This foundation was created together with my book and online portal with the vision of helping propagate the Lotus Sutra among the citizens of Sri Lanka and ultimately the world.
So that we may all benefit from this wonderful and eloquent sutra which was gifted to us by the great Shakyamuni Gauthama Buddha with the promise "To save all us living beings of the Saha world", While enriching and nourishing our day to day life with the Buddha energy. So that we may lead a fruitful and joyous life as we journey towards our salvation.
To re-energize Sri Lanka with the "Vishwa shakthi" (Buddha energy) which was once prevalent in our country, during the time when Abhayagiriya viharaya was given royal patronage and Buddhayana was venerated.
I would like to awaken Sri Lankans to re discover this link to the "Vishwa shakthi" (Buddha energy) that we enjoyed during our glorious past, and use the light of the Lotus Sutra to once again re-energized our mother land with the blessings, guidance and protection of the "Vishwa shakthi" (Buddha energy).
Through the practice of Ekayana, Sri Lanka will re-achieve its former glory and through international propagation. I believe we can come one step closer to global peace.

My father’s answers to my questions were that I was born in this era because I didn’t have enough merit to have had access to the Buddha and therefore He “the Buddha” could not summon me.
But still these questions...Read More
