological evidence and ancient traveler’s’ records testify that there have been strange beings living in this island from time immemorial.”

                      ” Mara Mara Amara Mara Siri Mara”

                      Too many copying errors from the original.

                      MaRa MaRa Chatu MaRa
                      MaRa MaRa Amana MaRa
                      MaRa Mara Pacha Mara
                      MaRa MaRa Dhushana Mara

                      MaRa and even Mara may get angry.

                      However, you may sing the Jaya Mangala Gatha in Original Pali, It is believed to be a good cure.

                      Jaya Mangala Gatha-Verses of Auspicious Victory (rare Pali version)-Buddhist Chants

                      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OH9kdeLEX4

                      Based on the Book of Protection (Paritta Sutta) from the Pali canon, the Jaya Mangala Gatha is sung here in a rare recording by the Mahabodhi Society of India in original Pali. The Jaya Mangala Gatha is a chant recommended by the Buddha to destroy negativity and to generate auspiciousness. It proclaims the 8 major victories of the Buddha which are:
                      1) Victory over Mara, MaRa MaRa Chatu MaRa
                      2) Victory over the demon Alavaka, Ganasara.
                      3) Victory over the wild elephant Nalagiri, Gamanpila
                      4) Victory over serial killer Angulimala, Gotabaya
                      5) Victory over the evil intentions of Cinca who sought to defame, Ratnapura Women, MP
                      6) Victory over the haughty brahmin Saccaka, Vasudeva
                      7) Victory over the serpent king Nandopananda, Buruwansa
                      8) Victory over the false views of Brahma Baka, H L D Mahindapala

                      It is important to understand that most of these are allegorical stories that relate to the Buddha defeating the negative aspects of his (Mara and Alavaka) and others’ minds.

                      It is said that these verses if chanted with a clear and pure intention are helpful in protecting the seeker by attracting the Good around.
                      The Pali pronunciation here is exemplary and difficult to find.

                      In Pali:

                      Bahum sahassam-abhinim
                      mita sayudham tam
                      Girimekhalam udita ghora
                      sasena maram
                      Danadidhamma vidhina
                      jitava munindo
                      Tarn tejasa bhavatu te

                It is supposed to have antibacterial properties.

            The problem is of course the CP artists who copy and paste anything and everything they can put their hands on. Some people are so bankrupt that the copy other peoples comments and paste it here.

            The joke is that they themselves do not read it, let alone poor readers like us.

              I agree with Edwin. Amarasiri’s cut and paste is a joke.
              It goes on and on and on and the same cut paste is repeated every where.

              The issue is with the CT editorial.

              They show bias and here for example allowed Amarasiris to cut and paste link to you tube. However they edited out a link that I tried to post on an intellectual interview with Ravi K

              Amarasiri also get around censorship to the link , by posting the entire text from the link pages and pages of it.

              CT should be neutral.

              The only person who does not cut and paste a link is Vibshana.
              She would just state go and see such and such ,,,,,she knows it doesn’t exist

                First it was Amarasiri’s defense of Izeth Hussein, and The Sharmini Serasinghe.,

                Then somebody else,,,

                The Person who has a mobile phone with limited bandwidth has to pay for bandwidth, will not click on links and pay for extra bandwidth. By the time they got to CT website and downloaded the article, they had ALREADY paid for the bandwidth. However, they can use the link if they want more information.

                You need to have a preamble that is relevant, so that the mobile user can get maximum use of his limited time and limited bandwidth.

                Amarsiri also gets edited our frequently, and that is CT policy.

                Amarasiri goes by Relevance to the article or the Comment under discussion.

                Not “Koheda Yanne , Malle Pol”, Where are you going, Coconuts in the sack, comments to the write up or the Comment.

                The Key is relevance.

                  Amanasiri,

                  Why do you have to defend these people? If they write articles are they not not capable of defending themselves? In addition to being a CP artist are you a lawyer too?

                  You are only giving excuses instead of a proper defense.

                  You say: “You need to have a preamble that is relevant.” That is preposterous coming from you. Not only the preamble but almost everything you write is irrelevant.

