We have decided to hold this National Conference at our university to discuss the matters pertaining to the improvement of new trends of Buddhist activities for the development of Theravada Buddhism. There is a growing academic interest in the traditionally Non-Buddhist world to engage seriously in learning Buddhist Studies and research works. I expect Sri Lankan scholars to take the leadership in this field for the development of Theravada Buddhism. Bhiksu University of Sri Lanka, still a blooming institute, is the only university exclusively reserved for Buddhist Monks. The University celebrates its 15th anniversary gloriously with this National Conference in the historical ancient city of Anuradhapura and I hope that this will be a historical landmark for the University as well as for my personal life as I could participate two International Buddhist Conferences and one National Buddhist Conference during my tenure as the Vice Chancellor of this University. I take this opportunity to welcome cordially all the scholars from various Universities across the Country. As the Vice Chancellor of Bhiksu University of Sri Lanka, I wish every one of you, a very pleasant Academic & Cultural experience at our University. Ven. Prof. Thumbulle Seelakkhandha Nayaka Thero Vice Chancellor (Mahopadhyaya). 4 Message from the Dean: Faculty of Buddhist Studies Ever since it was established in 1969, the Buddhasravaka Dharmapitha could produce some illustrious Buddhist scholars to the society. This great institute was in a very unique and blessed land as it was located exactly in the very same premises of Nandana Park where the first ever monastic school of higher learning in Sri Lanka was situated. Dharmapitha was predominantly focusing on the traditional Buddhist education. In 1998, this very same institute was converted into a full-fledged Buddhist university with the authentic traditional system coalesced with the modern educational fields as well. It was aimed at becoming a leading university for Buddhist monks fulfilling the requirements of theoretical and practical training on Buddhism and its value system. Bhiksu University of Sri Lanka, formerly called as Buddhasravaka Bhiksu University, with relatively a shorter history, deserves a very special place in the Sri Lankan education map today as it is exclusively reserved for Buddhist monks in Sri Lanka. As of now, this university has expanded its wings to more widespread areas with the whole BUSL system has turned into semester system under two new faculties. BUSL‟s academic credentials have reached new heights. At this occasion, I have no hesitation to greet the Organising Committee and the BUSL-NC-2013 programme for a successful completion and a glorious outcome. Ven. Dr. Kanattegoda Saddharatana Dean: Faculty of Buddhist Studies 5 Message from the Dean: Faculty of Languages & Cultural Studies As the Dean of the Faculty of Languages and Cultural Studies, it is a great pleasure to convey a message to the abstract book of the BUSL National Conference -2013 and I take this opportunity to warmly welcome all of you to the Conference. Bhiksu University of Sri Lanka, located in a cultural hub, is a unique venue for Buddhist monks in Sri Lanka. Under the able guidance and dedication of the Vice Chancellor (Vice Chancellor) Most Venerable Professor Thumbulle Seelakkhandha Nayaka Thero, this university, which was comparatively a smaller institution, has now become a giant national level university endowed with excellent infrastructure facilities and dedicated and non-academic staff members. We, the Bhiksu University of Sri Lanka decided to hold this BUSL–NC–2013 on New Buddhist Trends & Empowering Theravada Buddhism in Sri Lanka with a view to create an awareness among the national level scholars both Buddhist and nonBuddhist that Buddhism in every cultural context has challenges and those challenges should be properly apprehended for the future course of Buddhism. The BUSL-NC-2013 organizing committee consisting of academic and non-academic staff members has done an excellent job to make this event a grand success. In fact, the BUSL community has done their best for which I am very highly delighted and impressed. Hence, at this unique juncture, I would like to convey my greetings to the National Conference leading to a better outcome in the future cause of Buddhism. Ven. Dr. Waradiwela Wijayasumana Dean: Faculty of Languages & Cultural Studies 6 Message from the Registrar The BUSL-NC-2013 is a brainchild of the BUSL academic staff and the proposal was submitted to the BUSL Senate and Council for approval. The whole university community not only approved this whole heartedly but also stood together for the final fulfillment of the project. BUSL is no doubt a dwarf among the other giant national level universities yet it has a unique privilege to be located in the sacred premises where the first ever institute of Buddhist higher learning was established some two millennia ago. This special institute of Buddhist Studies has its own vision and mission and its task is totally dedicated to the propagation and preservation of the noble message of the Buddha in general and Buddhist education in particular. Hence, the Buddhasravaka Dharmapitha was promoted to a full-fledged Buddhist university in 1998 under a special Parliament Act. No doubt, it has a shorter history and possesses only a very limited capacity in terms of physical and human resources. Nevertheless, the BUSL community has proved in the past that they can excel any given challenge as a cohesive unit. BUSL-NC-2013 came to the limelight with the theme “New Buddhist Trends & Empowering of Theravada Buddhism in Sri Lanka” is certainly a very crucial theme that needs to be focused on by all concerned. Hosting an event of this nature