The information about the people who lived in Lanka in Load Buddha's time has been set aside in the chronicles. The act of discussing this matter is forbidden. And also some people are not interested in discussing this matter in public. But, most of them do believe that these incidents have a relationship with the two clans called <i>Yakkha </i>and <i>Naga</i>. The Buddhist scholars living in Sri Lanka may not be interested in considering them as human beings.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Mr. C. W. Nicholas claims a great position as a scholar who showed a special interests in disclosing facts related to ancient<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lanka. This great effort made by him is portrayed in his great book titled <i>'Historical Topography of Ancient and Medieval Ceylon'</i>. Amongst the other great information disclosed by this book, there is one special statement and it is as follows.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
'The King Pachina means the king for the eastern region. A king bearing this name cannot be found in the historical chronicles' (Page 129). This statement is in great importance as it is considered as something dates back to the period of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>B.C. In fact, the value of this statement is a great wealth and for that a special investigation has to be executed. Then, who is this king in the east? It is necessary to look in to this matter.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
First, we need to keep our close eyes on the inscription presented by Mr. Nicholas to understand this particular matter.

Ambulamabe, where these inscriptions are found, was called Ambasandaa in the ancient times. In the time of Buddha, there had been a village of Brahamans called <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ambasandaa, Sakkapannya Suthra discloses. This is disclosed in the said Suthra as follows.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"Evan me suthan ekan samayan bhagawa magadhesu viharathi, pachinatho rajagahassa ambasandaa naama brahakmanagaamo, thassuththaratho vediyake pabbathe indasaalaguhaayan thena kho pana samayena sakkassa dewaanammindassa ussukkan udapaadi baghawaththa dassnaaya." (Diganikaya, Sakkapanya Suthra).</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The palace of Pachina, Bahaman village called Ambasandaa, the rock called Vediya and Indasala cave <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>are stated in the back ground story of this Suthra. Above mentioned both inscriptions explain the fact that King Pachina and the village called Ambasanda had been situated in Lanka. And let us look in to the two other inscriptions which help to identify the locations of the rock called Vediya and the cave called Indasala. Two inscriptions found in Bambaragala can be taken as examples for this matter.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<i>814. Pachina rajaha nagayaha jayha bamana kojayhara jhithaya upashika dathaya lene</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<i>817.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>indashala guha shagasha</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

a heritage of Lanka is explained in Poojawaliya<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6057233276810002454#_edn8" name="_ednref8" style="mso-endnote-id: edn8;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Iskoola Pota"; mso-bidi-language: SI-LK; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[viii]</span></span></span></span></a>
as well, but with some little changes in to it. That particular explanation in
Poojawaliya goes as follows. '' … hence the identity of Makhadeva Dynasty <a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6057233276810002454#_edn9" name="_ednref9" style="mso-endnote-id: edn9;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Iskoola Pota"; mso-bidi-language: SI-LK; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[ix]</span></span></span></span></a>
experienced some changes (later),<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>finally,
a king called Ashoka who is the son of Kalara Janaka<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6057233276810002454#_edn10" name="_ednref10" style="mso-endnote-id: edn10;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Iskoola Pota"; mso-bidi-language: SI-LK; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[x]</span></span></span></span></a>
came in the throne. His son was Okkaaka <span style="font-family: FMAbhaya;">»</span>.
