From a very young age,
the innocent Sinhala Buddhist children who attend the “DAHAM PAASEA” in the
Buddhist temples are brainwashed by engraving the Sinhala Buddhist racism into
their sub-conscious minds.
Sinhala Buddhist Terrorism training of Small Kids |
They are taught to
believe that the non-Sinhala Buddhists (Tamils) are invaders who do not belong
to Sri Lanka. All the Tamils should be chased away to Tamil Nadu just the way
their ancient Kings Dutu gemunu did, without proper understanding that Duttu
Gemunu was a Tamil Buddhist, not a Sinhalese!
The country (Sri Lanka),
Sinhala race and Buddhism should be protected from the Tamils.
Now, from recently, they
have also included the Christians in those needing to be thrown out.
Due to the above
conditioning, the Sinhala-Buddhist majority believes that the entire Sri Lanka
belongs to them and the minorities are aliens.
One good example is the
former Army Chief Lt.-Gen. Sarath Fonseka who once said that he strongly
believes that Sri Lanka belongs to the Sinhalese, the minorities can live in
the country with them (Sinhalese) but they must not try to demand undue things.
This is the common
understanding/belief not only among the Sinhalese masses (both educated and
uneducated) and the Buddhist clergy but also among the Sinhalese political
leaders right from the top as we see from the Sinhala Only Act in 1956, the
Sinhala-Only (sri) vehicle license-plates policy in 1958 (have we learned
anything from its aftermath that has ruined the country for many decades?) and
The recent proposal to
scrap the Tamil version of the national anthem and have a Sinhala-Only National
Anthem, but unlike the former army chief, these politicians are extra careful
when uttering in public due to diplomacy.
COMING OUT OF IGNORANCE:
In Sri Lanka, the
history is already twisted many centuries ago and sealed.
What we have is NOT
HISTORY but HIS - STORY (VEN MAHANAMA’S STORY).
Today the myth has
become the truth and if anybody tries to undo the twist (after enormous amount
of new discoveries) he/she will be considered an unpatriotic traitor or even a
‘terrorist supporter’.
Some of the new Archaeological Discoveries (Artefacts) which are not in favour of the Mahavamsa
mythology are either hidden (not allowed to reveal the facts) or they are made
to disappear by none other than the governing authorities in order to keep the
majority community happy.
For example, the
archaeologist Prof. Senerath Paranawithana being a non-Buddhist had to come up
with magical evidence from his research to prove the accuracy of the stories in
the Mahavamsa (misinterpret as true history).
Once when he deviated
(by saying the truth that Buddha never visited the island) he was forced to
deny.
During that turbulent
period (when Buddhism was under threat), the Mahavamsa author Ven. Mahanama and
the Mahavihara monks had a genuine reason for the above mythology but
unfortunately today due to ignorance and lack of rational thinking, the Sinhala
Buddhists still believe the Mahavamsa as the gospel truth.
I HONESTLY DON’T KNOW
WHETHER TO LAUGH AT IT OR CRY AT THEM...!!!!
