    Dear friends,

    A page has been launched to take Dhamma resources from Mahamevnawa Buddhist Monastery into the Facebook social network.

    Please note that this is not officially attached to Mahamevnawa. It is also not a recommendation of Facebook by any means. Our sole aim is addressing a vacuum (w.r.t. Dhamma) Facebook network seem to have.

    The page will feature content from Mahamevnawa Buddhist Monastery (esp. its news & events Blog http://www.mahamevnawa.info ); and what provided by its Fans ("Shrawaka's" in our terms).

    Hopefully it will create a place for Dhamma Discussions & sharing.
    Your comments, suggestions and constructive criticisms are welcome.

    You do not need a Facebook account to access most of its content.

    Theruwan saranai!

    Dear friends,

    Coincidently the Facebook application "Kalyanamithra" which was pending approval got its approval the same day.

    The application is designed to fetch content from various sites formally (and informally) affiliated with Mahamevnawa Buddhist Monastery, Sri Lanka.

    The application can be found in the Application Directory now.

    Hope it would be useful...

    Theruwan saranai!

    Great Work ! Im coming Back 2 facebook :D
    This is only an attempt by a couple of Shrawakas to fill the vacuum Facebook has with respect to Dhamma...

    However, no one should be encouraged to go to Facebook just because of this page :)
    As it has more distractions...

    Please start a thread asking for any question regarding Buddhism.
    It'll be easy for us to ask questions!

    Pinwath mithura,

    It's a good idea :yes:
    However (in my belief) something like that can be handled only by those proficient in Dhamma; not by beginners like us...

    Theruwan saranai!
