The Sambuddha Jayanti Tripitaka book series, which has been declared a National Heritage will be written in English, published on the internet and then printed, Buddhasasana, Religious and Cultural Affairs Minister Vidura Wickramanayake said.

He said the decision was taken following the request of the Most Venerable Maha Sangha at a meeting at the Ministry.

This decision has been taken for the sake of all parties of lay clergy who are interested in studying the Tripitaka locally and internationally, with the aim of spreading Buddhism throughout the world.

This work is to be done after obtaining the advice and approval of the Venerable Mahanayakes.

In order to successfully carry out this work, three boards should be appointed: a Supreme Board, a Supervisory Board and a Executive Board, and the approval of the Cabinet of Ministers should also be obtained, Minister Wickramanayake added. (Chaturanga Pradeep Samarawickrama)

A long-waited action that will enable the world to understand the reality from myths and fallacies? Hopefully the minister will be able to fulfill the promise given.

The need of the hour is not more words on the internet but practice the teachings here in Sri Lanka especially by the politicos. They pay lip service but break every tenet. Hypocrites.

This should be given highest priority as it will sort all the issues of the country and ensure corruption erased and good governance by our heroic leaders. Like our defense budget, we must allocate maximum amounts for this kind of uselessly useful activities so that the ignorance of this countries citizens improves like it will never improve again.

Someone please donate a copy to the Rajapaksa family and extended family and associates, if they had ever followed the book the country and its people wouldn't have faced the plight we are facing now.