itself was a greater challenge but the BUSL community took up this challenge and rose to the occasion to set up a forum for the Buddhist Academia to investigate this matter. Hence, I sincerely wish and pray that the BUSL-NC-2013 would be an eye opener of the Buddhist community so that all can stand together as a cohesively united team for the propagation and preservation of this universal doctrine and for the benefit of the Mankind in future as well. Mr. U.D. Dodanwala Registrar 7 Message from the Conference Chief Organizer BUSL-NC-2013 Programme was definitely not a cakewalk for us as our team had to fight with the time and many other debacles from the very outset. Team work, diligence, patience, unity in diversity are some of the key elements that we need to apply when it comes to an event of this nature. The task assigned to the selected members of our overall coordinating committee was more vacillating and hesitating than encouraging and entertaining. Nevertheless, we had to go through the hardships and started off with a limping snail pace. We never gave it up nor did we lose our spirit against the challenges that were looming large before us. Gradually we could unite the whole BUSL community just as it happened every time in the past. Both the academic and the non-academic staffs of BUSL flocked together to discuss the strategies and hurriedly appointed some working committees. Challenges were certainly there but we somehow could overcome them slowly and steadily. Thanks to the relentless hard work by the overall coordinators with the blessings and guidance of the respected Vice Chancellor, Deans and HODs and with the backing of the other academic and non-academic staff members we could finally see this National Conference a reality. The BUSL has shown lot of bright signs to stand as a premier centre of Buddhist scholarship. The university has recently been equipped with more infrastructure facilities within a relatively very short period of time mainly due to the tremendous leadership of the present Vice Chancellor, Venerable Professor Thumbulle Seelakkhandha Nayaka Thero. BUSL could organize a number of national and international conferences in the recent past addressing more practical and current issues. We selected this time New Buddhist Trends & Empowering of Theravada Buddhism in Sri Lanka as our conference theme. Our conference website www.buslnc2013.org was frequently updated and our conference email [email protected] got a very busy inbox in the course of time. We could transfer our message right across to all the national universities and the response we received was simply overwhelming. Hence our Review Panel had a tough time selecting the best out of the abstracts and eventually we could select little more than hundred abstracts for the BUSL-NC-2013. As Theravada Buddhism in Sri Lanka has been challenged by both internal and external factors, we believe that this National Conference on New Buddhist Trends & Empowering of Theravada Buddhism in Sri Lanka will yield some positive outcome in consolidating the Theravada Buddhist values in Sri Lanka. We certainly believe that this conference has provided an ideal platform for the Sri Lankan Buddhist scholars to share their views on this vital theme. I wish all our scholars the very best of luck with the blessings of the noble Triple Gem! Rev. Nivitigala Sumitta Conference Chief Organizer: BUSL-NC-2013 8 Message from the Joint Secretaries of the Organizing Committee It is with great honor that we issue this brief massage to be included in the proceedings of the Annual Research Conference 2013 of the Bhiksu University of Sri Lanka. The Annual Research Conference is a unique event in the academic calendar of our University. It provides all academics with a solid platform to work together for the production and dissemination of new knowledge. So, we are indeed honored and privileged to be the joint secretaries of this Annual Research Conference. Research which forms the fountain of new knowledge is an integral part of our professional life as academics. Therefore, Bhiksu University of Sri Lanka always gives very high priority for various initiatives in this regard. We, as one of the key contributors of development of the Theravada Buddhism in Sri Lanka, believe that this year‟s conference provides an excellent forum for exchanging information and discussion on a wide variety of “New Buddhist Trends and Empowering Theravada Buddhism in Sri Lanka”. It will be a unique conference for all colleagues involved in the field of Buddhism and other relevant research fields. The work of this conference is anchored on the collective efforts of all the academic and nonacademic staff members. As the joint secretaries of the organizing committee, it is our bounded duty to place on records our sincere appreciation to all the staff members to extend their fullest cooperation and assistance for materializing this significant event. In this regard, we respectfully acknowledge the positive and constructive advice and consistent support extended by the university administration led by Professor Thumbulle Seelakkhanda Nayaka Thera, Vice-Chancellor of the Bhiksu University of Sri Lanka and all members of our advisory board. And also, we wish to highlight with our feelings of gratitude and good wishes to all members of the organizing committee who have played a critical role in making this event a reality. Finally, on behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is our great honor and pleasure to warmly welcome all the distinguished participants to the National Conference of Bhiksu University of Sri Lanka. And also we wish them a very productive and academically stimulating forum to share the cutting edge knowledge and acclaimed expertise. Rev. Boliyadde Dhammakusala Rev.

