Its multi cultural country. As a president for all people he can't stand in one value.

great!! Sri Lanka should be a Buddhists country for another thousand years. (while respecting the values of other religions)

I hope the Hon. President can do something about animal sacrificing which needs to be stopped and also the inhuman way animals are slaughtered. If he is a true Buddhist as he says and wants to make SL a country with Buddhist values then it is high time he does this.

The value of buddhism is its correct and ardent practice. Buddhism in Sri Lanka is more rituals than the actual practice.

Then release Sf using that value.

stop fishing also for not harming fishes because they are also living beings

Concepts like "forget the past ", "develop the Country with Buddhist values " are very good ideas to anyone. But the need of the hour is, give a practicle example by stopping the humilation and harrasment against SF.

"Balalobhikama" and taking credit for what others have done are not buddhist values.

TMA Thursday, 23 September 2010 04:24 AM

Fox is splititing fools words dont disgrace Buddhism. First follow it then spell it. Telling all lying and doing all wrong things is that call Buddhism what a crap

suwimal Thursday, 23 September 2010 04:36 AM

Yea, Yea! But taking revenge is not a Buddhist value as far as my knowledge of buddhism is concerned or is it , according to new Mahinda?

Ravi Thursday, 23 September 2010 08:21 AM

yes, the human sacrifice also should be stopped.

Mifaz Thursday, 23 September 2010 10:13 AM
