SASKATOON SRI LANKAN COMMUNITY WEBLOG

By Saman Abeysekara

Rev. Upatissa Thero indicated that he found many people in Saskatoon Sri Lankan Community were cordial, generous and also blessed with past merits.

In the midst of Rev. Upatissa Thero’s precious blessings, I sincerely express my heart-felt thanks to those who volunteered for providing accommodation (by Priyashantha), and offering Dana (by Kosala, Ananda, Dharmasena and Lasantha), and to those who participated in these activities in many ways to use this rare noble opportunity for spiritual and eternal delight.

With metta,

Saman Abeysekara.

You will be kindly invited to take part in any of following activities. This schedule was based on the quick response from our community for their kind and generous involvement. Danaya (meal-offering) occasions were allocated to our friends on ‘first comes first serves basis’. If you are willing to take part in any of these meal-offering-occasions please contact the relevant organizer (Saman, Kosala, Ananda, Dharmasena or Lasantha). If you are willing to have more activities during Rev. Upathissa Thero’s short visit, or any activity in your home please contact Saman.