The oldest scriptures were gathered into a mighty collection which consist of three sections, namely Vinaya, Sutta and Abhidhamma pitakas. At the first Buddhist council Vinaya and Sutta were settled. In the Cullavagga, Mahāvaṃsa and Dipavaṃsa or in any of these Pitakas it is not directly stated that Abhidhamma was taken to be discussed at the 1st council. Thus Abhidhamma pitaka is considerably younger that both Vinaya and Sutta Pitakas. Therefore, the Pāli canon is a gradual compilation in different periods. But according to the tradition the Buddha's discourses were collected and fixed in an authentic form at the 1st council. However, the Texts itself inform us that there are some additions and they were not completed at once. In this paper I hope to point out the later additions of the Pāli canon.

A reading of Willy Loman of Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman from a Buddhist Standpoint Swarnananda Gamage1 In the contemporary consumerist society, everything is treated as a commodity. Hence, everything has a price, and rather ironically everybody also has a price. Buddhism, although it originated 2600 years ago, has the apt perspective even in addressing this contemporary issue: Hence, expanding the Buddhist perspectives to read western literature and issues of contemporary consumerism can be regarded as a modern trend in Buddhism. In this vein, Willy Loman is a fine representation from American literature. Loman is a fictional character and the protagonist of Arthur Miller‟s renowned play Death of Salesman which had its premiere in 1949. A 60 year old travelling-salesman with 34 years of experience at the same company in America, Loman undergoes a process of commodification culminating in utter discomfort leading to his suicide. Loman‟s experience has been a powerful trope of commodification in many critical analyses of the play. However, a glaring omission amidst a plethora of such analyses is a critical reading of Loman in the light of Buddhist perspectives. The aim of this paper is to explore the tragic experiences of Loman through a textual analysis of the play, in tandem with a standpoint from Buddhism. The analysis will focalize on the concepts from Rattapala Sutra which explores diverse human sufferings. I would argue that the dual- nature of money both empowering and 1 Lecturer, Buddhist & Pali University, Homahama. 36 hazardous results in both individuals‟ rise and fall, hence discomfort. I will problematize as to whether this consumeristic reality can be avoided in contemporary society. The incorporation of Buddhist perspectives into mainstream English literature is, in this sense, not only a rarefied addition to the field„s wide-ranging concerns, but a point of immediate relevance to many experiences in contemporary society.

Athale Sumana1 Protests organized and conduct by Buddhist monks are common phenomena in Sri Lanka. Sri Lankan monks‟ protests have a long history and its effect on the society has been considerably influential in most of the historically significant conjunctures. From Colonial periods to today Buddhist monks have being fought against social, religious and other sorts of injustices society faced with. Many sociological and anthropological researchers are also done on these phenomena. However, many crucial changes seem to have occurred the way such protests are organized, they are conducted and the quality of the participants. There is much criticism on abusing political power that the Sri Lankan monks historically endowed with, abusing novice monks for political agendas, being aggressive at the protests, and protesting for personal agendas etc. It is being questioned by many social groups including some Buddhist monks themselves. In the researches expect to examine the motives of the so-called organizers of protests and the socio-ethical influences caused by such acts. Moreover, an attempt is made to identify the difference between the historical protests and modern protests of Sri Lankan monks based on the realistic ground of the Sri Lankan history.

