What's Happening Now at the Centre?

New Chaithya (Pagoda) Project

 

 

Dear Devotees, and Friends of the Temple, 

We are blessed to share the wonderful news of our new project at the Temple, made possible by the esteemed blessings of the Venerable Monks, the Trustees, and the unwavering support from the Dayaka Sabha, the devoted Temple community, and our dear friends.

Together, we are embarking on a momentous endeavor – the addition of a majestic Pagoda (Chaithya) and a sublime Buddha Statue to our beloved Temple.

Ceremony to lay the Foundation Stones for the Chaithya (Pagoda) was held on Sunday the 25th of June 2023 headed by the esteemed Chief Abbot of the Temple, Ven. Kulugammana Dhammawasa Thero, alongside the participation of Ven. Dr. Mawarale Bhaddiya Thero, the Venerable Monks, and our cherished friends and devotees.

It is with great joy that we invite you to join us in celebrating the new milestone of the history of our Temple, and contribute to the project.
