Lion became a cat on that particular day in BMICH. By the way, who bothered whether he's a lion, cat or a dog? We had the privilege to receive our MA degree certificates from Rev. Dr. Oswald Gomis and never had a second thought of refuse to accept from him.

How does a human being compare himself to a carnivore animal, and at his age? Something amiss..

Now he's a lion?!?!. He's forgotten he's a monk and what being a monk means.

It's shame for Muruththettuwe Thera to say this. He have to go out near future.

Some of these youth would have been non Buddhist, a significant number of Uni Dons are born again

What are your educational qualifications to hang on as Chancellor disregarding all norms. Is it being a trade union leader leading a majority of female Nurses

"He said everyone should keep in mind that lions do not graze, no matter....." Everyone should also keep in mind that Lions sleep for up to 20 hours.

He actually gave credit to the graduates who refused. Lions did not want grass indeed.

Once upon a time, we had Balu Sinhayo in Sri Lanka in the 1970s.

What a shame ?- he does not seem to have the slightest idea of resigning despite the critical comments from even the Buddhist Clergy. Not second to Gnanasara !

Then it would not be a surprise if you wouldn't be disturbed if people no longer worship you. Glad I won't even see you.

It is a great humiliation. You should learn from this incident rather than talking non sense. You should resign now if you want to keep your dignity

When CBK appointed a Christian priest without any educational or vocational qualification, no body uttered a word. Why now when a Buddhist monk appointed.