Nivitigala Sumitta1 Communication today has shattered every impediment on its way making the whole globe a simple and small place. The article to the science magazine Wireless World by the world renowned science fiction writer Arthur C. Clerk in 1940s has probably been the turning point of today´s ultra modern communication advances. Communication has definitely changed the face of modern day life today with the great shift from snail mail to electronic mail, from telegrams to sms, from radio to television etc. Among the many communication tools, Blog Writing is a recent phenomenon yet very effective when it comes to transferring of various messages to the world at large. The world today is witnessing millions of blogs which hit the internet thick and fast with messages of many different subject areas. They are very effective, appealing and popular forums with diverse and attractive features like colourful pictures, animations and various comments. They can reach many multitudes of people around the globe in seconds. People can view them, share them with others, and also comment on them. Religious blog writing is comparatively a new phenomenon but it has grown really fast in the recent years with the addition of millions of blogs to the internet. Particularly the non-Buddhist blogs are very high in comparison to Buddhist blogs. The main reason for this is the lack of technical knowledge and awareness. This easy to learn, user friendly method is one of the most effective tools to communicate with the world at large. With the comprehensive access to electronic gadgets today, if the Buddhist monks and lay Buddhist scholars take some interest in this field it can be very useful for propagating Theravada Buddhism both in Sri Lanka and abroad. This study will be predominantly based on field research such as questionnaires, interviews, discussions etc. along with some reference to internet and other sources for conceptual aspects.

Dr. Kanumuldeniye Chandasoma 1 Jétavanārāma Sanskrit Inscription has constituted rules and regulations for the guidance of monks and laymen who had lived within the Buddhist temple premises during the 9th and 10th centuries. The Inscription is very helpful to understand certain aspects of the monastic life and its administration in ancient Sri Lanka. At present, Buddhist temples face great problems and difficulties in conducting monastic life and when leading the lay devotees for the Summum Bonnum of life. The said Inscription guides us to think the management of temples and regulate the present problems and difficulties in accordance with the ancient way of Buddhist culture. The Inscription consists with many ordinances to be followed by monks and laymen. Management at present plays an important role to create cooperate policy to achieve desired targets. Organizing, planning, controlling and directing are main pillars of management of any organization or Institution. Considering the Buddhist Philosophy management for man and materials is given a prominent place to solve the problems and difficulties. Followings are the points to be discussed at this juncture. Monks and their monastic discipline Lay devotees Property of temples State governors and temple-precepts etc. It can be believed that proper management of temples could be a great and high fact to empower Theravada Buddhism in Sri Lanka.

Veheragodella (latitude715 ft from MSL) is an archaeological site which includes disturbed remains of a Buddha image, a Stupa, few stone pillars, brickbats etc. This site is located in the jungle in the vicinity of the village Wayaulpatha. It is administratively located in the Palugaswewa divisional secretariat in Anuradhapura district, North – Central province of Sri Lanka. There are two main objectives in this research. One is to explain the archaeological significance of this place and its periphery. The second is to summarize the site formation processes which can be observed from the site and its affect on the archaeological context. Veheragodella and its adjacent area have a very long history from protohistoric period to date. Field exploration, personal communication and literature review are the main data accumulation methods in this research. Data analysis and conclusions in this research has been done in accordance with a comparative approach.

Bowatta1 Magul Mahavihara monastic complex belonging to the pabbata vihara tradition is located in Lahugala village, Ampara District, Eastern Province. According to the legends the site is the place where the wedding ceremony of king Kavantissa and Viharamaha Devi had taken place. However, the inscriptions in the temple complex refer to the place as Ruhunu maha vihara and runu maha vihara which was built by King Datusena (6th century A.D.) The monastic complex has been periodically renovated by kings and their consorts including one Vihharamahadevi who live in 14th century. 1 Department of Archaeology, Sir Marcus Fernando Mawatha, Colombo 07. 48 The paper presents the Moonstone of regular semi circle found in the site as one of the finest examples of Sri Lankan sculptural art. It consists of a row of elephants in the first line, followed by a rumbling creeper. The band of elephants that proceed in the same direction has been sculptured with their mahouts. The line of geese in the third band carries different types of flowers in their beaks. There is no carving of flames in the final band of the Moonstone of Magul Mahavihara which is very common to the Anuradhapura period. This Moonstone which is profusely sculptured and well preserved differs from the general types Moonstones of Anuradhapura period. The paper discusses the unique features of the Magul Mahavihara Moonstne, while comparing and contrasting it with other Moonstones in Sri Lanka.

