Pious, erudite and exemplary bhikkhu

Prime Minister D M Jayaratne, in a message of greetings to the Most Ven Aggamaha Panditha Udugama Sri Buddharakkhita Mahanayake Thera of the Asgiriya Chapter, on the occasion of his 81st birthday, said the Most Ven Mahanayake Thera was a pious, erudite and exemplary, Bhikkhu who had earned honour from Buddhists here and abroad.

Born on March 17, 1930 at Udugama in the Kalugamuwa Colony in Wariyapola, the Most Ven Mahanayake Thera was ordained in 1945. He was appointed Anunayake Thera of the Asgiriya Chapter in 1998 and subsequently, the Mahanayake thera in 1999.

The Government of Myanmar conferred the Aggamaha Panditha honorary title on him in 2007, in recognition of his religious and social service.

At a time when Buddhists the world over were observing the Buddhist procedure and getting ready to celebrate the 2600th Sri Sambuddhatva Jayanthi, he would wish the Ven Mahanayake Thera good health and long life to work for the perpetuation of Buddhism for many more years by giving counsel by interpreting the dhamma and its meaning.
