Image
  RANAWANA  PURANA  RAJAMAHA  VIHARAYA One day we went on a pilgrimage with our family members. Ranawana purana rajamaha wiharaya is one of those visited places. That is a beautiful temple. This temple is located in the Pilimathalawa area in Kandy district. This temple is built in a beautiful mountain environment. Many Buddhist come to worship this temple. I think this temple has long history. IT is also believed that the history of Ranawana Vihara dates back to the reign of king IV Buwanekabahu during the Gampola period. And there is a special something about this shrine. That is the tallest walking Buddha statue in Sri Lanka sitting in this temple. This is also considered to be the tallest walking Buddha statue in the world. This Buddha is 80 feet high. The reason why the beauty of this place has grown further is that the special occasions mentioned in Buddhism have erected on the statue. Here are some photos of some of those occasions.  I really like visit th...

MY DREAM

Image
      💗💗💗💗💗 W e all have dreams. They are different for each one. I also had dream like that since I was little. That is being a teacher. Our teachers taught us very well. They always told us to be useful citizens for our country. They told us to study very well for that. I passed the O/L and A/L exam very well. Now I am an undergraduate in University of the visual and performing arts. I am very happy about it.   The journey is beautiful overcoming obstacles like a foaming river hitting rocks. There were many obstacles for me to reach to this place. I accept them very happily and I gradually came closer to my victory. I still have little time to reach my dream. I want to be a good music teacher. That is the only hope of my parents. They work hard to teach to me. I am working very hard to fulfill their expectations.    I hope to complete my graduation and become a good teacher. That is the one of  my  pleasure.💗💗💗💗💗
