The
Buddha Sasana Ministry on a directive of the Minister of
Buddha Sasana Ratnasiri Wickramanayaka has arranged to hold
a series of Pahan Poojas, Dhamma Sermons and Bodhi Poojas at
Buddhist Temples throughout the island on January 26 to
invoke merit on all those who died due to tsunami disaster.
Secretary to the Ministry of Buddha Sasana D.W. Abeywickrama
said that the respective Sasana Arakshaka Mandalayas will
organise these pinkamas at Temples under their purview. The
main Pinkama will be held in Colombo at 6 p.m. on January 26
at Sambuddhaloka Viharaya, under the patronage of Minister
Ratnasiri Wickramanayaka.
The Ministry appeals to all people to flock to Temples and
participate in Pinkamas to invoke merit on their departed
brethren displaying their feeling for humanity in the same
manner in which all sections united to assist to provide
relief to those who were affected by the disaster.
