Colombo, March 26 (Daily Mirror) - The exposition of the Sacred Tooth Relic of the Buddha will ensure religious harmony in Sri Lanka while it helps safeguard Buddhism which is the backbone of national heritage, Archbishop of Colombo Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith said today.

“The steps taken by the government and the Venerable Mahanayaka Theras to initiate an exposition of the Scared Tooth Relic is a welcome move. Everyone should ensure its success. I request Catholics to consider this event as a special one which brings religious harmony,” the Cardinal added.

Looks like a joke. I cannot see a nexus between the exposition and harmony. May be trying to please the Theros. These kind of empty talks do not take the country anywhere

In history it is recorded that the tooth came into possession of the Portuguese who took it to Goa and destroyed it

Forensically analyse the ‘ sacred tooth ‘. Science and knowledge have evolved in this century. Call the world renowned experts to once and for all settle the authenticity, whether human or an animal remain.

How it brings religious harmony when each religion is based on its unique values and doctrines? It is a sacred event only of Buddhists and others may support it as a cultural event, aligning with tourism. But this Govt. and the monks, surprisingly overlapped this rare sacred exposition during Sri Pada season making it difficult for the economically down ordinary people who have already spent for the latter.

Your Eminence, have you forgotten the first Commandment? You sound like a Baal worshipper. You should be ashamed of yourself for the utterances you make, especially considering we are in the holy season of Lent.
