Sanghamitta day is on 19/12/2021. Let all of us the pious devotees of Lord Buddha, take opportunity on this day to pay respect to the Blessed One, take refuge in Triple Gems, take up 5 precepts and reflect on the virtues of Triple Gems. And also appreciate the effort of Arahat Sanghamitta Theri to propagate Buddha's teachings in Sri Lanka. From which the rest of the world gained Theravada Buddhism...
