ParakumB,
A sustainable peace can only be achieved through war.
VP has proved it time and time again with his deeds as well as his hero's day speeches.

I am still not convinced about your first statement. But the second is absolutely true.
LTTE and VP has to go before any measure of peace and prosperity can be expected in SL. Waging war is one way. I dont know if it is doable.

ML
Now I know why anti Buddhist commies of China are supporting MR just to get back at Tamils

Every thing these guys do seem to backfire on them, even after a couple of thousand years eh ? LOL

AnuD:
This is a lie. TamilNADU came into existence since 1960s.


LOL i thought you meant that the fact he was a Tamil was a lie :))

OK. call it 'Tamizhagam' alrighty?


It was a tamil Monk but from North part of the South India. when whole South India was mostly Buddhists, Tamils were JAINISTS.


He WAS a TAMIL so whats the big deal????

by the way there were tamil Buddhists TOO. how the hell can the second most important Buddhist(after buddha) be a Tamil and yet you claim Tamils were jains only!??

lol!


How many Buddhist temples are in TamilNADU while most of North India had so many Buddhist Sites ?


LOL did it ever occur to you that Tamil Buddhists might have been following 'true buddhism'..a religion that does NOT advocate the building of 'temples'????

Initially, Buddha did not have have any temples and lived under trees. At that time, it was mainly a missionary religion. Later when Buddhism became popular all over India that habit died down. Because, people built monasteries so that monks did not have to live under trees during the rainy season.


^^that goes against Buddha's teaching..but then again i guess 'renunciation' does not include shelter from the rain.

but its true:)) Probably the greatest Buddhist who ever lived after Buddha :)


This is true.

That monk is responsible I think propagating Buddhism in Indonesia and all of the Orient.

There was another Monk I think the monk's name is NAGA the monk who argued with GREEK King MILINDA. That monk's birth had been predicted even in the Buddha's time.

If we can Kill VELU, we don't need war.

But, who wants to kill VELU.

HE is an important asset as long as we know what we are doing.

this is again wrong, mixing everything and confused.

Monks can live on top of a Luxury apartment as long as they are not attached to that and don't feel any attachment to it.

but, when you live inside a luxury apartment you may always question the need.
