The majority of the customers who shop at Homebase are obviously non-Buddhists.<img src="http://www.sinhala.net/News/20041218/Pics/AntiBuddhist/BuddhaCandle.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Many buddhists who came to know about this believe that under the pretext of lighting a candle, what they are knowingly or unknowingly doing is burning a Buddha statue and that's the whole motive of the manufacture who is behind this.After several complains to the Sri Lanka High Commission in London, the deputy High Commissioner, Mr Ganegamaarachchi  said he would take action immediately.</blockquote>
