Opposition leader Mr. Ranil Wickramasinghe has decided to resign from all the posts he was bearing in the Gangarama temple “Dhayaka Sabha”, due to the mischievous behaviour of the Galaboda Gnanessara thero (or "Podi Hamuduruwo"). Gnanessara thero was famous for supporting UNP during the Premadasa era as well as during 2001-2004
UNP governing period.
UNP governing period.
Gnanessara thero has recently published a statement giving Mr. Wickramasinghe advice that he should stop his undisciplined actions which does not suit a national leader. According to the thero, Ranil has been acting with very poor qualities as the opposition leader. But as you all can remember, Ranil was welcomed by Gnanessara thero with a crown when he was elected the prime-minister in 2001. Thero was addressing him "Ranil hamu".
Mr. Wickramasinghe also said that before his foreign visit last week, he went to Gangarama temple & got blessings from Gnanessara Thero. Mr. Wickramasinghe was amazed that he was not given such advice at that moment. Mr. Wickramasinghe stated that the thero's behaviour is not acceptable as a Buddhist monk. "The moon lights up
the whole earth without choosing where to light up, accordingly monks should also show the correct path to all the people without considering any good or bad habits of them". Mr. Wickramasinghe quoted some phrases from Buddhist sermon books & the "Thripitakaya" to answer the thero's statement. So from here on, he will no longer
be the main contributor of the Gangarama temple's "Dayaka Sabha".
Now we can come to conclusion that Gnanessara thero was not enemies with the SLFP or UPFA. Thero only hated the "Bandaranaikes". And it’s a shame that monks do not stop activities in connection with dirty politics in a country like Sri Lanka.

I’m not sure in this case who really right or wrong. Looks like Ranil made excellent point and at the same time the monk made a good point too.
Well, as you can see the monk has a point but its clearly bullshit right? Can you tell me an incident where Ranil behaved badly or indecently? And don't remember that Ranil is the best disciplined political leaders that we have seen in recent times. Ranil may not be the best to market elections. But he was a genuine gentleman other than any other dirty politician. He may have faults. But not in this matter. Better to avoid monks who tackle with politics by any means. Don't you agree?
Agree. That is exactly my point.
Aren’t we Sri Lankans like bullshit better? Is there space for a Gentleman's Leadership in Sri Lanka?
Well. About monks.. I’m looking for real Buddhist monks with Buddhist mindset for some time, but they are very hard to find in Sri Lanka. :-)
Well said brother !!! Well said !!!
