Thanks to North Indians they became civilized.
meetetnow2006,
The above statement shows the extent of your knowledge in Tamil history. You are just another Sinhala racist with no knowledge whatsoever about the great history of Tamils, even the Emperor Asoka couldn't conquer the land of Tamils.
The North Indians never ruled the Tamils but the Tamil Chola king Rajendra sent his forces to all the way to Gangetic plains to expand the imperial power of Tamils.
No point in talking to you. Go to sleep. :)))

Mahavansaya,
Thivya is right. Tamils gave the world everything. Even the first Homo Sapiens was a Tamil. She has proof. |

What I read between the lines is that GOSL is hatching a plan to loot the foreign donors of the funds they are using in the LTTE controlled area's and more.
Now we all know what happened to the the funds in the so called LTTE area. Housing projects, tsunami relief...all the money has gone missing.
Looting...may not be the right word for this... |

Even the new Sinhala Buddhist converts have learned Buddhism from the visiting Buddhist monks from Kanchipuram in Tamil Nadu. The famous Tamil Buddhist monk Buddhahosa stayed in Anuradhapuram to enlighten the new converts Sinhala barbarians at that time. :)
This is a big lie.
The Mahavamsa records that Buddhaghosa was born into a Brahmin family in the kingdom of Magadhi. He is said to have been born near Bodh Gaya, and to have been a master of the Vedas, traveling through India engaging in philosophical debates.
Only upon encountering a Buddhist monk named Revata was Buddhaghosa bested in debate, first being defeated in a dispute over the meaning of a Vedic doctrine, and then being confounded by the presentation of a teaching from the Abhidharma.
Impressed, Buddhaghosa became a Buddhist monk and undertook the study of the Tripitaka and its commentaries. On finding a text for which the commentary had been lost in India, Buddhaghosa determined to travel to Sri Lanka to study a Sinhalese commentary that was believed to have been preserved. |

Explain why Indians consider it is an insult to call them Tamils ? This really happened to me.
Indians want Tamils to do cleaning type of jobs and largly to remain hyptonised to fakes MG Ramachandran, Prabakaran and Karunanidi.
Indians will never forgive tamils for murdering rajiv gandhi.

| Most NGO people must be unhappy about the prospect of the war coming to an end. This terrorism has been a cash-cow for many people for 30 yrs, especially the LTTE money collectors in western countries. |

In Sri Lanka, Buddhaghosa began to study what was apparently a very large volume of commentarial texts that had been assembled and preserved by the monks of the Mahavihara.
Buddhaghosa sought permission to synthesize the assembled Sinhalese-language commentaries into a comprehensive single commentary composed in the Pali language.
The elder monks sought to first test Buddhaghosa's knowledge, by assigning him the task of elaborating the doctrine regarding two verses of the sutras Buddhaghosa replied by composing the Visuddhimagga His abilities were further tested when deities intervened and hid the text of his book, twice forcing him to recreate it from scratch.
When the three texts were found to completely summarize all of the Tripitaka and match in every respect, the monks acceded to his request and provided Buddhaghosa with the full body of their commentaries. |

There are (11) Ingos who pulled out of Wanni to take care of them........
If they were able to do it in the Wanni, hope care for them better in vavuniya. |

Buddhaghosha is a TAMIL MONK, who made a remarkable contribution to Buddhism in Sri Lanka. He stayed and studied Buddhist precepts at Mahavihara in Anuradhapura. The Visuddhimagga was the first work of Buddhaghosha which was written while he was in Ceylon.
According to Mahavamsa, it is a summary of the three Pitakas together with the commentary. When Buddhaghosha had been staying at Granthakara Pirivena at Anuradhapura, he completed his task of rendering Sinhalese commentaries of Tripitakas into Pali.
After a considerable period of religious service in Sri Lanka, he returned to Tamil Nadu. After Buddhaghosha, the important Theravada monk from the Tamil country was Dhammapala. Dhammapala lived in the Mahavihara at Anuradhapura.
It is interesting and appropriate to investigate the interactions of Buddhist monastic centres between Sri Lanka and Tamil Nadu. The remains of a Buddhist monastery excavated at Kaveripattinum which could be assigned to the fourth century, are believed to be the earliest archaeological relics of Buddhism in Tamil Nadu.
During the Pallava period, Tamil Nadu boasted of outstanding Buddhist monks who had made remarkable contributions to Buddhism thought and learning. A Buddhist writer Buddhadatta or Thera Buddhaatta as he is called lived during the time of Accyutarikkanta, Kalabra ruler of the Cola-nadu.
Under the patronage of this ruler, Buddhadatta wrote many books. In his book Vinayaviniccaya, he says that due to the patronage of this king he was able to compose this work.
In the Abhidhammaratara he gives a glowing account at Kaveripattinum, Uragapuram, Bhutamangalam and Kanchipuram and the Mahavihara at Ceylon (Sri Lanka). While he was at Sri Lanka, he composed many Buddhist works such as Uttara-viniccaya Ruparupa Vibhaga Jinalankara etc. Buddhaghosha, contemporary of Buddhadatta composed many Buddhist commentaries.

The Sinhala racists will twist even religion to deny the Tamil connection to sri lanka because the Sinhala hatred against Tamils is so deep rooted.
