| What good is building statues and chanting verses if in practice you kill, steal, rob and commit every vice? |

I dont know about the others, but this thread is not worth contributing.
The validity of the claim gets diluted by the man who commented it. Hopefully a more topical thread will emerge!

By the third century B.C., Buddhism had spread widely in Asia, and divergent interpretations of the Buddha's teachings had led to the establishment of several sects. The teachings that reached Ceylon (present-day Sri Lanka) were given in a final written form in Pali (an Indo-Aryan language closely related to Sanskrit) to religious centers there in the first century A.D. and provided the Tipitaka (the scriptures or 'three baskets' in Sanskrit, Tripitaka) of Theravada Buddhism. This form of Buddhism reached what is now Thailand around the sixth century A.D. Theravada Buddhism was made the state religion only with the establishment of the Thai kingdom of Sukhothai in the thirteenth century A.D.
Buddhism started to spread in Burma from 1057A.D.
Sri Lanka has the longest continuous history of Buddhism of any Buddhist nation, with the Sangha having existed in a largely unbroken lineage since its introduction in the 2nd century. |

SK63,
this is very true but it is not just the PM but the State as a whole would dilute the claim and worse also much of the sangha who are also corrupt and crooked and trod all over the BUddha Dhamma daily.
this is very serious because Buddhism is one of the great attractions of Sri Lanka, it could indeed be our gift to the world, but instead what we are offering is just more hypocrisy, just more Religion, just more pollution.
there needs to be a different kind of revolt in the temple, one that seeks to restore the purity and sanctity of the sacred order, expells the crooks, the politicians from its midst and return to the task of illuminating the path of enlightement for the people to travel
how can we talk about Buddhism when we are bombing and terrorizing people? |

This contradicts with what Wayamba said on previous page. |
