    Opposition Leader’s Vesak Day message

    April 29, 2018

    It is a great privilege to extend my good wishes to all Buddhist devotees, commemorating the three most significant events in the life of Lord Buddha.

     

    Lord Buddha made a vast social change eliminating various disparities and divisions that prevailed among the communities, treating equally all human beings ensuring that no one gets superior or inferior status by birth.

     

    We should get together to free this land, which was made sacred by Lord Buddha’s visits, from war, conflict and suffering and establish permanent peace providing equal rights and justice to every community living in our country.

     

    Let us illuminate our land through the light of reconciliation enriched with peace and solidarity on this great Vesak Day.

     

    I wish you all a happy Vesak celebration!

     

    R. Sampanthan
    Leader of the Opposition
    Parliament of Sri Lanka