                  Want an example? This C&Peed from your one of your replies to me.

                Amarasiri or Amanasiri

                Rajash,

                You have to get the name right. He writes it as Amarasiri but it is actually Amanasiri a name that fits like a hand in a glove. In case you don’t know what the word Amana means, it means ‘despicable’. Ha! Ha! And you know what? The name is not so despicable as his copying and pasting habit. Why, the guy even copied and pasted one of my own comments. Says, he inserted two lousy quotation marks to show that it is not his original stuff. A bigger ha! ha! If that is not despicable then I don’t know what is.

                I wonder what Shakespeare would have done if someone copied and pasted ‘Merchant of Venice’ and sold it with just two quotation marks to show that it is a C & P job. Probably he would have demanded his pound of flesh.

                I have a strong suspicion that this man is a full timer in CT. Otherwise how can he devote so much time for so many comments? He appears like a jack in a box sometimes here, sometimes there, and all the time everywhere. He is an Avatar.

                I now, I know, he is doing C & P. But even that takes time does it not?

      “When I wrote some weeks back about the supposed Norwegian involvement with the Bodhu Bala Sena, I had not seen the clarification which the Norwegian Embassy had put on its website about the allegations. Having read it, I am more than ever convinced that the Norwegian government and its embassy have not behaved badly, but also that they, and also the Sri Lankan government, must go more carefully into the matter and check on what exactly has been going on. If they can do this together, so much the better, though I fear that neither side will have the correct skills and attitudes to ensure fruitful and productive cooperation.”

    Yes, what he says is right. This is only the beginning, but of his end no doubt. No one considers him seriously any more, however nationalistic and sincere he may be. His performance at the last GE says it all. Known to the rest of the world as the ugly face of Buddhism. Both he and Wirathu bear responsibility for fueling the hatred to take innocent Muslim lives and still roam the streets scott free. They both will pay dearly through their retribution for those crimes in this world before they die.

    The “Maha Nayake” – The Chief Priest of Asgiriya said: “In the past Buddhist Monks sacrificed their lives to protect the country. Rev. Galaboda Atte Ganasara too will sacrifice his life for the cause”.

    I would like to tell Mahanayaka of Asgiriya that “SACRIFICE” is most welcome and if this priest – Rev. Gaanasara does it from the “Remand Prison” now in “Hospital” without coming out. I will recite: “Annichcha Watha Sankara; Uppada Vayadammino; Uppadgithva Nirujanthi; Thesam Moopa Samo Suko”. That is to help him to achieve a better life in the next birth at least. In METTA.

    Wonder where our Bodhipala Sirisena is, because he told BBC Ameen that Ms Ekanaligoda is no expert to tell him what to do..

    Doesn’t that come under contempt of Homagama Court of this Magistrate?.

    Threatening Mrs Ekanaligoda with physical harm even can’t be taken serious, when the LTTE cadres who have 200 year jail terms are walking free nowadays.

    Then there is a Minister, a big one for that matter who was accused of man handling a magistrate in Mannar . And he wasn’t even arrested let alone remanded.

    To top it all, the PM Batalnda Ranil compares this Monk to Venerable Buddha Rakkitha.

    My elders tell me Ven BR was a UNP heavy who even had a UNP mistress.

    And the other name was one Somarama .

    Apparently poor Some was a sitting duck literally, for the Police to catch, after the sharp shooter , who also an enforcer for the UNP vanished in to thin air..

    Batalanda PM’s concluding remarks in Parliament is the most significant.

    He demanded the Police to send a report on the unruly Monks to him, with copies to Malwatta Chief and Kotte Chief.

    Are they the new UNP Monks whom Batalanada PM has under him to control the Buddha Sassana in Sinha Le?.

        As for your hero Pirahaparan, you should ask Suren Surendran or UNP London, because they now have more Intelligence than the Intelligent R A W Hindians.

        BTW Do you visit the ex Bishop Rev Rayappu?

    Gnanasara and his group completely ruined the reputation of genuine Buddhist monks.

