Budune_T.Shelton Perera_බුදුනේ

අද අධි වෙසක් පෝය දවස. ඉතිං මම හිතුවා අදට ගැලපෙන සිංදුවක් දෙන්න. එදා ටී.ෂෙල්ටන් පෙරේරා, ආරාධනා චිත්‍රපටයට ගැයූ "බුදුනේ" ගීතය , මට තිබෙන සම්පත් අනුව සකස්කලා. එදා දෙවිදත්තර, බුදුන් මැරීමට පෙරලූ ගල,සහ සම්බුද්ධ පරිනිර්වානය සිදුවූ ස්ථාන,මෙය නැරබීමේදී අප සංවේදී බවට පත් කරයි.
I've created this video according to available resources. One of the grate Buddhist song ever was T.Shelton Perera's Budune, sang for the movie "Aradhana". I think this is a very sensitive moment for you to watch this video specially , you'll see the stone that Dewdaththara had thrown to Lord Buddha to kill. and also the place of parinirvana, Kusinaranuwara.

Buddhism and sinful killing

Buddhism and sinful killing

http://www.island.lk/2010/04/28/opinion4.html

Mr.E.M.G. Edirisinghe, in the Opinion section of The Island, 21-3-10, titled "Why I am a Vegetarian", states that there are, quote:" according to Buddhism five requirements for killing to be a sin". They are quote: ‘(1) that animal should have life (2) the one who intends taking its life should know that it has life. (3) he should have the intention (mens rea) to kill, (4) he must have a plan to kill it, and (5) it should die as a result of the execution of that plan". The first two criteria are oxymoronic, as is the fifth. One would not kill anything that is dead or one knows to be dead! The third is a moral concept which is universally accepted. It is noteworthy, that he explains it in Latin, in parenthesis, rather than in Pali! The fourth is that killing must be premeditated to be a Buddhist sin of killing.

He explains that "Otherwise it may lead to any other sin but not to the sin of taking the life of a living being.

His view of Buddhist teaching on "eating "flesh" is as follows: "Eating flesh itself is no sin. However, eating flesh of an animal slaughtered by another person could be an indirect promotion of animal slaughter. However, absence of intention to promote slaughter could minimize the gravity of committing a sin".

Of course , this is tantamount to absolving the individual of habituation to a harmful food, drug or anti-social behaviour, because the facilities for it are provided for by someone else!

There are preachers and teachers of Buddhism who present the teachings of the Buddha, from the Theravadian Buddhist canonical scriptures known as Tripitaka, as they understand them. There are also pundits who see a basis for every branch of knowledge, from mathematics, science, and logic, to history and philosophy, in Buddhism. These dissertations usually make assumptions which strain both intelligence and rationality. There are also many, who following the exhortations of the Buddha that one should think for oneself, express their own thoughts and views as authentic tenets of Buddhism.

Mr. Edirisinghe, no doubt, belongs to the last mentioned group. For one of average intelligence, it must seem that what he says is clearly disingenuous, illogical nonsense. Again, is there some basis for his views in Buddhist scriptures?

by Premasara Epasinghe

http://www.island.lk/2010/04/28/features1.html

From time immemorial, Sinhala Culture is woven round Buddhism. It is inseparable. Therefore, the Sinhala Buddhist calendar is also closely linked to important events that took place, coinciding Buddhist events.

The 12 months in the Sinhala calendar is known as Duruthu (January), Navam (February), Medin (March), Bak (April), Vesak (May), Poson (June), Esala (July), Nikini (August), Binara (September), Vap (October), Il (November), Uduvap (December).

According to the 2010 Sinhala calendar, astrologically, there is an additional (Adhi) month. Therefore, this year records 13 Pasalosvaka Full Moon Poya Days.

Although the recognised Vesak Full Moon Poya Day falls on Thursday 27, May 2010, there is an additional Vesak Poya called "Adhi Vesak Full Moon Poya Day" on Wednesday 28, April 2010. This Adhi Poya occurs once in 3 years, due to the change of planentary movements.

There are 365 days in an year. According to astrology and Nekath, they calculate a year usually as 360 days. The planets namely Iru, Chandra, Angaharu, Buda, Brahaspathi, Sikuru, Senasuru, Rahu and Khetu, Rotates round the Sun. Sometimes the course of the planetary movements change. According to astrological calculations, this leads to an additional month. That’s the rewon, according to this years, Sinhala calendar, adhi Vesak Full Moon Poya dawns, in April 2010.

Normally, Duruthu Poya dawns in the month of January. But, in the year 2009 Duruthu Full Moon Poya Day fell on 31st December 2009. Navam Poya, thus fell on 29 January 2010.

In 2004, there were two Nikini Full Moon Poya Days. In addition, in 2007 there were two Poson Full Moon Poya Days. In the same way, this year, there are two Vesak Full Moon Poya Days, namely, Adhi Vesak on 28th April 2010 and Vesak Full Moon Poya Day will be celebrated world over on Thursday, 27th May 2010.

