Ayubowan from Sri Lanka

Postby buwaneka » Tue Aug 07, 2012 3:29 pm

Ayubowan,

Ayubowan is how Sri Lankans greet, it means, long life! :) My name is Buwaneka Saranga, from Sri Lanka, I'm a Theravada Buddhist from birth. Recently my interests in the Dhamma sparked like never before, and I started out by reading Narada Thero's book, "The Buddha and his Teachings", by thorough analysis, I came to the conclusion that Buddhism is where reality is; by reality I meant truth! Formerly I studied science for my advanced levels, and I've been a keen scientific person. But, now I believe that the Dhamma has something much more than science to offer, in a truly realistic perspective. I have come here to learn more, and discuss with other fellow members.

Thoughts are the thinkers themselves.

Welcome! I look forward to your contributions!
To avoid all evil, to cultivate good, and to cleanse one's mind — this is the teaching of the Buddhas.

Ko-ho-mah-dhah?

I am English speaking, but I go to a local Buddhist temple where everyone mostly speaks Sinhala! I have been trying to learn a little Sinhala but it is almost imposible for me! :jumping:

Good luck here on Dhamma Wheel වෙල්චොමේ :-) (Is that right?)

:hello: Heeyyy! Mama, hodin innawa, oyata kohomada? Where are you living? In Sri Lanka? Sinhala seems to be a bit difficult, but I don't think it's hard. :) Nice to meet you at Dhamma Wheel, Thanks.