    According to Disciplinary codes of Monks( Bhikkshu Vinaya) no any monk can behave like that.
    Even though Mahinda Rajapaksa or Gatabaya did not learn or read about Buddhism and Bhikkshu Vinaya Mr. Ranil Wickramasinghe as a learned scholar has vast knowledge about what the Buddha taught.

    Mahinda and Gotabaya fed these thugs who are wearing this saffron robes.

    Now they are acting according to Mahinda and Gotabaya tune.

    WHEN FIELD MARSHAL SARATH FONSEKA WAS IMPRISONED WHERE WERE THESE THUGS WHO ARE WEARING THESE YELLOW ROBES.

    Mahinda and Gotabaya are behind this incident.
    I saw Bembanpila also there.

    Not only Gnanasara but also others who behaved like wild animals must beincarcerated for life with severe punishment.

    Did they become monks to act and behave like that.
    Who are their Preceptors and Teachers who ordained and trained them.

    Gnanasara mother must be ashamed to visit him.

    If she has brought up with discipline I think it would not happened to Gnanasara.
    Maha Nayake of Asgiriya must resign from his post and go to forest monastery to meditate. This old man is talking nonsense with Minister.
    He praises this thug Gnanasara. It is Horribble.

      Saman,

      mothers cant always guide anyone in today s society.

      They the children do whatever they want even pawning their mothers. They are simply moronic sons.
      I know examples within my circles. Having lived on the west, and getting to see my relatives atleast once a year, I have a good comparison. I wonder how some white sons (average) respect their mothers. They always respect their mothers than gods. I know some germans, swiss and English colleagues how they get on with their mummies in general.

      In sl, people have no SUFFICIENT information about civilized societies. They just feel that westerners are not family bound people, but what I get to see in srilanka by today – all worst.

      TOday s generation they dont even care of their parents.

      No matter parents have their advice, these kids do their thing. Sometimes very respectless. I really dont know why they behave so. Drugs, Alcohol, night clubs, their parties… and and and… colombo and hikkaduwa cultre has more or less affected to villagers too .. to this day. Or Internet should be accoutable for everything.

    I don’t see why he shouldn’t be protesting against Sandeya. (Physically he cannot go near her. That is something different)

    Old King has been promised he will not be tried for war crimes. He is being indirectly accused by Sandeya. He stands as the savior of the Wildlife Sanctuary, Lankawe. Sandeya’s accusation can strip off that designation from him and send him to prision. That is unwanted to UNP and SLFP. So they all like him protest against Sandeya.

    Nobody knows if Ekanaligoda is having a business in Paris or if it is in Paradise. We were told he in Paris by those who saved the country. Sandeya never said who took him away. She is just blaming somebody for something and that open blame can put the country into a trial of the history i.e Old King used Chemical weapons on Tamils. This will make, irrelevant of if ever Sandeya as the minimum finds out where is Ekanaligoda is, but can find out who and who are what type of war criminals. If it is wanted that the Old King wants to become Dutugemunu, then there is no harm to the country will be done by somebody becoming Mahanama. So, Gnasara’s rebelling is justified.

    Every Sinhala Intellectual big rod taken into remand by the Yahapalanaya government remains admitted in, or were only admitted in the prison hospital. Nobody was in the prison cell. Gnasara asked only two days to get out of prison and he has done very successfully. He is already out in the hospital. That is not the case with Pillaiyan group. Only he and his people are under PTA and in remand forever. Because they are potential witnesses against the modern Dutugemunu. To compare with that, it is Sandeya , who is potential witness against Old King should be in the remand not Gnasara. (There could be another explanation also, that the Lankawe’s prisons are highly infected and if the Sinhala Intellectuals, who are weak go in there, they have to be admitted immediately to hospitals, but Tamils who are very highly immune to Lankawe prison infections as have been living in there for lifetime under PTA, need not to go to hospital.)

    You know, this is what has been advertised for IC as Law and Order has been restored under Yahapalanaya government! Then, is what Gnasara doing is worse than that false impression creation?