Sukho Buddhanam Uppado

Sukha Saddhammadesana

Sukha Sanghassa Samaggi

Samagganam Tapo Sukho - (Dhammapada:- 194)

Happy is the Birth of Buddhas.

Happy is the Teachings of the Sublime Dhamma.

Happy is the unity of Sangha.

Happy is the discipline of the United ones.

Three Great Events

The three great events in the life of the Buddha are - the birth of Prince Sidhartha, the Bodhisatva at the Royal Park of Lumbini, His attainment of the Perfect Enlightement in his 35th year under the shade of Sri Maha Bodhi at Buddha Gaya.

His demise after a noble ministry that lasted 45 years at Kusinara in the Sala Grove, Upavartana that belonged to Royalty of Malla-occured on the Vesak Full Moon Poya Day. It is renowned as the most sacred Poya Day in the Buddhist world over.

On this adhi Vesak Full Moon Poya Day, it will be relevant to draw your kind attention to the 20 point plan of action, to be jointly implemented by the Maha Sangha, the Government of Sri Lanka and general public to commemorate the 2600 Sambuddhatva Jayanthi. It will be relevant to human development process or the moral regeneration of our Society that will commence in view of the Sambuddatva Jayanthi should continue far beyond 2011 so that the world at large could gain long lasting benefits.

The Buddhist Flag

The Buddhist history of Sri Lanka records, a very important event that took place 125 years ago on a Adhi Vesak Full Moon Poya Day. The attractive, beautiful Buddhist Flag which consists of six colours - Neela (Blue), Peeta (Yellow), Lohita (Maroon), Odatha (White), Manjesta (Orange), Prabhasvara (Mixture of above five colors) was officially hoisted at the Deepadhuttaramaya Temple, Kotahena on 28 April 1885. Among the Dignitaries present on this occasion was Hikkaduwe Sri Sumangala Maha Thera, Migettuwatte Gunananda Maha Thera and Henry Steele Olcott, the Father of Buddhist education in Sri Lanka.

Out of all world religious leaders in the world the Blessed One, the Great Master, has made an enormous impact on human civilization by discovering the sublime Eight fold path composed of eight categories or divisions namely.

Appropriate Perspective, Aspirations, Speech, action, Lifestyle, Effort, Mindfulness, Concentration. Whether it is Wesak or Adhi Wesak, the need of the hour is to follow the Message of the Buddha Dhamma. The knowledge of Buddhism is the key to the higher Path to attain calmness and peace in life. Buddhism can be considered as a way of living.

Today, on this Adhi Vesak Poya Day temples will be filled to capacity. Going through the chronicle Mahavamsa, King Dutugemunu, Bhatiya, Vasakha held 26 and 46 Vesak Festivals respectively.

Further, Voharatissa, Gotabhaya, Jettahssa, Dalamugalan, Sena II, Parakramabahu the great. Celebrated Vesak in a grand scale in the ancient Sri Lanka. This tradition is continued upto date.

One of the cardinal principles of the blessed one is peaceful and harmonious living.

On this day of Adhi Vesak, let us recite a stanza, which condense what Buddhism is all about. This is what all Buddhist should follow and practice.

Sabbapapassa Akaranam

Kusalassa Upasampada

Sacchittapariyo Dapanam

Etam Buddhana Sasanam (Dhammapada 183)

To refrain from doing evil, to indulge in doing good, it cleanse one’s mind - this is the teaching of the Buddha.

May all beings be happy!

H.R. Jothipala with Lathawalpola for the Sri Lankan president Mahinda Rajapaksha.
සමනළ මුදුනේ - ජොතිපාල සමඟ ලතා වල්පොල අපේ මහින්ද රාජපක්ෂ ජනධිපතිතුමා වෙනුවෙන් ගී ගැයූ හැටි.

ඔන්න අද මම අපේ රට වෙනුවෙන් පුංචි වැඩක් කලා. එදා හිටපු ජෝතිපාල අද හිටියනම් අනිවාර්යෙන්ම අපේ ජනාධිපති තුමා එක්කම තමයි. මොකද එතුමා රටවෙනුවෙන් කරන සේවය දැක්කම කාටද උදවු නොකර ඉන්න හිතෙන්නෙ. අදත් අපේ ජෝතිපාල හිටියනම් ජනාධිපති තුමා වෙනුවෙන් ඉස්සෙල්ලම සිංදු කියන්නෙ එතුමා.
Mahinda Rajapaksha is the hero in Sri Lanka, born as a king after thousands of years for the people. H.R. Jothipala was the only mega singer in Sri Lanka died in 1987, still he is the most popular singer and the most selling album artist in the country. I'm sure he is here, he surely dedicate for the country and will be there as a shadow of Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksha as he done before his death. Then I've created a video with combination of both two heroes who almost dedicated entire life for the mother land, Sri Lanka. I'm sure If Jothi is here he is the only person who enjoy watching this video (Without my names and pic on there). I used my photos and watermarks only for the ownership of this and this is not for sell. only for sharing. Thanks millions who created these original photos and videos for the country. I'm only a user and not a creator.Thanks for watching this.