From then,the identity of Makhadeva Dynasty was changed and continued as Okkaaka
Dynasty. (Poojawaliya,Page 114). Here, a king called Nimi is not mentioned and
he has been replaced with Makhadeva Dynasty. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The king called Kalarajanaka found in Wansaththapakasani
has been identified as Kaalaarajanaka in Poojawaliya. This small change found
in the name is not a serious matter to be worried about. But, according to Wansaththapakasani
the son of Kalarajanaka is King Samankara. According to Poojawaliya he is
Ashoka and this drives to a very complicated situation. Ashoka is the son of
King Samankara, Wansaththapakasani reports. In this case, we can consider Wansaththapakasani
as the most ancient book and also can depend on the information given by it as
it has taken information from Atuwa itself. There is another reason to be considered
the information of Atuwa as true and more historical. That is because, that
information has been proved by the inscriptions as well. The inscription
discovered from Dulwala is a sound example for this task. That inscription is
given below.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
810. parumaka shumana putha
ashokaha lene (Inscriptions of Ceylon,62)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
It is evident that this Shumana
found in this inscription is Samankara who is found in Atuwa aswell. This name
called Samankara has been mentioned as Shumana across all the inscription. It
is evident by all the inscriptions written for God Saman<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6057233276810002454#_edn11" name="_ednref11" style="mso-endnote-id: edn11;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Iskoola Pota"; mso-bidi-language: SI-LK; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[xi]</span></span></span></span></a>,
and in all of them, his name has been highlighted as Shumana (Shumana Saman).
This suggests two things, first, Ashoka mentioned in Wansaththapakasani is the
son of Samankara and secondly this dynasty is a part<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>of the heritage Heladeepa or Lanka.</div>

The footrest used by Buddha to place his sacred feet is called Padapitikaa. This footrest has its great historical values. The history of Lanka dates back to thousands of years and this is evident by the acceptable facts found in the Story Padapitika<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6057233276810002454#_edn2" name="_ednref2" style="mso-endnote-id: edn2;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[ii]</span></span></span></span></a>. The worship of sacred footprints of the Buddha was an ancient custom prevailed in Lanka. These Padapitikas can be found at the historical places which date back to Buddha’s era. What we can see at the museum at Anuradapura are nothing else but these Padapitikas. The stones of sacred footprints which were discovered from a vicinity of Anuradapura are piled up at the museum ground. By reading the Story Padapitika in Saddharmalankaraya with a more realistic approach, we can realize the truth hidden in it.</div>

Note –Buddhists living in Sri Lanka organize <i>Bana</i> ceremonies (sermons or Dhamma discussions) at their homes (or at the monastery or any other special places) for many reasons. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A head table is place for the preacher; the Buddhist monk. In many occasions, even up to data, it is the custom to place a footrest in front of the chair used by the monk. Padapitika is the reason behind this custom.</div>

<br />
Now, I decided to explain some important things about Hela language and also the heritage of the Buddha. Why? Otherwise this sermon will not be fruitful. <br />
<br />
All of you know that we had a great scholar in our country. Kumarathunga Munidasa was this great scholar, he was well known for the Hela Language. This eminent scholar had written a particular song. What is this song? Listen to it well.<br />
<br />
Apa Rata Hela ( Our country is Hela) <span style="color: red;">1</span><br />
Apa daya Hela (Our nationality is Hela)<br />
Apa basa Hela (Our language is Hela)<br />
Hela, Hela, Hela (Hela, Hela, Hela)<br />
Nuwanath Hela (The wisdom is also Hela)<br />
Niwanath Hela (Nibbana<span style="color: red;">2</span> is also Hela)<br />
Idiriyatama Yaw (Go forward, never step back)<br />
<br />
