Passing away of the Thero is unbearable at a time when his service to the whole community is most required. It is our duty to continue his work. May he attain Nirvana.

The demise of Ven. Kusaladamma thero at his early age is a great loss to the Sri Lankan Buddhists here and also around the world. He has been brought to this world from the heaven no doubt. Surely he would have gone back to heaven as he has done so much to spread pure Buddhism around the world. May he attain Nibbana.
