When talking about sinhalese culture it is getting deteriorated day by day. this is not because of urbanization it's because the people's minds have become sick and pathetic. and they have lost their culture which was there for thousands of yearsAs the main reason for the change as i can see, its the foreign attacks. for example the culture of today needs every *buddhist* child to goto "dhaham pasal" @ sunday. "dhaham pasal" was not a part of the culture of us in the so called big culture that we are always being proved of, it came from Christianity from some thing called "sunday school"  its not even close to what the people who lived here before the attacks of the foreigners. And as it is seen by all as a good thing i dont see it that way, almost all of those who are going to dhaham pasal try to memories every bit of everything. I dont think thats a proper way of understanding buddhism! It has become  just another school to children.  A few parts of the initial culture is preserved and still being understood and put into action by the people. Other things are most post victorian its sick to understand it all but thats the real situation. as in other cases the culture is being changed because people are busy and because of urbanization it cant be stopped because the people now are greedy it starts from villages not from the cities.I dont know of a solution, even if we came up with a solution people might call those who are trying to show them the right as fools or people who dont have anything better to do ..</blockquote>