You should analyze his song. In this song, Hela is mentioned thrice. Why? Apa Rata Hela (Our country is Hela), Apa Daya Hela (Our nationality is Hela), Apa Basa Hela (Our language is Hela). All these are Hela.Then he says… Nuwanath Hela (The wisdom is also Hela). Then, why did he say Nuwanath Hela (The wisdom is also Hela)?There are 64 types of arts and sciences in our country. All these 64 types of technologies are found in Hela. In order to acquire them, this wisdom is a must. It is not possible to learn them without the wisdom. Niwanath Hela (Nibbana is also Hela). Who did preach Nibbana? It was preached by The Lord Buddha. If Nibbana is also Hela, then the Buddha himself is also Hela, this is what he meant, nothing else.And also he says Idiriyatama Yaw (Go forward, never step back). He wanted us to explore all these and go forward.Explore all these and go forward …. he wrote in this manner in the past.<br />
<br />
All these times nobody could explain the hidden meaning of this song. Because of that these very important things got disappeared. So, now we have to rediscover them. We need to disclose them again.<br />
<br />
Then, there is another important poem found in Mangala Siritha.<span style="color: red;">3</span><br />
<br />
ekuru darmaya lowata poojitha karapu jayasiri …….mangalam <br />
akuru nipunawa esiw sata silpayak daru …….mangalam<br />
akuru palamuwa mavu muniduge balen wei jaya …….mangalam<br />
sikurugen wana apala duru weya jaya …….mangalam<br />
<br />
Now, let me explain this.<br />
<br />
‘akuru palamuwa mavu muniduge balen wei jaya …….mangalam’<br />
<br />
Let this (couple) be blessed with the spiritual powers of the Muni (Load Buddha) who first created Sinhala alphabet.<br />
<br />
Kumarathunga Munidasa, the great scholar in our time, says Niwanath Hela (Nibbana is also Hela)<br />
What he said was that The Lord Buddha is a Sri Lankan. But these poems were written thousand years before his time.<br />
<br />
‘akuru palamuwa mavu muniduge balen wei jaya …….mangalam’<br />
<br />
Let this (couple) be blessed with the spiritual powers of the Muni (Load Buddha) who first created Sinhala alphabet.<br />
<br />
Who did first create the Sinhala alphabet? It was by The Lord Buddha himself. <br />
<br />
Nothing is false in this. This is the truth. We cannot use falsehood and bless somebody. These have been the absolute truth. Then only one will get the spiritual strength of them. <br />
<br />
It is clearly mentioned in this verse ‘akuru palamuwa mavu muniduge balen wei jaya …….mangalam’.<br />
<br />
Let this (couple) be blessed with the spiritual powers of the Muni (Load Buddha) who first created Sinhala alphabet.<br />
<br />
And also you all are aware…. <br />
<br />
‘ekuru darmaya lowata poojitha karapu jayasiri …….mangalam’<br />
<br />
Let this (couple) be blessed with the spiritual powers of the introduction of Kuru Darma.<br />
There is a story called ‘Kuru Darma Jathaka’ in the Jathaka Potha.<span style="color: red;">4</span><br />
<br />
What can you learn from ‘Kuru Darma Jathaka’? You must have read this story in the book, but haven’t analyzed it. <br />
<br />
‘ekuru darmaya’ means …that particular Kuru Darma…. lowata poojitha karapu jayasiri …….mangalam<br />
<br />
Let this (couple) be blessed with the spiritual powers of the introduction of Kuru Darma.<br />
<br />
‘Kuru Darma’ is Pancha Seela,<span style="color: red;">5</span> nothing else…. you should read the Jathaka Story and learn it.<br />
What is Pancha Seela? I am not going to explain it right now….. I am not going to explain it right now…..but in the future.<br />
Here, it talks about Akuru (the alphabet). Why did it mention about the creation of Sinhala alphabet?<br />
<br />
The Tripitaka <span style="color: red;">6</span> has to be documented. The Dhamma preached by The Lord Buddha has to be documented.Were they documented with the letters of found in India? No. They were documented with rounded Sinhala scripts found here in Lanka.<br />
<br />
This Dhamma in Tripitaka was the alphabet created by The Lord Buddha.Tripitaka was documented and teachings were stored, accumulated into Sinhala alphabet. If the teachings were stored in words, they are tend to be modified. But the alphabet will not be changed. It was the sages lived in our country who stored the teachings in to the alphabet. <br />
<br />
In Mahavamsa,<span style="color: red;">7</span> there are only 2 stanzas about the documentation of Tripitaka. It is not explained well, even to this date that place where Tripitaka was documented cannot be identified. Why?So, then it had to be explained all these things. When all these things are explained, everything will be exposed. Because of this reason, everything was hidden and concealed.Therefore everything was hidden and concealed.Even to this date, we have to get the proper direction for Nibbana with the help of these letters.<br />
This is called Nirukthi.<br />
<br />
When this is presented, someone may say that we have lost our minds. In fact, we have not lost our minds. As they cannot understand this truth, actually, they have lost their minds. Understood?<br />
