A program to explain the merits of pirith chanting, particularly the Thun Suthraya – Karaneeyametta, Maha Mangala, and Ratana Suttas\u2014was recently held at Kota Vehera in Dedigama. This initiative was conceived by Dr. P.A. Kiriwandeniya, the founder of the Sanasa Movement. The event drew participation from members of 25 Sanasa societies in Kegalle and Warakapola, along with residents from the surrounding areas. Initiated in collaboration with the Sanasa Jaya TV channel, the programme served as a model for the nation. From 24 to 30 August, residents of Warakapola listened to pirith chanting from their homes, and then gathered on 31 August at Kota Vehera. Kota Vehera, the birthplace of King Parakramabahu, was chosen as the venue to honour a similar initiative started by him. The event emphasised the Sanasa Movement’s dedication to continuing the mission of improving people’s lives through a production-based economy\u2014a vision originally put forth by King Parakramabahu.<\/p>\n

Guided by Dr. Kiriwandeniya’s concept of “A Portion of Transactions – A Portion of Virtues” (Adak Ganu Denu – Adak Guna Dharma), the programme sought to enrich the lives of participants with the values embodied in the Karaniyametta Sutta, fostering a society of virtuous and courageous citizens. A three-hour sermon was delivered by Ven. Ududumbara Kassapa Thera on 31 August. The programme was characterised by the practice of Amisa Pooja (offering of material things), and brought spiritual enlightenment to the community. Kassapa Thera explained the meanings of the pirith, providing practical guidance on how these teachings could be applied to achieve success in everyday life. Dr. Kiriwandeniya plans to expand this programme throughout Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n