Dr. Moragollagama Uparathana1 Inner peace or peace of mind according to Buddhism refers to a state of being mentally and spiritually at peace and being endowed with enough understanding of reality to keep oneself steadfast and calm in the face of conflicts, problems, scarcities and hardships. Peace of mind is particularly associated with bliss, happiness, serenity, calmness and contentment. The ultimate peace of mind, according to Buddhism, is enlightenment. Sufferings, problems, worries, stress, unhappiness, anxiety and all other detrimental mental states overwhelm the mind. When the mind responds to difficulties and problems with peacefulness those unhealthy states would not be problems for us. Problems arise only if we respond to them with a negative state of mind. The mind overwhelmed by the noxious trio – greed, hatred and delusion leads to uncontrolled insatiable desire for material comforts, wealth, power or fame at the stake of others‟ lives. Such individuals with deluded mental states beleaguered by avarice, egoism, conceit, pride and immorality destroy their inner peace and engulf peace of individuals, families, ethnic groups, nations and eventually the peace of the whole of humanity. Individuals endowed with loving-kindness, compassion, altruistic acts, understanding, contentment etc. inculcate inner peace in them and through suppressed greed, hatred and delusion alleviate others‟ sufferings. Such individuals work towards the realization of establishing inner peace in daily life and simultaneously contribute to the realization of the peace of the world. Hence, the prime purpose of this paper is to expose how inner peace is attained and how inner peace of individual brings about peace in family life, community life (especially: social, cultural, political and religious) and ultimately genuine peace in world. Keywords: mind, inner peace, noxious –trio, community life 1 Senior Lecturer, Buddhist & Pāli University, Homagama. 51 BUSL-NC-2013- 019 Mettā (in Brahmavihāras) vs Ānāpānasati which Practice is more frequently mentioned in the Pāli canon and why? Ven.Deranagala.Kusalagnana1 The practice of loving-kindness meditation can lead you directly to the experience of nibbāna as one progresses in brahma vihāras: that is, the practice of loving- kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy and equanimity. The Buddha mentioned this type of meditation more times than he did “Mindfulness of Breathing” meditation. Therefore, one may understand how important the Buddha thought it was. In modern ways of counting the words by using “search the word” facility of a software that contain numerous Pāḷi texts, the word ‘mettā’ exceeds the term ‘ānāpānassati. The term ‘mettā’ appears in one hundred and four texts numbering to three hundred and ninety two places while the term ‘ānāpānassati’ can be seen only in thirty three texts numbering to one hundred and nine places. The accusative form, ‘ānāpānasatiṃ’ is seen only in two texts and in two places whereas the compound ‘mettābhāvanā’ numbers to twenty eight places throughout sixteen texts. The usage ‘ānāpānasati’ (without duplicating the sound s as ‘ssati’) comes to be seen only in one place. Therefore, if one takes these accounts into consideration, one may understand how significantly ‘mettā’ is treated in the Pāli literature. A common myth related to loving kindness meditation is that many teachers won‟t give thorough attention to loving kindness practice assuming that this practice alone does not directly lead the meditation practitioner to the experience of the bliss of nibbāna. They would instruct their students to practice a little bit of loving kindness meditation accompanied with asubha (repulsiveness of the body) or contemplating on the qualities of the Buddha (buddhānussati) as an aid to / prior to the main meditation, that is, more frequently, the „mindfulness of breathing‟ (ānāpānasati) as the object of meditation. Where does this idea come from? 1 Lecturer, Sri Lanka International Buddhist Academy, Pallekale, Kandy. 52 The commentary says “although one makes efforts to attain nibbāna through loving kindness practice, even when knowing conditioned dhammas thoroughly, still one is unable to attain nibbāna. The sub-commentary does not promote the idea of the commentator but says that mettā practice is conducive to arahatship. What maybe mentioned in the suttas? Of course, let alone the commentary and the subcommentary, the suttas do mention that the mettā practice is leading to nibbāna. When loving-kindness meditation is practiced as part of the brahma vihāras, that kind of practice will take the meditation practitioner to the „liberation from the beautiful‟ (subha vimokkha) that is the fourth jhāna level or beyond- is where the meditation practitioner experiences deep states of equanimity in which the potentials to the beautiful states such as the aråpas are developed. Thus, this paper will address the views of the aṭṭhakathā and the ṭīkā on mettā practice on its relevance to the path conducive to nibbāna as well. However, according to the suttas, without trivializing, the priority given to the mettā practice is greater than that of the Ānāpānasati practice. The suttas like MN 62 The Mahārāhulovāda Sutta, MN 27 chulahatthipadopama Sutta, MN 48 Kosambhiya Sutta, MN 77 Mahā Sakuludayī Sutta, SN Mettāsahagata Sutta, AN 3. 65 Kālāma Sutta, AN 4. 50 Upakkhilesa Sutta, Karaṇīyametta Sutta in Sutta Nipāta and AN. 11. 16 Mettānisaṃsa Sutta bear numerous explanations into this. Thus, this paper examines the frequency and importance of the practice of loving kindness meditation while shedding light on the relevance of mettā bhāvanā towards the path conducive to nibbāna as recorded in the Pāli canon.

