If
anyone read what Dinesh Gunewardene has said at this occasion, they would
realize that it is just (hiss wachana) words without meaning, just to be polite
to the Clergy, without meaning a word he is saying.
SO
when it reported by a racist website, purporting to be anything but, it takes
on added significance, as this website is using the hollow words out of context
to attach an element of truth to it!! Again it is to fool the reader, rather
than provide clear evidence to justify their claims.
Even
more galling of the newspaper Divaina to report misleading statements, as it
says that people are reporting incorrect news about Buddhism in the world. That
is wrong. Buddhism is a very respected Religion or set of beliefs that has been
hijacked by a few in Sri Lanka for their own ends. The behavior of the BBS and
Sihala Ravaya has NOTHING to do with Buddhism, and Gunewardene is wrong to
attach the Buddhism label here. It is an insult to Buddhism for him to assert
otherwise.
For
Buddhist leaning websites to rely on such tripe must be dismissed by the Senior
Clergy in Sri Lanka, so that lies DO NOT get spread around. Those people who write
there are NOT Buddhist as they are doing a great disservice.
Sinhala
Buddhism as defined by these anti Buddhists must be tackled head on by the real
Buddhists before Buddhism is lost to this land. This behavior in the name of Buddhism
does grave injustice to Buddhists.
If
the Maha Sangha disrobe these charlatans, then there is hope for Buddhism. Otherwise
it will disappear if no one challenges, this behavior in the name of Buddhism and
most currently Buddhist people will not want to be associated with it.
I
know most people in Sri Lanka are not on the ball, to what is obvious, and as the
law is not COLOR BLIND there will be no justice where it is needed most urgently.
Once the realization sets in it will be too late, and there is NO point in closing
the barn door once the horse has bolted away! Be warned and be prepared.
