India has agreed to temporarily lend fragments of Buddha’s bones, famously known as the Kapilavastu relics, to Sri Lanka for an exposition to celebrate his 2600th year of enlightenment later this year. It will the be the first time in decades that the fragile bone fragments, kept at the National Museum, will be taken outside India.amedha Monday, 14 February 2011 03:26 AM

Good for Sri-Lanka. Protect this while this is in Sri Lanka and keep it away from corrupt leaders.

All this is not necessary. Just focus on the Dhamma. Today there is an unhealthy obsession with celebrations, decorating temples and public property with lights and colourful polythene. The Buddha didn't ask for any of this splendour.

Fist of all i am not a Buddhist as far as i know the Buddhist text Buddha never stated, that "I am God. Worship me". Nor did he instruct or ask that his statues be built and worshipped in any way or form (Toothrelic/Kapilawasthu). None of the authentic Buddhist scriptures prescribe or encourage idol worship.Many Buddhist scholars considers the evolution of the concept of Buddha as a god or as an object of worship within Buddhism as an effect of Hinduism. According to the Dhammapada, volume 10 pg., 67: "The Thathagatas are only Preachers.” This confirms the age-old tendency amongst humans to deify and worship those human beings who have been preachers and reformers. So then why should Buddhist worship Buddha’s statue or remains of Buddha? But some can argue that everyone has right to worship what he believes, so in that case he follows a religion of his own but not the Buddhism. This is my personal view on Buddhism and its believe I wish to correct myself if I am wrong.

Buddha was an ordinary human born to a royal family. He was a very intelligent man and a great philosopher. The great Buddha would never have approved of this type of thing. This is not Buddhism.

It is the satisfaction that you get, by viewing, worshipping a great philosopher. No where Budda has told even to script his words.

You are absolutely right. The buddhism found in SL is ridicule to the original teachings of great lord buddha. This includes planting statues in every nook and corner of roadways, blasting pirith on loudspeakers and many rituals that ride on dravidian hindu systems. This all boils down whether sinhalese use buddhsim for the sake of flaunting a religeon while not adhering to the actual principles.