Further the procedure of developing it for creating a disciplined and peaceful society which will be free from conflicts, fear and anxiety too will be discussed. Mettā bhāvanā was practiced in Sri Lanka during the past and it has become one of the popular practices of Buddhist meditation in the island. Buddhist monks include Metta Sutta as one of the sutras in their regular Paritta chanting. Mettā Bhāvanā has been fully explained by the Elder Buddhaghosa in his book Visuddhi Magga. Accordingly The practitioner must first develop mettā continuously up on oneself. Then, it should be developed towards a very good friend, a neutral person and an enemy. There after the Mettā should be cultivated in twenty two ways as explained in Paţisambhidā Magga. These twenty two ways are divided into three main categories as follows: five ways of unspecified perversion (anodhiso pharaņā mettā), seven ways of specified perversion (odhiso pharaņā mettā četovimutti) and ten ways of directional perversion (disā pharaņāmettā). Its superiority is indicated in Dhammasaŋgaņippakaraňa too. According to this text Mettā bhāvanā is a wholesome root associated with non-hatred. It has been said in both Mettasutta and Majjhima Nikāya that the practitioner of mettā would enter the path to the company of Brahma. The procedure of cultivating Mettā has been explained in Metta Sutta. In this Sutta the Mettā meditation has been described in detail by dividing living beings into different categories. The greatness of Mettā meditation has been explained in the Čunda Kammāra Sutta of Aŋguttara Nikāya. The merits of Mettā Bhāvanā have been narrated in the Mettānisaŋsa Sutta as sleeping in comfort (sukhaŋ supati) etc. In conclusion I would like to state that the governing authorities and citizens in different countries of the world should develop Mettā if they need to live peacefully without the fear of arms struggles and of death.

Ven. Bhikkhuni Anula Devi1 Removing suffering is always the main target of the living beings. The Buddha at last achieved the cessation of suffering and he declared in his first sermon: “In short, the Five Aggregates affected by clinging are suffering / saṃkhittena pañcupādānakkhandhā dukkhā. So, dropping clinging/upādāna should be the core of the Buddhist practice. Here we become very curious about the real meaning or the state of “clinging/upādāna”. Then through Bhikkhuni Dhammadinnā we can find the definition about “clinging” in Cùavedalla Sutta: It is whatever desire and lust in regard to the five aggregates affected by clinging that is the clinging there / pañcasu upādānakkhandhesu chandarāgo taṃ tattha upādāna. While we are living with our six sense organs it appears to be impossible because our life is continued by the five aggregates themselves. Then how can we go beyond all kinds of desire and lust ? Here is the greatness of vipassana meditation which makes this possible. Consciousness always arises automatically when it comes into contact with external objects. Then naturally the rest of the four other aggregates come into existence simultaneously. Here, we just observe arisen consciousness with the next consciousness. When the subsequent consciousness as sati deliberately drops the prior consciousness, then, only at that moment can we be away from desire and lust. This is the skill in meditation. So in vipassana meditation, the emphasis is put on the mindfulness of the rising and falling of objects or more exactly, on the appearing and disappearing of consciousness which will result in the cessation of consciousness. Key words: Removing suffering, dropping clinging, upādāna, the Five Aggregates, the core of the Buddhist practice, vipassana, consciousness 1 PhD Candidate, Postgraduate Institute of Pali and Buddhist Studies, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka. 55 BUSL-NC-2013- 022 The Utility of Buddhist Psycho-Linguistic Therapeutic Techniques for Counseling Ven. Kirimetiyawe Dhammasiri1 Language is a sophisticated media of influencing human thoughts from generation to generation in human history. And language is a sharp tool for shaping the behavioral patterns of human beings. This research will examine Buddhist approach to psycholinguistic Therapeutic Techniques in the process of counseling and this study is based on canonical texts in Buddhism. When we examine the teachings of Buddhism, it is possible to notice the use of words with double meaning among the Buddha‟s teachings. The Buddha has used on many occasions double meaning words for the purpose of counseling people. It is reasonable to say that the double meaning terms or verbal expressions of the Buddha show some sort of psycholinguistic therapeutic character. As an example, the Buddhist psycholinguistic therapeutic treatment techniques can be seen in the story of Angulimala, Patacara and Kisagotami etc. Three of these characters were faced with sorrowful situations at the time of Buddha. The Buddha has used psycholinguistic techniques in order to bring back normalcy to Angulimala's mentality and others too. The Buddha has frequently used 'psychological metaphors and double meaning sentences when he needed to bring about understanding regarding something in the mind of the person he was counseling. For example, the Buddha asked Kisagotami to bring mustard seed from a house where nobody is dead. On other occasion, when Angulimala chased after the Buddha yelling at the Buddha to stop the Buddha, while continuing Buddha's walking, replied that he has stopped already and retorted 'do not you want to stop? Hearing this, the bandit was puzzled, because he was asked to stop while he was not walking and because the Buddha said he has stopped while he was still walking. 1 Probasonary Lecturer, Department of Buddhist Studies and Pali, Bhiksu University of Sri Lanka, Anuradhapura. 56 When we consider the above stories it is possible to understand the fact that Buddhism has used a variety of psycholinguistic therapeutic techniques. Taking this matter into account, this research will expect to examine new avenues of counseling for clients using psycholinguistic methods.

