The
constant need of the Ven. Galagoda Aththe Gnanasara Thero for attention, a
wholly un- Buddhist act, is at the heart of their attempt again to resurrect
and revive religious politics which we must surgically excise from popular
thought.
Having
a go at the ex-President Chandrika who happens to Chair SAPRI a think tank that
is NOT just about religious harmony but about other noble aims, is a wholly
opportunistic bark and barking up the wrong tree. All communities have elements of false propaganda in conning people to half baked theories.
It is Education that will reduce the incidence of dunces following dunces, but it appears that BBS wish people to be uneducated, so they will follow these dunces, where as Buddhism always asks people to carefully consider and logically reason out right from wrong and that is done only from better education and awareness of one's harmony with one's surroundings to ensure they are all in equilibrium with each other.
We
in Sri Lanka can only survive in the long term with the religious tolerance we
have practiced all throughout our history, which is being put to the test by
such groups like the BBS, which are all part of the here today gone tomorrow
acts of impotent firebrands behind it.
The
Buddhists in Sri Lanka are NOT Sinhala Buddhist, they are Buddhist Sinhala
people who practice humility and adhere to Theravada principles. The so called
Sinhala Buddhists are a sub culture of people who try to encompass the Buddhist
Sinhala population who don’t have anything to do with their practices, but are
tainted by organizations such as the BBS, and then portray a country in a very
wrong way.
The
demand that prayer groups be prevented is a completely repugnant. People of
whatever belief MUST be entitled to practice their belief in their homes, with
their likeminded friends and acquaintances, and NOBODY has the right to interfere
with this RIGHT.
Where
does philosophical discussion stop and religion begin? After all if I have
regular discussion with say 50 friends at my home, about philosophical matters
which can easily be construed as belief systems, and then BBS storm in to
disperse my meetings, because they don’t like what they perceive (which may be
totally different to the reality of the discussion and intention) that SHOULD
NOT be permitted under any circumstances, and I will NOT tolerate RABID pretend
priests in Yellow Robes to descend and tell me what I can and cannot do, as
long as I don’t break internationally accepted laws, (NOT Rajapakse created
racist or religiously divisive ones)
I
am entitled to FIGHT to the death to defend myself from these IMBECILES.
It
is time reasonable and rational people of Sri Lanka rise up and protect their
Human Rights from these excuses for Human Beings, who are NOT tolerated by
their peers of Buddhism, who see them for what they truly are.
Sri
Lanka is faced with numerous issues, by parties outside our country, who also
are opportunistic who use the malpractices of a deviant Government to lump the
whole country, as one with the sins of their rulers, and therefore force all of
us to suffer. Adding the BBS to this deviant behavior further compounds
attempts at reconciliation and perception of a Country divided, due to actions
of a few who appear to hog the media for their personal popularity, selling out
their country and its unity for petty pleasures of sick minds.
Its
these traitors who should be first burned at the stake if anyone is held
accountable. There is a permanent Sri Lankan Diaspora overseas and the Sinhala
people in this Diaspora, ignorantly believe the rot that is spewed out by these
venomous creatures. It is natural for any Diaspora, to take extreme views on
matters relating to issues in their home countries, (differing from reality at
home) and they can do more harm to harmony than at home, just as the Tamil
Diaspora are also in this insane desire for revenge!!
It
is up to the sensible majority (sadly silent) in Sri Lanka to take up the
mantle and defeat any threat to the Unity of the state, either from the BBS or
the Tamil Diaspora, who appear to embolden some of the TNA to take an
unreasonably intransigent stance, due to the equally intransigent Govt. of despots,
who prefer the divisive politics to all encompassing politics for their survival.
The
population of Sri Lanka are the losers due to these rotten apples in power and media
forefront. Prominence MUST be given to the true Nationalists who are painted as
traitors, as the traitors have the upper-hand to point the finger outward, rather
than inward.
The
time has come to expose the con of the GOSL backers and their henchmen in extremist
groups such as Ravana, and BBS, no different to fundamentalist Islamists.
