Kadirgarmer became a Buddhist, he did so from pure awareness.
He made Wesak day world recognised in UN.
Buddhist monk gave a kidney to save his life !
Tamils killed this intellectual, and pride of motherland in the most henius way possible. But he did his job before he went. His cause shall live like a beacon of hope for Vanni Tamils !
So did Fernandopulle who was adored by sinhalese Buddhists.
tell me one Sinhalese that Tamils ever adored ? |

All the Sinhala racists twist the history and historic records to deny the Tamils connection and contribution to Sri Lanka. This is the proven fact.
For example, the Sinhala racists like to refer the Sinhala kings as the Sinhala- Pandiya dynasty instaed of Sinhala-Tamil dynasty. The Pandiya dynasty is the Tamil dynasty but the Sinhala racists don't like to say that.
We can see the extent of Sinhala hatred against the Tamils in every aspect of Sinhalese life from religion to history.

Ok ...so what ?
Tamils killed this intellectual, and pride of motherland in the most henius way possible.
Becoming budhist is a ticket to intellectuality or what ? (i have all respect for the peace loving budhist religion)
But borrowing from gandhi and modifying his statement i can say...
I love Budhism..But i dont the Sinhala Budhists on killing spree |

Ok Thivya please read this again.
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.
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.
The Buddhaghosuppatti adds to the Mahavamsa tale certain details, such as the identity of Buddhaghosa's parents and his village, as well as several dramatic episodes, such as the conversion of Buddhaghosa's father and Buddhaghosa's role in deciding a legal case.
It also explains the eventual loss of the Sinhalese originals that Buddhaghosa worked from in creating his Pali commentaries by claiming that Buddhaghosa collected and burnt the original manuscripts once his work was completed. |