Kirama Wimalatissa1 The entire Buddhist doctrine which has been preserved by Thervāda Buddhist monks over 2557 years comprised in Pāli tipiṭaka. It is said that the tipiṭaka has been continued by Bhānaka traditions through learn by heart until it was written down. The primary objective of them is not limited to just preserve the tipiṭaka but also study the tipiṭaka in depth. Those who want a profound knowledge about Buddhism should study tipiṭaka but at present in Pivriven education system, there is no a systematic method to study tipiṭaka for monks. The text books of Buddhism which have been recommended by Ministry of Education for Pirivena, just only touch surface of Buddhism. Not only primary education but in secondary education, at least even in the university education systems, there does not have a proper method to study Pāli 1 Probationary Lecturer, Department of Buddhist Studies & Pali, Bhiksu University of Sri Lanka, Anuradhapura. 58 tipiṭaka. As a consequence of this, the knowledge of Buddhist texts is decreasing ever than before among the Buddhist monks. At present, there are many threats for Buddhism in the country. Other religious sects invade our culture while some groups of sects who claim as Buddhists distort Buddhist doctrine. Some group of monks reject a part of tipiṭaka and some lay people appear as the Buddhas. According to such a scenario, up-and-coming young Buddhist monks' knowledge must be improved by using basic Buddhist scriptures. Thereafter, they will learn how to response to opposite views that are against Buddhism. Therefore, Monks' education system must be re-scheduled and priority should be given to Buddhism and Pāli language in Piriven Education and University education. Although it has new tendency to learn Buddhism in the world there are only few scholars who have gained enough qualifications to propagate Dhamma in the world. If we maintain conscious methods to study Buddhism in primary and secondary education system for monks, it will be the best means to learn Buddhism and Sri Lanka will be the fertile land for the diffusion of Buddhism to the world.

Dr. Kanumuldeniye Chandasoma1 It is heard from every nook and corner of the Island that Mother tongue „Sinhala‟ has been deteriorated due to lack of language proficiency. This is not only the case with the Mother tongue but even our sacred languages such as Pali and Sanskrit have been neglected from further learning. Hence, language competency to be grasped in the traditional way has been forgotten. It should be stated that our traditional educational system nurture students with deep knowledge of languages. 1 Senior Lecturer in Sanskrit, Bhiksu University of Sri Lanka, Anuradhapura. 59 The languages Pali and Sanskrit are considered to be the mother languages of Sinhala. Pali is especially taught and learnt for understanding of Buddhism since ancient time in Sri Lanka. In the same way, Sanskrit has been incorporated in the curriculum of traditional Monastic Institutes to produce a learned scholar. It is mainly expected to give a deep knowledge on Buddhist Philosophy and culture and at the same time reader is able to learn proper spelling and pronunciation of words. Meanwhile, learners‟ vocabulary was high and exalted. Considering Sanskrit, there is a set of books called „A Collection of Temple Books‟ that was written in Sanskrit. To name few of them, Buddhagadya and Sakaskada Nāmāśta śatakam Nawarathna Bhaktiśatakam or Bauddhaśatakam Anuruddha śatakam Sūrya śatakam etc. The main objective of this research is to investigate the present-day Sanskrit curriculum of the monastic schools and how far student is successful in grasping the language ability. Again, as Theravada Buddhist country, Sri Lanka should nourish Sanskrit curriculum to receive a deep knowledge on languages.

