Mixed responses from Buddhist prelates on Fonseka arrest
[TamilNet, Saturday, 13 February 2010, 05:12 GMT]
Buddhist Chief Prelates (Mahanayakas) of Asgiriya and Malwatte Chapters have come out with mixed responses on Fonseka's arrest. While the Mahanayaka of Malwatte Chapter has said that he was awaiting response from the Sri Lankan president, saying that Mr. Rajapaksa "could have been in dark" while the arrest took place, the Mahanayaka of Asgiriya Chapter has deplored the sudden arrest of Sarath Fonseka. In the meantime, Sri Lankan opposition sources said they were awaiting a joint written statement from the main prelates. The Buddhist prelates exercise a dominant influence on the Sri Lankan regime. The prelates of four chapters will be meeting on 18 February to discuss Fonseka's arrest.

News reports already flashed the activities of a Buddhist monk who is said to have purchased 100 acres of palmyra grove land from poor Muslims of Thalai Mannaar Pier, to develop a Sinhala-Buddhist settlement. Local people say the monk has license to use a rifle. The monk, believed to be a supporter of JVP, is looking for sponsors from the South.
A question often raised in the Sinhala-Buddhist circles is what is wrong in the colonies and in building Buddhist temples when there are a large number of Hindu temples in the South.

Meanwhile, a Scandinavian professor in a recent international seminar said that since Buddhism is an inclusive religion and since Tamils were once practising it, they should consider of becoming Buddhists and should be receptive to the efforts of some Buddhist monks in the island preaching the faith in Tamil.
He was not agreeable with the position that the basis of Tamil nationalism in the island, i.e., identity based on the use of Tamil language, is inclusive to religions and said that it is Tamil-Saivite.
How Tamils, whether Saivite of Christians, envisaging secularism in their nationalism as well as Muslims who come out with a separate identity but whose mother tongue is Tamil - all struggling against the genocidal hegemony of Sinhala-Buddhism, are going to look at his proposal is a question.
