Lake House providing invaluable service to country - Asgiri Maha Nayaka

Subhani Senanayake

Paththara Mahagedera, better known among the public as Lake House has provided an invaluable service to the country and the nation for over a century said Most Ven. Udugama Sri Dhammadassi Rathanapala Buddharakkhita, the Mahaviharawanshi Shiamopali Maha Nayake of the Asgiri Chapter.

The Nayaka Thera also valued the service rendered by the institution to the public in enhancing and implanting new knowledge, apart from its contribution to promoting religion and to society at large. The prelate expressed these views when Members of the Lakse House Buddhist Association called on the Maha Nayaka after paying homage to the Sacred Tooth Relic in Kandy. The members of the Association joined family members who were present to offer alms to the Maha Sangha.

While paying tribute to Lake House, the Maha Nayaka Thera went onto say that Bandula Padmakumara as Chairman of Lake House provides the true and correct leadership to the institute while fighting against forces that tried to hinder its progress.

"We are pleased and happy to note the invaluable service your institute renders to this country and her people.

The Maha Sangha is very appreciative of your work. We invite all staff members to continue their service with dedication to serve the nation. Our blessings are with you always, the prelate said.

Lake House Buddhist Association President, Budu Sarana Editor Ceaser Sudusinghe, Secretary Susil Gunawardene and Treasurer Priyantha Wijesinghe were present.