Do you know what they would say when they cannot understand something? They would say that we are stupid and crazy.That is the nature of the people living in our country. If that particular man cannot understand this, the one who explains it will be labeled as a mad man.So, people get confused and walk on the wrong direction.<br />
<br />
‘akuru palamuwa mavu muniduge balen wei jaya …….mangalam’<br />
<br />
When this alphabet is well analised and explained, one will be able to understand the teachings of Buddha and the pride of the people living in the Heladeepa (Sri Lanka).<br />
<br />
The teaching of the Buddha is very scientific.The knowledge of mathematics, the science and the art is found in the teachings of the Buddha. Let me give you an example.<br />
<br />
The Zero, The One, The Six and Ramanaya (The love or the act of getting together). This is the origin of the world, the origin of the mankind.This was clearly preached by The Lord Buddha. Nobody did understand this. <br />
<br />
Then, here, it is found the mathematics. Here, it is found the science...<br />
<br />
All these Dharmathas (phenomena) such as mathematics and the sciences can be found in the teachings of The Lord Buddha.<br />
<br />
Our alphabet is constructed taking these facts as is basis. It can be seen in the ‘head’ of these scripts. <br />
When we write Sinhala scripts, we start it with a zero.<br />
<br />
The Zero, The One, The Six and The Nine.<span style="color: red;">8</span><br />
<br />
This is the Dharmatha…. the world, the alphabet and the planetary system will come under this teaching.In this manner, all these can be analyzed and explained by using the teachings of Buddha. <br />
This is the why our alphabet was used to for the documentation of the teachings of Buddha.<br />
<br />
In order to interpret (Nirukthi) these letters; all the special alphabetic features<span style="color: red;">9</span> found in Sinhalese Alphabet which are used along with the main letters, should be taken off from the main letter\s. <br />
<br />
There are vowels and consonants for any letter found in our alphabet.<br />
<br />
What is meant by vowels? The consonants cannot be pronounced as they are. And a vowel has to be added in to that. Then only it can be pronounced. <br />
<br />
Let’s take the letter Pa (Payanna-ප) for example. It is possessed with two letters, namely, Pa(ප)+A(අ). This is originated with an atom. The world is also originated with an atom. The mankind, the life of the other living things such as tress are also originated with an atom.Everything is originated with an atom.This is originated with a life of an atom. That is what explained in this.The world will be originated with the possession of an atom, that is what explained here. That Dhamma is what is stored in these letters\alphabet. <br />
<br />
In this manner, this can be explained so on and so on. Hence, it is evident the truth behind this world, this world system. <br />
<br />
In order to understand the world system, the process of interpretation (Nirukthi) becomes a must.<br />
<br />
Today this process of interpretation (Nirukthi) cannot be seen.Artha, Dharma, Nirukthi and Patibana. This is the way of Dhamma. Nobody did understand, realize this interpretation (Nirukthi).<br />
<br />
For example let’s take one word such as ‘Buddha- බුද්ධ’. Can anyone of you explain the meaning of this word? What is the meaning? Nobody will come out with the meaning of this word. All will mention that it means The Lord Buddha. That’s all.<br />
<br />
That’s not the correct way. First, you should analyze each letter. <br />
<br />
Bu (බු) ….this letter is possessed with the combination of letter Ba (බ) and the sound U(උ).<br />
<br />
Now, let’s analyze the meanings of this. What is it?<br />
<br />
What is meant by Ba(බ) and U(උ)? That is Bawa and it is coming in life or existence or coming in to being in this world. That is the meaning of Ba(බ) and U(උ).<br />
<br />
This word is consisted of The Thipariwatta, namely, Sanwatta, Pariwatta and Viwatta. And also the Duwathaa Dhamma (dialectical feature) can be seen in this.<br />
<br />
Let’s take letter ‘A’(Ayanna-අ),<span style="color: red;">10 </span> for example.<br />
<br />
What is the Duwathaa Dhamma found in ‘A’(Ayanna-අ)? They are Allãganeema (the grasping, attachment) and Athahareema (detachment). These two can be seen in this Dharmatha called Pa (ප) + A(අ). <br />
<br />
…attachment and detachment…<br />
<br />
If someone gets detached from this ….he will be free from Samsara<span style="color: red;">11</span> , he will be annihilated.If someone gets attached in to this he will not be free from Samsara, he will not be annihilated. <br />
One should know this Duwathaa Dhamma (the dialectical feature in teachings of Buddha). <br />
