Save Lumbini Sri Lanka Buddhist Temple

Lumbini, Nepal, is considered a most important and historical place for all the Buddhist and non-Buddhist people of the world because the birth of Lord Buddha, who was the creator of Buddhist philosophy, which has the longest history among the world's major religions, was about 2550 years ago in Lumbini.

Sri Lanka is the leading country in the world that has played a continuous role in preserving and confirming the existence of the Buddhist philosophy, which is more than two thousand five hundred years old but is still very suitable even today.

So now, you are ready to know about the Buddhist temple belonging to Sri Lanka located in Lumbini.

"Lumbini Sri Lanka Buddhist Temple," built at the expense of the Sri Lankan government about ten years ago, is the only Buddhist temple in Lumbini as well as in the whole of Nepal that belongs to Sri Lanka, where a Sri Lankan monk resides.

The "Lumbini Sri Lanka Temple," which houses a budding of Lord Jayasree Mahabo in Anuradhapura, is very special for Sri Lankan pilgrims who come to visit Lumbini, as well as for pilgrims from all over the world.

It is so because the monks residing in the Sri Lankan Lumbini Temple are always ready to assist tourists from home and abroad by explaining the religious and historical facts about Lumbini.

I am Tissamaharamaye Pannasara, who is currently being in this temple.

I started to be in charge of this temple while the period of the COVID epidemic started, and since then, for many years, as a monk, I have been facing great difficulties and doing my service as much as my level best, among those difficulties, and also with protecting the honor of Sri Lanka and the Buddhist religion.

However, I am forced to come to you because of the dire situation that has arisen in this temple.

So, I invite you to read this article completely to understand the situation.

The main problem is that there is no donor congregation for this temple.

There are temples belonging to other countries in the Lumbini area, and these temples are maintained by the governments of those countries.

However, due to various technical reasons, this temple has not been adapted to the maintenance of the Sri Lankan government.

But, the Nepalese government considers the temple as a property of the Sri Lankan government.

However, our daily needs are still being met with difficulty.

But, the Buddha temple and Bodhi cover area belonging to the temple, which are decaying day by day, as well as the construction of shelters for pilgrims, which have been built at a great cost, make my heart tremble as a Buddhist monk.

However, since this temple is located in Lumbini, where the whole world's Buddhist and non-Buddhist devotees hang out, I believe that there is no need to explain specifically about the possibility of using this temple as a center to educate the people of the world about the pure Buddhism that exists in Sri Lanka.

But before all this, the crumbling temple should be repaired immediately.

A devout Buddhist architect has prepared the plan and estimate for the renovation of the building free of charge.

The plan and estimate are attached herewith.

Also, fortunately, I have been given the opportunity to open an account for this purpose on GoFundMe, the world's leading fundraising platform.

So I request you all to support our GoFundMe account as much as you can. Also, share my GoFundMe link with as many people as possible through any social media with your confirmation. Also, please ask them to help.

If you are a monk in charge of a temple, please share this GoFundMe link among the congregation and request them to contribute as much as possible to this great charity on my behalf.

Blessings to all
