The author of this book which is a Sarasavi publication, is Silumina

institution with a Sri Lankan identity,” said Chief Incumbent of the
Mount Lavinia Buddhist Centre Diviyagaha Yasassi Thera adding that this
was a significant launch marking the 2600th Sambuddhatva Jayanthi.

attitudes of the people,” he said.