<br />
Then, one should know about Thipariwatta. They are Sanwatta, Pariwatta and Viwatta.<br />
<br />
Coming here (in to this world) is Sanwatta. What is used by us is Pariwatta. Viwatta is the detachment from this place and going into another. We should know these things…<br />
<br />
One should know Duwathaa Dhamma (the dialectical feature in teachings of Buddha). One should know Thipariwatta and also the Nibbana or extinction.<br />
<br />
To extinct, to feel free… one should detach all attachments.<br />
<br />
This Duwathaa Dhamma is explained in this Dharma, the teachings. This is the origin explained by Pa (ප) + A(අ).<br />
<br />
I preached only the basics of this origin. Why? Most of you would say that it is pointless to know about alphabets. <br />
<br />
I know well that you would say that.<br />
<br />
Most of you here are exposed to mere meditations.What is meant by meditation (Bawana)? We should know that as well.Meditation is not blindly following some instructions given by somebody.It is not the act of reciting the word ‘Arahan’ over and over again. This is nothing but a blind faith, a slavery mind.We should understand this situation. Just following something taught by someone as slaves is not The Path to Nibbana.Understanding this matter well, realizing this matter well and contemplating on the nature of things (Anichcha) is The Path to Nibbana.<br />
<br />
The one who does not know the becoming of the human being, he cannot contemplate on the Anichcha of it (nature of it). <br />
<br />
In Buddhism, there isn’t a thing called Pilikul Bawana (the meditation on the impurities of the body).<br />
People have just formed it as Pilikul Bawana. If someone sees the body as a form of impurities, then, he cannot live in this world.If any man sees the body as a form of impurities, then, he cannot live.It is not Pilikul (impurities or disgusting). It is Patikkoola. What is it? The becoming (acquiring a birth) in The Eight (which helps to become) with consciousness is called Patikkoola.Patikkoola is the process of living in a particular body which was originated due to results of the cause and effect.This has to be understood and meditation should be done accordingly…that is meant by Patikkoola.The ones who do not know this, they call it Pilikul. <br />
<br />
If we feel disgusting over the body, it is not possible for us to live in this world. Why? We are possessed with impurities.<br />
<br />
What do we have in our body which can be considered as purities? Saliva, mucus and rheum; all these are impurities.If we consider these as impurities, we cannot look after our old parents as well. This is the reason behind for the present situation of not looking after our parents.This is something introduced by the Brahmins in to our teachings. The Brahmin disgusts a lot.Brahmins believe in theism, they follow the faith in God.They are superstitious and are afraid of ‘Kili’ (impurities) as it prevents them going to the temple which are dedicated for their deities.What is meant by getting exposed to ‘Kili’? It is nothing but getting exposed in to impurities. One can take a bath and go to the temple. It is the solution for it. Isn’t it? There isn’t any such superstitious thing in Buddha’s teachings. There isn’t a thing called Pilikul (impurities) taught in Buddha’s teachings.<br />
<br />
Everybody living in this world have come in to this world same as others, not by a way which is different to the way of others.The one who is in that condition, he experiences ‘Kili’ in his ‘Keles’ (the unwholesome acts) which were developed by himself. They are found in his act. As and when his bad acts are taken out from his ‘Keles’, that person become a noble person.That’s why it is mentioned that a person of this nature will be revered even by the Gods.<br />
We have to realize this situation well, but we haven’t done it.<br />
<br />
We have mixed up everything; all what was taught by different people with various views, and follow those views.<br />
<br />
We cannot achieve Nibbana by following these blind views. To realise Nibbana, it is a must to know this Dhamma. Having realized this Dhamma well, the process of it should be seen properly.<br />
This (the attachment) can be annihilated only by that seeing.<br />
<br />
Is there a common man who will not be driven by Rãga (the lust)? Answer is No. Everyone experiences the Rãga (the lust).What do we have to do when we experience Rãga (the lust)?<br />
What is the root course of Rãga (the lust)? Rãga (the lust) is Ramanaya (the love making) and the clashing of it. <br />
<br />
This nature can be annihilated when we observe from the origin of the mankind to its flow in Samsara. If we realize that all of us are coming to this world in a sack of water, we can use this knowledge to explain that situation.<br />
