Fine example to society

Subhashini SENANAYAKE

Conducting a pinkama organised by the Board of Directors and employees of the institution in memory of an employee who had rendered 40 years of service to Lake House is a fine example to the society, said Viharadhipati, Sambuddhaloka Viharaya, Colombo, Ven. Prof. Ittademaliye Indasara Nayaka Thera. Ven. Indasara Thera said so delivering an anusasana at a Sanghika dana held at the viharaya to mark the third month remembrance of Mrs. Saroj Wickremasinghe, Former Board Secretary of Lake House (ANCL) recently.

The pinkama was organised by Lake House and its employees under the direction of Chairman Bandula Padmakumara and the Board of Directors. Ven. Indasara Thera said pinkama of this nature was nothing new to Lake House and Chairman Bandula Padmakumara who always encouraged employees to indulge in religious activities to better their worldly life. Such activities also helped to build better employer and employee relations for the common good and welfare of the institution.

The Ven. Wawwe Dhammarakkhita of the Sri Lanka Buddhist and Pali University said the conducting of a pinkama in memory of a longstanding employee symbolised the spirit of brotherhood existing among employees at Lake House.

Merit is a fuel needed to steer the vehicle of life. Paying gratitude through events of this nature was also a great meritorious deed, the thera said.

Lake House Chairman Bandula Padmakumara, General Manager Abhaya Amradasa, Secretary Kumudu Gunawardene and the husband and family members of Mrs. Saroj Wickremasinghe were also present.