    When Lions Roar Jackals Tremble

    When the great lion roars, the jackals tremble and start talking among themselves in whispers. Now that Kesara Sinha Raja, is caged, you jackals have turned your volume control dials clockwise and try to roar like lions but fail miserably like mice.

    C.P. Amarasiri is always talking about the low IQ of the Sinhala Buddhists. Judging by the comments here I agree with him.

    On the other hand C. P. Amarasiri has a comparatively high IQ because he has CP,ed (Copied and Pasted) his IQ from the more intelligent jackals.

    I commend Colombo Telegraph for publishing this but this is NOT the entire incident. Only one TV station was brave enough to show it all.

    It was unbelievably disgraceful. The non- Buddhists amongst us must surely be laughing from their backsides at what goes on for Buddhism in this country. I would recommend CT to get the whole episode for public display so that awareness is created. None of the mayhem is actually captured here.

    The fact is, no one abuses and rubbishes Buddhism as much has this one man in a yellow robe. Yet no one demands that he be put away as an example to other potential destabilising agents. No one cares.

    The implications of all this can be serious. Particularly on the foreign investment side. Nothing short of a stable society where the Law enforcement and the Law itself is stridently manifest to all, will advertise this country as a modern society to attract foreign investors into this country. No organization in its right mind would invest in a potentially violent place, ridden with religious and racial unrest. The equation is quite simple.

    I really don’t think the President or his government fully understands the powder keg they are now sitting on. They havent done a thing than just offer empty words to a growing populace that is coming round to the belief that the government is incapable and is only prone to loud yet empty talk.

    Sri Lanka continues to flounder in crisis after crisis. They are all man made. The President can save his breath asking our ‘experts’ domiciled elsewhere, to come back to their own country. For what? may I ask!!!

    Panthera Leo Gnanasara

    Caution: certain parts in this comment may cause indigestion in sensitive people. To be read with extreme care and preferably with the guidance of a religious leader.

    They say one need not be afraid of an army of Lions led by a Sheep. But an army of sheep led by a lion – that should get you worried. But what you have now in Sri Lanka is an army of lions led by a fearless Kesara Sinha Raja (Barbary lion). Read that as Barbary not barbaric, though ‘barbaric’ it will be for all those cowardly carrion eating jackals if you do not behave. We are going to be very very tough on you guys.

    In other words, those non Buddhist Baboons and the jackals who think they are Buddhists do not agree with the way our great leader is behaving and talking, eh? What makes you think we care about what you baboons and jackals think? We do not need your approval any more than a lion needs from the sheep to do what we like.

    Wait and see how the action unfolds.

      Edwin Rodrigo,


      It is not my intention to defend or accuse Rev. Gnanasara as a person but to consider him as a living phenomenon produced by past and present conditions – the Effect of a Cause. The comments on this topic can be categorized as follows:
      1. Non Buddhist commentators.

      2. Buddhists who are shocked by Rev. Gnanasara’s behavior.

      3. Non religious people like me, who are not unduly moved by the phenomenon.

      You seemed to want to project yourself as a neutral previously(although your slip was showing), but have now come out loud and clear. Thanks for that.

        LION

        Genus: Panthera
        Species: P. Leo
        Sub Species: Balu Sinha

        There are various types of lions and one of them is the Barbary Lion or the Great Asiatic Lion. There is also the sub species called the Balu Sinha, and judging from the way almost all of our so called Buddhists have been insulting a robed monk in CT, they must be having a close relationship with the Balu Sinha sub species.

        A dog does not care whether it is a monk or a thief who is at the gate. He will bark because he thinks it is his duty to do so. That is the way he has been trained by his masters. In the case of our Balu Sinhas, they are being cheered on by the non Buddhist Baboons like C P Amarasiri.

        What is at work in these Buddhists is the canine gene mixed with the lion gene, topped with human genes for good measure. All that hodge podge of genes make them Balu Sinhas. Their origin is of no concern. Whether they are from Andhra or Timbuktu they are all Balu Sinhas and certainly not Kesara Sinhas.

            Lankan,

            you ask: So you accept Gandassara is a barking dog?