<br />
This is the true Anichcha. This is Dhukka (the impermanence of life), this is Anaththa. <br />
<br />
Is there any use of this? Aren’t we going behind something which has no any value in it?<br />
We get the feeling of anger into us and fight with another. We use The Five (the senses), get attached in to them and create conflicts.<br />
<br />
Is there anything else in this than these attachments and conflicts? There isn’t anything useful and fruitful, indeed.Because of that, we should neither attach into this nor create conflicts with it.<br />
<br />
We practice Anichcha, Dukkha and Anaththa to eradicate Rãga (the lust or desire) and to eradicate conflicts we practice Maithriya (the compassion).Even this Maithriya (the compassion) should be practiced not in the absence of anyone. When we meet an enemy, we should greet him with a wish such as ‘May you be happy and well being’.In this manner you remain unchanged and try to calm down that man’s aggressive feelings. We withdraw the aggressive feelings coming up within ourselves. That is the real way to develop Maithriya (the compassion).<br />
<br />
When these two particular situations come in to being, you should use it. That is the ultimate way, correct way to follow.<br />
<br />
Otherwise, sitting here and reciting a verse such as ‘May all living beings refrain from all the sorrows, illnesses and be happy’ will not work out in any manner.If we do the recitation, it will just bring some relief to us and it will prevail only for that moment. That is not the correct thing.We have to practice Maithriya (the compassion) in the correct place, but not here.This practice will lead you for the realization.<br />
<br />
You, yourself should enter in to this Sothapanna Path<span style="color: red;">12</span> , he will never practice the bad things.He will not do any crime thereafter and follow the path of Dhamma in proper manner. Then only he can reach the goal. This is the way, this is the direction.<br />
<br />
This has to be further explained, but, for the time being, a long explanation of that nature is not needed, indeed.You should realise this …this has to be explained one by one.<br />
<br />
I am not going to continue with this sermon further…. additional explanations will be done in the future. If I hadn’t mentioned this, my sermon would not be fruitful.<br />
<br />
That’s why I explained the historical fact behind Dhamma for all this time. All of us should step on to the way of Dhamma. Some fundamentals facts with historical information were explained here as an aid to step on to that way of Dhamma. <br />

These two had studied under one master. The explanation given in Poojawaliya about this incident is as follows. "…. when the people in the kingdom heard the decision of the king to offer the position of chief counselor for Korakalambaka, the Brahmin, who followed studies with him, whilst making a falsehood <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>to degrade his brother, the counselor called Kapila and presenting Korakalambaka as an elder one than Kapila himself, the people in the kingdom gathered and said 'let us wait and see whether the colour of the a lie is white or else it is black or else it is red or else it is blue', then as a result of this falsehood <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>made against Kapila, the great sage, the king was taken to hell across the ground"<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(Poojawaliya, Page 111).</div>

Indian influence and also the roots of ancient Heladeepa<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6057233276810002454#_edn3" name="_ednref3" style="mso-endnote-id: edn3;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Iskoola Pota"; mso-bidi-language: SI-LK; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[iii]</span></span></span></span></a> can be seen in mentioned description. The most significant incident is that Korakalambaka had been introduced as a Branhamin, but his brother had been introduced as a Sage. In the inscriptions which date back to the ancient Hela period, the Brahamin and the Sage haven't been placed in the similar positions. The Brahmin had been introduced in his own Bahamian name. The Sage had been introduced with the respective symbols which would portrait<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>him as a noble person who is greater in knowledge and wisdom than the Brahmin.</div>

reports. The belief that Okkaya Dynasty had its roots in India was mainly influenced
by the forged information, statements and inscriptions which were created by The
British in their attempt of proving that birth of Buddha was occurred in India.
