I am a man who believes in the Buddhist philosophy and the behaviour of monks ( I would like to call the men in yellow cloths) . The Buddha preached "Karuna, Metta Mudita and Upekkha. What is happening in Mt. Lavinia is just the opposite. It is a sad day for people who accept the "Buddhist Philosophy". What the Buddha preached was a philosophy and not a religion.

Buddhism at it's best? these people have lost everything, they are struggling to keep their children safe, what do these priests really know about their religion, adding to their folly they incite others to hatred as well

We must respect and regard UNHRC otherwise, we will be in great trouble, JO is only blocking every good acts, that is why they are rejected globally.

They have already lost their families, friends, belongings and moved here as refugees to save their life which is the only balance. In this situation, some of our people hurting them some more. These narrow minded people should go to a proper Pansala and study the Buddhism. People who are hurting the innocents cannot be Buddhists.

I am a Buddhist, but I am strongly against our religious leaders (monks) - they should only preach dharma, not to involve in other activities.

One has to be a refugee to know what it is to be a refugee. One does not have to be a Muslim, Christian, Buddhist or aethist. Just be a refugee!!As a Christian, the Scripture says, "Do unto others what you want others do to you".Buddhism teaches tolerance. I dont know what the Hindus and Muslims say!!"Man's inhumanity to man".

very obvious that Government and other intelligence units of foreign countries are instigating. I lived with Sinhalese and they were never like this and very accommodative than any other community in Sri Lanka. Sri Lankan.One member of the family who came to protest will be in the Middle East to earn money. My question is why not these are not arrested

This is a human issue and it appears the Buddhist monks are not following Lord Buddha's teachings. If there is a danger for the country at large by their presence there are ways to discuss that.

This is what Buddhism teaches. They are human beings and also there are small kids. This is not the way to make protest.
