Dedicate yourself to the safety of all this Vesak: Prez

25 May 2021

President Gotabaya Rajapaksa today stated that the people of this country should dedicated themselves for the protection and safety of others by staying home and conducting all traditions at home this Vesak festival. "As preached by the Samma Sambuddha, who spread only the compassion to all, it is our societal duty in the face of this epidemic to dedicate ourselves to the protection and wellbeing of the lives of others. It is also an excellent opportunity to display this unique quality cultivated in the heart of a Buddhist to the world," he said. Like last year, he stated that the people have lost the opportunity to engage in religious observances collectively this year as well on the recommendations of the health sector due to the global Covid-19 epidemic. "We must be determined to engage in Amisa Pooja and Prathipaththi Pooja with great veneration towards the Three Noble Events (Themangula) by staying at home," President Rajapaksa said. "We should keep in mind the advice given by the Thrainikaika Mahanayake Theros to hold the State Vesak Festival only symbolically in view of the current epidemic in the country. For the well-being and as well as for the safety of all citizens, we must strive to observe the rites bearing in mind the Three Noble Events. "Sududdasan Sunipunan - Yaththakaamanipaathinan Chitthan Rakketha Medhavi - Chitthan Gutthan Sukhavahan" This stanza in Dhammapada states, “Let the wise man guard his thoughts, for they are difficult to perceive, very artful, and they rush wherever they list: thoughts well-guarded bring happiness”. It is our social responsibility to act wisely by keeping our mind calm focusing on the above stanza at a time when everyone is facing a national disaster," he stated.
