I'm not sure. Let's try to stay calm. We can help build theravada buddhism. I am pretty sure those monks are also concerned about the country and the well-being of their followers, who face poverty and health challenges.

I saw a white monk, called Ajan Brahma tell people to focus on standing on their own two feet

And so I don't think all theravada or mahayana monks are equal

Some of them, want the people here to be able to thrive for real

It's saddening

When I read What Buddha Taught by Walpola Rahula (from Thilanga's bookshelf), I saw there were concerns over ███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

And I can totally understand it

We won't continue in this downhill descent we've been rolling in

When my grandma took over the All Ceylon Buddhist Congress, it was a mess, downtrodden with debt and the whole place was failing

When she and her son Jagath Sumathipala left, they left it as a place that was successful

███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

as I am a Christian now,

You can see█████████████ seemingly prevail in everything that is "Sri Lanka", which we want to repair

█████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

████████████████████████████

████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

We will do what my grandma Milina, the first female head of ACBC did, except on a national scale

We'll go from how █████ hides behind Buddha's stories about refusing to answer accusers in Al Jazeera interviews

To a nation that Steve Jobs and Lisa Simpson would marvel at, as a country that just works
