The heavy rains in the area had uprooted the Bo tree at the Lahugala Kiriwehera Temple premises. It fell on the ancient Dagoba but the Buddha statue inside was miraculously saved. Pix by Upul Wijesinghe

How could anyone refer to this as a miracle? When the live Bo tree fell and the clay statue remains.

Come on guys, please do not get offended. But Statues are made by human hands. How come the same thing is been worshiped and call this situation a miracle just because the tree missed it?? Is it the ego inside hearts which does not allow to think further... A bit more logical thinking would help us understand reality.. isnt it??

Religious Places are always safeguarded, even during Tsunami, many Statues and worship places were intak.

An unexplained miracle which happened during the tsunami as well. High time for Buddhists to practice Buddhism rather than preaching.

An idol of a great philosopher, but not God.

if only whatever power that saved this statue was able to save at least one life that was lost when a tree crashed on to a van that would have been much much worth...
