Meaning - As a flower that is lovely and beautiful but scent -laden, even so fruitful is the well spoken word of one who practices it
GUIDANCE AND ADVICE ON LIVING A PEACEFUL AND HAPPY LIFE...
At Hamilton Buddhist Vihara, we study Shakyamuni Buddha's teachings and put them into practice through contemplation, meditation and lives that cause no harm to either ourselves or any other living being.
The centre runs a monthly programme that fosters these practices. It includes:
Meditation, Dhamma Sermons and discussions in Sinhala and English.
Basic Chi Qong and meditation.
Sunday school for Buddhism and Sinhala language classes.
The observation of eight precepts (Ata sil) on a weekend closest to the full moon.
Bodhi Puja and several other religious activities.
Social Services.
Dear Devotees and Friends,Here is the WCMC May programme for your information.With mettaWCMC

සසර ගමන අවසන් කළ,
දුරු කළ ශෝක ඇති,
හැම ආකාරයෙන් කෙලෙසුන් ගෙන් මිදුනා වූ,
හැම සසර වෙළුම් දුරු කළ උතුමාට සිතේ දැවිල්ලක් නැත.

For him who has completed the journey for him who is sorrowless,
for him who from everything is wholly free,
for him who has destroyed all ties, the fever (of passion) exists not.
