The Bodu Bala Sena (racist Sinhalese force) is headquartered, under the protection of a powerful monk, in the Sri Sambuddha Jayanthi building at Thumulla Junction. While they go around threatening violence and harm to Muslims and other minorities in a very un-Buddhist way, no one has coherently protested against them. The Group Buddhist Questioning Bodu Bala Sena is organizing a candlit vigil against their hate speech and corruption of the dhamma this Friday at 7 PM. They’ll gather at the Sri Sambuddha Jayanthi Mawatha building near Thumulla Junction. A lot of people complain or write petitions against this rising hate in the country, but it’s important to have physical events like this.
Dear Marie: I extend my heartfelt sympathy on the lose of Tuddie. I will always remember how Tuddie was so good t I myself, Verna and George and we loved.
No matter how many online petitions there are, if we want really change we have to show that this many flesh and blood humans do not agree with a Buddhism that attacks people and threatens violence against them. It’s important to show each other that this is not Buddhism and it’s not Sri Lanka. I hope to see you there. You can get more info on or via their. The basic info is that it’s at 7 PM and if you care about what’s happening you should show up.
Bodu Balu Sena is a Buddhist Extremist group sponsored by the government. It is the general belief of everyone irrespective of their race or religion. The Machan Gnanasara’s thuggery against police officers are posted on the YouTube. He is the one who is leading this BBS. Isn’t it disgrace for the entire Buddhist Clergies. The Muslims never get provoked by this BBS statements.
Their expectation is to provoke the Muslims and to create another chaos in this blessed land. But instead of provocation the Muslims pray the Almighty to bless everyone with peace. However I am personally thankful to the BBS for making the entire Muslims of Sri Lanka to know what is Halal. Now the Muslims are more concerned than ever before about their consumables.
The existence of the BBS on balance is essentially a good thing. It makes Muslims more aware of Halaal and the rest of us more aware of how to avoid halaal if we so wish. Thanks to the BBS I learnt that the ACJU required a certain number of muslims to be employed in a company before issuing certificates. That seemed unfair and haram to me. So now I avoid Halaal. From the failed vigil Friday, I learnt that many NGO and minority religion funded groups vie for power with the BBS in this little land.
For example it is well known that the Buddhists Against BBS group on facebook censors comments and bans people posting comments not to their ideology. That is not the buddhist way surely. Censorship is not a buddhist doctrine. So they are in many ways similar to the BBS as they too have an undisclosed agenda and are obviously directly or indirectly connected to and funded by muslim organisations. Dimi, meacham – well said.
Well said indeed. These guys like kp, dinuka and all the above extremists can in reality are extremists and anti- Sinhala Tamil in reality. Detskie risunki moya rodina kazahstan.
There own hearts know that. Wen you are living in a country where the culture is created by a FULL Majority Unique ethnic group, and you are the minirity and iu can jever change it- EVER. This happens.
Hatred happens. You can scheme behind AC rooms at NGOs and whatnot, you can use social media and blogs. But the reality is whatever the situation is there is a reason why Muslims were permitted by Sinhalese kings in the early days to stay in Sri Lnka.
Mind you according to AJU even they were Permitted to stay, marry Sinhala women and live in harmony and the reason they lived in harmony all these years is because the Peace loving nature of Sinhalese People. You cannot deny that.
Even when the LTTE issue happened, we know that Tamil people has issues but the LTTE are not innocent and were extreme terrorists. I’m being Tamil I have to speak up because when Tamils doesn’t speak about the atrocities, destruction done by LTTE in this soil they are more violent and graphic violent than any crimes These government forces have claimed to do. This is a another issue and we can talk about this. But what one cannot argue is why and how on earth if Sinhalese people are racists Did 80-90% of the Tamil population exists in COLOMBO and south Throughout when war was still goin on??? This is a question No NGOs can never seem to grasp. Those dollar Jackie’s who wants to create rifts between our three main communities forget this important factor. For 30 years when the war was goin on how on earth did Tamil people lived in harmony with Sinhala people without one major incident!.?
You can take political incidents and say that whole Sinhala race is like this or they follow BBS but that’s completely unfair and wrong. BBS has one monk who has done wrong and maybe they are using him because he can speak lot of other truths about Muslim extremism. You can deny what entire organization does based n one monk. And scheme on you folks he’s not the leader. He’s The main speaker and secretary. And the truth of the matter is whatever we in Colombo say or not majorityofthe Buddhists are facing racism and strategic manipulation by chritian conversionalists and Muslim extremism, in rural areas in country. Whatever these fools at NGOs do, vigil or not, how the hec you going to change the mentality of the Sinhala Buddhist common man?
