Thanuja Dharmapala, author and former journalist of Silumina recently launched Sadaham Sith Mal Yaya - 2, her second book comprising a series of Dhamma discussions she had had with Ven Kiribathgoda Gnananda Thera of Polgahawela Mahaevna Buddhist Monastery.

The book was launched at Polgahawela Bhavana Asapuwa.

The publishers, Senarath Prakashakayo, have arranged to print the book after the author’s success with her early edition, Sadaham May Yaya - 1, which had its third print by popular demand.

The book elucidates the Buddha’s teachings and how they could be put into practical use by laymen and women to be happy in their lives.
