Primitive Asgiriya prelates must go back to Dhamma school : Woman becoming C.P. Governess is wrong but woman bringing tooth relic is right..!
(Lanka-e-News
-27.March.2016, 10.30PM) It is a matter for deep regret , that the
prelates of the Asgiriya chapter , Kandy have descended to such
lowliest level that they must be sent again to Dhamma classes and
taught lessons in Buddhism. In fact all Sri Lankans are rudely shocked
over their abysmal ignorance of the Dhamma.
Unbelievably, the Asgiriya chapter prelates have recently objected to
the appointment of Ms. Niluka Ekanayake, a mother of one child as the
governess of Central province. Their objection is based on the
contention that if she is appointed, a woman would have to be allowed to
participate in the affairs concerning the tooth relic in the Dalada
Maligawa.
A group including the deputy prelates of the Asgiriya chapter Vedharuwe
Upali, Warakagoda Dhammaratne,Urule watte Dhammarakitha (Mahiyangana
Rajamaha vihara in -charge ), Asgiriya Registrar Anamaduwe Dhammadisi,
Gallelle Sadhatissa, and some monks of the Asgiriya chapter have
conveyed their opposition to ministers Mahinda Amaraweera and S.B.
Dissanayake.
Even a child who attends Dhamma school knows how Maha prajapathi
Gauthami, Visakha and Patachara of the female gender were accorded due
place by Thiloguru Lord Buddha and were treated as equal with the male
gender. Hence , the stupid monks of the committee of Asgiriya prelates
raising this objection is tantamount to a betrayal of their ignorance of
the elementary knowledge of Buddhism which even a Dhamma school going
child will condemn as extreme idiocy and abysmal ignorance .It is
therefore little wonder the true Buddhists of the country are most
rudely shocked by this stupid response of the Buddhist prelates.
Every true Buddhist knows that princess Hemamala brought the tooth relic
to Sri Lanka by hiding it in her hair locks (Are the Asgiriya prelates
actually ignorant or feigning ignorance ?) Therefore , if Hemamala
belonging to the female gender bringing the tooth relic was not an issue
then , how come , the appointment of a woman to the post of governess
of Central province become an issue to the Asgiriya chapter prelates
,the guardians of the tooth relic and create a problem to the Dalada
Maligawa ?
Moreover , were these Asgiriya prelates dead when Ms. Surangani Ellawala
was appointed as the governess of this same province ? or were they
corpses despite being alive ? or did they not object at that time
because the appointment was made by Mahinda Rajapakse?
Incidentally ,the Asgiriya prelates are also opposed to opening the A 26
road (now closed) in the vicinity of the Dalada Maligawa. But strangely
, they saw nothing wrong when Namal Rajapakse team held road races to
have fun and frolic in the nights closing the roads around the
Maligawa. On top of that these prelates also had no qualms when they
whitewashed the deeds and words of drunkard criminal monk and scoundrel
Galagoda Gnanassara by claiming those actions of Gnanassara were aimed
at rescuing the country and religion.
Now, these Asgiriya monks are opposing the appointment of a governess
to the Central province. Though they have no grounds to justify their
action, even a small child who attends Buddha Dhamma school knows the
reason why their objection cannot be justified. Shouldn’t these
prelates therefore be ashamed of themselves?
Surely therefore these Asgiriya prelates cannot belong to the pristine
Buddhism we know of. In the circumstances , it is best in their own
interests and for the sake of Buddhism if they go back to Dhamma school
and learn Buddhism.
Interestingly ,the appointment of a governess to the central province
has not been an issue to the Malwatte Mahanayake , and naturally he has
won the awe and admiration of all the true Buddhists .
