Udugama Sri Ratanapala Buddharakkitha thera said that they withheld their decision considering the security aspect of and Buddhist monks and devotees who are supposed to assemble in large numbers at Mahamaluwa of Sri Dalanda Maligawa, under the present circumstances of the country.

Sahodarayas were going to stir up the country using clergy as a cat's paw. Plan failed. Move on to the next item on the list.

For those who thought that SF was going to be a 'Military Dictator,' and voted against him, here is the answer.

Been 'arm-twisted' / threatend into canceling ? I think, this is, officially, a turning point ... 'the final nail in the coffin' of democracy. No other regime in this country, has ever pressured or abused the Maha Sangha, in this despicable manner.
Tuesday, 16 February 2010 09:41 PM
... Which shows that Sri Lanka is no more a democratic country !

Rajapakshe is feared that he may have to step down soon.
Tuesday, 16 February 2010 06:07 PM
This is begining.
We will se wanders soon!.Tuesday, 16 February 2010 05:51 PM
If the Sanga leaders cannot meet due to security threats (you know from whom!), what more need to be said about our demo-crazy?

good news for mr

Some one has definitely issued a threat not to proceed with the convention with severe repurcussions for those who take part. Thats why Athuraliye Rathana Thera said he will not heed this call.

HAVE THE MONKS BEEN THREATENED????????/

I'm ashamed of being born in this country where only a section of the people have their say.
Tuesday, 16 February 2010 04:24 PM
Mahanayakas must be threatened by dictators
Tuesday, 16 February 2010 03:47 PM
Great SF entered politics to end up in prison as a traiter. Good decision by maha sangha not to step into to political arena.
Tuesday, 16 February 2010 03:46 PM
Have the most venerable Mahanayakas also been threatened to stop the convention?
Tuesday, 16 February 2010 03:45 PM
Ultimately most venerable mahanayaka theras had taken a wise decision not to deceived by defeated bankrupt politicians.

"Divide" is the name of the game. "Unite" is the way to win it :)
Tuesday, 16 February 2010 03:36 PM
its a shame that even religion cannot unite for the greater good.
Tuesday, 16 February 2010 03:35 PM
No ne can go against Mahinda...this is a good example the country has now a dictator..
Tuesday, 16 February 2010 03:33 PM
Mahanayakas have already contributed to disrupt the peaceful atmosphere in the country.