Sri Lankan Buddhists too were cheated by these wrong and misleading information
and they started to take them as true and genuine. As a consequence of this,
Sri Lankan Buddhists always do their level best to pass on the identity of Sakyan
Dynasty, which is a heritage of Heladeepa,<a href="file:///D:/Amal/Blogs/BLOG%20%20-%20Buddhalived%20insrilanka/1%20-%20Letters%20published%20in%20the%20site/18%20-%20The%20loss%20of%20Okkaya%20Sakayan%20Dynasty%20in%20Sri%20Lanka/The%20loss%20of%20Okkaya%20Sakayan%20Dynasty%20in%20Sri%20Lanka.docx#_edn4" name="_ednref4" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Iskoola Pota"; mso-bidi-language: SI-LK; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[4]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>
to India. The incident of revealing the true historical information of the land
where Buddha was born had directed these groups towards the hatred, but not for
the peace in mind. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
As it is necessary to know this peculiar
fact which is revealed in Poojawaliya, let me present it here</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="SI-LK" style="font-family: "Iskoola Pota","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Iskoola Pota"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">"අම්බට්ඨ

"… following the utterance made
by King Ambattha of the Okkaya Dynasty, from then, the name of the Okkaya
Dynasty was changed in to Ambattha Sakyan Dynasty and thereafter, it was well
known in that name" (Poojawaliya, Page 117). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
As it was mentioned in advance,
the term 'Ambattha' cannot be taken, in any manner, as something belongs to the
Indian heritage or a part of the Indian heritage. Anyone having the knowledge
of the Hela language would understand that it is an ancient Hela term in Lanka.
If someone says 'no' to this, whoever it is, it is absolutely something
mentioned against the land of Buddha and nothing else.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
What do we really have to do? We
should go ahead with a proper analysis on the usage of this term called Ambattha
in the sphere of the history and also on the facts which were, actually, the reasons
for that usage. Driving the energies for unnecessary arguments and negative
criticism would obviously be the method chosen by the ones with an intolerable heart.</div>

There is a statement about a cave
called Ambatthakola<a href="file:///D:/Amal/Blogs/BLOG%20%20-%20Buddhalived%20insrilanka/1%20-%20Letters%20published%20in%20the%20site/18%20-%20The%20loss%20of%20Okkaya%20Sakayan%20Dynasty%20in%20Sri%20Lanka/The%20loss%20of%20Okkaya%20Sakayan%20Dynasty%20in%20Sri%20Lanka.docx#_edn5" name="_ednref5" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Iskoola Pota"; mso-bidi-language: SI-LK; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[5]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a> in

The idea given by it, in a nutshell, is as follows. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
"Silver was fetched by the
cave called Ambatthakola and other things were fetched by the respective places"(
Wansatthappakasini, Page 409). This incident is reported in the time of the
reign of the Grate King Dutugamunu. It is then confirmed that this term
Ambattha had been used in that period from the ancient times. The only alteration
to be seen is the addition called 'kola' in to its end. Based on the statement which
was made on silver, this place can be identified as Ridiviharaya<a href="file:///D:/Amal/Blogs/BLOG%20%20-%20Buddhalived%20insrilanka/1%20-%20Letters%20published%20in%20the%20site/18%20-%20The%20loss%20of%20Okkaya%20Sakayan%20Dynasty%20in%20Sri%20Lanka/The%20loss%20of%20Okkaya%20Sakayan%20Dynasty%20in%20Sri%20Lanka.docx#_edn7" name="_ednref7" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Iskoola Pota"; mso-bidi-language: SI-LK; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[7]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>
