Hope, posting this thread will spread da word, to let people know to contribute to a great task. All da following content was in dat mail.& Don't forget to see the images @ da end. Dear All,        Please spread the word     among all the religious people (may it be a Buddhist or non Buddhist ) whom     you may think be able to give some kind of a donation to support the noble     service done by the head priest of this temple.        May the blessings of the     noble triple gem with you! Thanks UMay you be well and happy,      Ven. Bodhicitta.                          Dear friends,       Two weeks I visited a 150 year old temple in a village named Wallawe in       Polgahawela. The chief incumbant of this temple is Ven. Amilasiri who is       doing a noble, unique service to the sasana in silence. He is       accomadating 12 old debilitated destitute priests who have been abandoned       as there is no one to care for them in their old age.Ven Amilasiri gets       very little help from the village due to poverty, and he depends on the       occasional donations he gets.       The very ill priests are housed in a separate building. The beds in this       building       are in a very dilapidated condition.             The matresses are all very dirty and some dont even have bed sheets. Some       priests cannot walk to the toilets and urinate on the bed it self .       In addition there are 23 samanera monks. All of whom are children who       have been abandoned by their parents for various reasons. When they reach       the correct age they are sent to pirivenas for their education'       Ven. Amilasiri has been attending to washing and cleaning the sick       priests and their soiled clothes personally. He never allowed the young       samaneras to get involved lest they get disgusted of the monastic life.       He wakes up at 3am to cooks all by them the dane for the rest of the       priests       After visiting and seeing the challenging work done by Ven. Amilasiri we       as buddhists realised that we need to support him to carry on with his       noble work.       On inquiring we learnt that he needs to cook 8 kgs of rice per day . On       sundays he goes on pindapathe with 3 other samanera monks and collects       the rations for the.       So let us get together to help Ven. Amilasiri to do this noble work. If       you wish to visit his temple it is situated in a village called Wallawe       which is 4 1/2 km from Polgahawela junction on kurunegala road. There are       2 approaches one is a road on the right side after the 18th km post soon       after you pass the petrol filling station and a bridge. The other is       after the 19th km post, the first turn to the right If you take the first       turn always keep to the right, and if you take the 2nd turn always keep       to the left. You drive about 2 1/2 km down to come to the name board Sri       Bodhirukkarama temple on the right. Turn here and drive down the path       which ends in the temple.       Some useful items to take if you visit would be, Rice Dhal milk powder       tea sugar bedsheets, mackintoshes books for the samaner monks. etc.       If you need further information please contact me on 0718436954,       Residence 0112864519, surgery 0112873160 or Ven.
