Most. Ven. Davuldena Sri Gnanissara Mahanayaka Thera expressed this
idea when the Prime Minister called on him at his temple on Sunday
evening.
The Mahanayake Thera said during the 2,600th Sambuddhathwa Jayanthi,
the revival of Buddhist sentiments is a fact that nobody could
undermine. The Ven Thera said certain persons who do not have knowledge
of the Dhamma are making untoward statements on the pretext of serving
the Buddha Sasana and requested the Prime Minister to take necessary
measures to stop such propagations.
The Mahanayake Thera blessed the Prime Minister. Prime Minister D M
Jayaratne said the government is taking every action under the guidance
of President Rajapaksa to protect and foster Buddhism in line with the
provisions of the Constitution.
Private Secretary to the Prime Minister Anuradha Jayaratne was also
present.