found in the present day. It is evident that
this Ridiviharaya has its roots up to a very long period in the history which goes
up to the time of Kakusada Buddha<a href="file:///D:/Amal/Blogs/BLOG%20%20-%20Buddhalived%20insrilanka/1%20-%20Letters%20published%20in%20the%20site/18%20-%20The%20loss%20of%20Okkaya%20Sakayan%20Dynasty%20in%20Sri%20Lanka/The%20loss%20of%20Okkaya%20Sakayan%20Dynasty%20in%20Sri%20Lanka.docx#_edn8" name="_ednref8" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Iskoola Pota"; mso-bidi-language: SI-LK; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[8]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
According to Wansatthappakasini,
this place had been identified as a mining place for silver. Thus, it had been
mentioned as an area of the cave called Ambatthakola (Wansatthappakasini, Page
407). This book further says that King Maha Choolathissa had worked in a manufacturing
place of jaggery which was situated near the base of the mountain called Sonnagira<a href="file:///D:/Amal/Blogs/BLOG%20%20-%20Buddhalived%20insrilanka/1%20-%20Letters%20published%20in%20the%20site/18%20-%20The%20loss%20of%20Okkaya%20Sakayan%20Dynasty%20in%20Sri%20Lanka/The%20loss%20of%20Okkaya%20Sakayan%20Dynasty%20in%20Sri%20Lanka.docx#_edn9" name="_ednref9" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Iskoola Pota"; mso-bidi-language: SI-LK; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[9]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>
in the kingdom of Ambatthakola Malaya Rata (Wansatthappakasini, Page 501).
However, considering this particular incident itself, where a king had joined with
a work of this nature, throws more lights to the guess that this group had
connections with the Ambattha Sakyan Dynasty. Taking this identical incident,
Mr. C.W. Nicholas had mentioned that the king had worked in a manufacturing place
of sugar. (Historical Topography of Ancient and Medieval Ceylon, Page 126).</div>

reports (Mahavamsa,20 Chapter 39). The names of the villages which date back to
the ancient times had been used up to the ruling time of The British. But,
above mentioned incident itself is a solid example to explain the gradual loss
of the Sri Lankan Buddhist heritage along with the change of the ruling system
in power. What we have lost in this hidden incident is that there had been the
kingdom of the Okkaya Dynasty in this area and Ridiviharaya had been considered
as the center of this kingdom.</div>

In the Buddhist literature, above
mentioned Sage Kapila, has been explained in many occasions. He had been a
teaching Sage who was through in art and science. This Sage was a son of Lanka,
he had lived in Lanka and was a noble person who had advised the Maha Sammatha
Dynasty. Because of this, his name had been taken in to the inscriptions in
Lanka. One such inscription in which his name can be seen is as follows.</div>

In looking in to the names mentioned in these inscriptions, one particular
thing is very clear. And that is that these names of people and castes had been
used in very ancient times. Kapila, Bhagadewa, Anudi and Uththara are the
examples for that. It is not necessary to hold on to the doubt that Anudi, the
person who built the cave with Sage Kapila, was a prominent character in the
Okkkaya Dynasty. The Pramukas can be identified as a group who follow the
instruction of teachings Sage Kapila. Having said all these, it is evident that
these names and incidents are related to the ancient heritage of Sri
Lanka. </div>