            I don’t want to make any degrading remarks about a Buddhist monk irrespective of who it is, as long as he is an ordained monk. If he is disrobed for his offensive behavior by the right religious authorities, then it is different. But until that happens, I will not use foul words on him.

            But that does not mean I approve of what he is doing. I have already said that his behaviour is outrageous. That is a critical opinion. Not an insult. Do you see Muslims or Christians using such foul language on their religious leaders? They may criticize but not insult.

            Are you a Sinhala Buddhist? Yes by birth, I am. My father was a Catholic but converted to Buddhism just before his marriage under the influence of my Buddhist mother.

            I find Buddha starting his theories with certain assumptions as with any theory. Then he goes on to build up his ‘theories’ strictly in accordance with logic and reasoning, the way that science does today, and comes to certain conclusions. There are no contradictions any where in this extensive discourse. That is a really great thing.

            I also find the absence of a creator God and the freedom given for genuine doubt unparalleled in any other religion. His theories of cause and effect are simply marvelous.

            What I disagree with are the initial assumptions and the final conclusions.

            You seem to be flitting from one persona to another, so I’m a bit confused again I am telling you a secret now. It is only for your ears. I was promoted as an Avatar by Gaban Atha a few years back. One of the duties stated in my letter of appointment is that I should flit from one from to another as and when required by my boss GA.

                Buddhism: No Rules – Only Principles

                Perhaps I put it in the wrong way. I should have said,

                “but as long as VG wears the saffron robe I will not do it.” This is not a rule, self imposed or otherwise.

                One unique feature of Buddhism is that there are no RULES or COMMANDMENTS. only PRINCIPLES and Perhaps Promises. Buddha was a teacher not a God or even a commander. If you go through the real words used in all instances, for example, in the 1st percept, you will see this.

                Buddhism: Panathi Patha Veramani Sikkhapapadam Samadiyami: I take the percept to abstain from destroying living beings. This concerns you and your conscience only. There is no Buddha or God coming in here. No commands, no rules only principles and promises made by you to your self.

                Christianity: Thou Shalt Not Kill. (The 1st commandment), This is not a promise or a principle. It is a command from God. DO IT OR ELSE!!!

                Islam: You may kill. Terms & Conditions apply. Ex: You may kill your own mother for apostasy and this was imposed on a certain mother in 2016. Islam is indeed a timeless religion.

                In monotheistic religions, everything revolves around a central omnipotent God that no one has seen or heard. Just like Bernard Shaw’s orbiting pot, it is just an initial assumption that you simply have to accept. Since it happens to be an assumption, you cannot question it.

                In Euclidean Geometry, you start with a small set of axioms, which appeal to common sense, such as what a point is or a straight line is and so on, and based on that strong foundation build up a large edifice that is of great practical value as well as intellectually appealing

                The situation in all religions is that all religions too have to start with certain assumptions or axioms. In monotheistic religions you are forced using fear from childhood to accept them. In Buddhism one can take it or leave it. No one is going to use force on you.

                I hope that makes my position clear.

                Disrobing a Monk

                According to the Vinaya Pitaka (the section dealing with the discipline of Sangha) an ordained monk can be disrobed for violating any one or more of the Four Paaraajika (The Defeaters) rules, the most important rules of Vinaya Rules:

                1) sexual intercourse
                2) murder
                3) major-theft
                4) falsely claiming supernormal abilities.

                All the other offences can be remedied, these four are terminal and disrobing irrevocable.

                I ask you, has Ven Gnanasara been proven guilty of any of these offenses? If not how can anyone demand that he be disrobed? Are you guys more expert in the Vinaya Pitaka than the Prelates? Are you guys more faithful than the Buddha himself to these rules?

                I rest my case there.

    Good Governance is at a risk. These stooges are been motivated by the previous regime to destroy law and order to create instabilty to show the people that present regime is not capable of ruling the country. PRevious henchement do not want justice to this case so they motivated gandasaras to distrub the rule of law. Even throwing stone in the highway which destroyed several vehicles is planned by the previous regime idiots. They will do anything to destroy the rule of law since they are the culprits who will end up in jail if the rule of law is established.
