Although the majority of people in Sri Lanka probably take it as given that devas exist, so they probably aren't that surprised. Like UFO sightings in Mexico City, apparently they are so common no one takes any notice, and ghost pictures in Thailand, where, as Ajahn Brahmavamso once said, '(in Thailand) If you say you don't believe in ghosts they'll laugh at you'.andrer9999 wrote:I tried finding the picture elsewhere, with or without the devas, but I just can't find it. With two million people going to Anuradhapura for Poson, it's just going to be impossible to find that photo.
From the skeptic's point-of-view, you'd think that it would have made more of a splash if that many people were around. But hey, you never know.
I guess this 'Can't believe it until it hits me over the head' is not prevalent in every culture.
