A Bodhi Pooja was held at the Hunupitiya Gangarama Temple this evening to invoke blessings on 12 Thai boys and their coach who were rescued from a cave that they were trapped in for 17 days. Religious observances were also held in memory of an army officer who was killed in the effort to rescue the boys. The religious observances were held on the advice of Chief Incumbent of the Gangarama Temple Venerable Galaboda Gnanissara Thera. Venerable Dr. Kirinde Assaji Thera conducted the religious observances. A group of officials from the Thai Embassy in Colombo including Thai Ambassador Ms. Chulamanee Chartsuwan also participated in the ceremony. Pix by Pradeep Pathirana

We should have invited the boys to Sri Lanka and does the Pooja.

Why after rescuing the boys keeping Podhi Pooja, they should have done that when the boys were in the cave in doubt and uncertainty of their lives.
