Wow. Sounds like an epic trip. Where are you originally from? We have plenty of ground to cover as well. I’ve been to Anuradhapura a bunch because my wife is from there and Kandy and sigiriya. Went to Ella but left quick for some personal reasons so we’ll go back. And more.
Thank you for sharing your fabulous presentation. As a born and raised buddhist, i did learn a lot from your video. Glad to see you and your wife get to enjoy this beauty. Greetings from Texas!!
Thank youuu!!! There was so much traffic when we came on Saturday that we just left to see the rest of the city. I'm seeing and enjoying the Gangarama Vesak zone through your video! Hope you got to do a bit of dansal hopping too :D It was great to see so many people around enjoying dansal offerings this year.
Thanks for telicast to world Sri Lanka. And actually as per load Buddha flower offering meaning is when we offer flower it's very beautiful and minute to minutes it's going to dry and let down beautiful and all as per that our life also going like that every minute.
Wow just wow!This is the best and the most meaningful vlog covered by a foriegner i have ever seen.Keep it up and do many these types of videos and spread the word of Loard Buddha🙏(I subscribed you!)
Thank you! Will do! My wife is a Buddhist Sri Lankan and we will be traveling a bunch around the country so we will share a lot more. Thanks so much for subscribing.
Amazing description brother.🙏🏼 The last part was where my favourite phrase included and that's why I love Vesak this much. Happy Vesak to all of you🙏🏼🇱🇰 It's windy season in Sri Lanka and than other years it's much windy this year. So be a little bit vigilant. 😇
Thank you visiting our country & understanding the culture so beautifully! We loved seeing the turnip for the Dansala from all walks of life including warm guests like you 🫶🏼 Thank you for visiting us! Christeen from team Absolute
All the vesak Lanterns,,Pandals,, street decors are traditionally,, strictly Hand made....that activity symbolises the dedication and devotion to pay homage to Lord Buddha... so nothing is machine done.... it's supposed to be a meditation that you have to be prepared and offer your faith and unblemished following towards Lord Buddha ' s teaching.... it's a tradition to get involved for this most Holy and Wonderful day.... The Universal Buddhist Flag was initially designed by ancient Buddhist priests....it symbolises the Lord Buddha ' s powerful aura of 5 qualities Lord Buddha had.... it's a wonderful subject to refer Buddhist texts and learn..... Thanks a million for taking the trouble to do this wonderful video... You are Blessed by the """"TRIPLE GEM """"" ( BUDDHA, DHAMMA , SANGAHA....)
Nothing you said is accurate. Buddhism isnt a worship devotion based religion with a deity. The Lanterns and Pandals are actually a cultural celebration of the birth, englightnment and parinirvana (passing) of the buddha. It in no way is a "dedication, devotion or unblemished faith". The buddhist flag is also not "designed by ancient Buddhist priests". It was designed in Sri Lanka back in 1885 by Anagarika Dharmapala and co. Please dont spread misinformation if you aren't sure of history.
Woow... you explained it very nicely and it's a pleasure to watch your this video as a sri lankan citizen... 💗🌼🇱🇰 You should visit to Galle City because i have never seen such a beautiful city in sri lanka...Galle Dutch Fortess, Rumassalla Mountain Range, Sinharaja Rain Forest, Unawatuna Beach & Hikkaduwa beach etc. add more value to the beauty of that city. If you have a chance, don't foregt to visit there for get a unforgettable experience 🌼 because i have no words to explain the beauty of that city 😊 Nuwaraeliya is such a wonderful city too & it looks like the heaven Hope, you'll enjoy your journey in sri lanka 🤗
Heyyy. Thanks so much. What a beautiful comment. We are actually putting together a trip to spend Poson in Anuradhapura, then head to Dambulla, Kandy, Ambulawawa, Nuwara Elia, Ella, Imaduwa, then Galle and back to Colombo. With stops in between.
Lovely video. Did you know that the Buddhist flag was designed by a team including and American , Colonel Henry Steele Olcott who having faught in the American civil war came to ceylon after reading the controversy about the debates taking place in ceylon in the 19th century.At first the debates were oral but they were stopped because they ended up unruly. The Ceylonese were expert debaters and were following the rules set in the 12th century books on debating.
Hi.... This is an amazing video. What nice work man! You are expressing Vesk to all of the world....💜 I'm Sri Lankan (Christian), but we are celebrating all the religious events in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰. These days I'm out of the country, so I missed the Vesk festival at this time.😢 Please wait for the upcoming Poson festival, you can get an unforgettable experience.
Wish you a happy Vesak, Thank you for the video, and may you live a long peaceful life💫 But I gotta say money is not an offering, it's actually a ban. Idk why ppl are offering money these days it seems like a lot of ppl do, but we are taught Buddhism in schools, and acc to that offering or receiving money by monks or temples is most definitely a ban. I'd really appreciate it if you could spread this fact.
@@ThatBadassLife Oh about donations it's a bit complicated. Even Though theoretically offering and accepting money in temples is wrong, nowadays temples also need to pay the electricity and water bills unlike in the past when there was no such requirements. so ppl help out. In places like Ruwanweli seya in Anuradhapura you'll always see an agent sort of person is there to handle it. So that's definitely approvable. But the way ppl offering money just the way pahan(candles), flowers and incense is wrong. For example if a person throws money in to a shrine or those glass like boxes where buddha statues stay respectfully. Sorry for not clarifying.