Aloysius1 Today, it is a common scene that many Buddhist monks disrobe and go back to their parents or villages due to their personal and other matters. This number rapidly increases and approximately 1000 Buddhist monks leave the order annually. This is a big loss for the country as far as Buddhism is concerned. It is, therefore, very significant to investigate the issue of disrobing of the Buddhist monks in Sri Lanka, which adversely affects the Buddhist education. The objective of the present study is to find out the salient facts regarding the prevalent problem so that the responsible people will be able to initiate appropriate measures to overcome the issue, which will most probably result in adverse effects in the future. The methodology used in the present study was as follows. Interviews, discussions and observations were the tools used for collecting primary data whereas the articles published in journals, magazines, newspapers and websites were used for collecting secondary data. It was revealed through the study that many disrobed monks were found to be in poor families, whose parents underwent abject poverty and sufferings. Some of their mothers have gone to the Middle East countries as housewives. Some of their fathers were found to be masons, carpenters, drivers, labourers, barbers and those who were involved in minor jobs. In addition to this, some monks disrobe due to the love affairs, which they had developed while they remained as Bhikkus. And the third reason for the issue is that they were highly dominated by their high priests and senior monks in the temple. The fourth reason is that unqualified monks ordain the young Bhikkus. If the above issues can be solved, the present trend for Buddhist monks to disrobe will stop to some extent.

Ven. Galle Dhamminda1 In the pirivena sector, some students are not concerned about their inborntalents. Traditionally though they have the ability for rote learning sometimes they only practisefor Pali, Sanskrit and Tipiţaka studies. Here we want to generate those skills and convert them into the improvement of English knowledge and integrate with „speakingability‟. Speaking English is one of practical methods which is helpful for thedevelopment of language skills. How can we practise English during the study hours? We can use simple vocabulary and conversations. No need to depend on difficult grammatical components. Firstly, the novices should be made to practisewith short and interesting conversations to encourage the language ability by the teachers. Here we introduce some relevant dialogues which tally with the monastic education and integrate them with writing, reading, listening and speaking. Objectives of the research would be follows: 01. Improving selected students‟ listening and speaking ability. 02. Introducingeveryday conversations, diagrams, picture descriptions and word finding whichcan be practised and, 03. Learning of English with special reference to the monastic practices. In this research we do not completely depend onprimary pirivena English text books, and my own creative workalso will be used as the practical guides according to the context. Findingand improving the potentialof thepirivena students would be beneficial to handle the English language easily and they can integrate them with reading, listening and writing skills too. Our neophytes do not have enough opportunities to learn and practise English. They learn English amidst many difficulties. This methodology of practicemayguide them to speak English easily.

Old people think religion is more important to their lives than young people do (Atchley 1980). Religion is a broad, pervasive and multi-dimensional phenomenon. Enhanced levels of religiosity in old age may be due to a number of reasons. Religion in old age can be a mechanism by which elders retain their losing social interaction, physical and psychological integrity. This study examines different levels of religious engagement among elderly pertaining to diverse aspects of religiosity while positioning their religious practice in the debate of great and little traditions of Buddhism (Obeyesekere(1983). Temple attendance, collective rituals, prayers, religious belief, religious knowledge and spiritual exercise are the different aspects of religion examined. Qualitative interview and structured questionnaire (N= 400) were the methods of data collection employed. Research used both quantitative and qualitative techniques. Research was carried out in five cultural- ecological zones namely urban, semi-urban, estates, traditional village and colonized schemes. The Accordingly, sample represented the districts of Colombo, Kalutara, and Ratnapura of Sri Lanka. Overwhelmingly high majority of elders engaged in religious behavior such as temple attendance, prayers and other collective rituals while the proportions of elders abide by the core doctrinal elements of Buddhist great tradition remains relatively low. Belief and meaning elderly associate with their religious practices vary over a wide range of experience. Female elders are more religious in comparison. More of urban and semi-urban elders are sensitive to the ideals of Theravādha Buddhism.

Among them respiration mindfulness concentration (Ānāpānasati) occupies the most prominent and significant place. This has been widely practiced by the Buddhists throughout history. As a result, the original words of the Buddha on this subject have been subjected to various interpretations in the hands of ancient as well as later commentators who are meditation teachers of various Buddhist traditions all over the world. Hence, a careful analysis of the words of the Buddha on this subject, keeping in mind the spirit of the Buddha‟s teachings, is timely and of great relevance. The interpretations of key terms such as parimukham, passambhayaṃ kāyasaṃskāraṃ etc. in the description of this mode of meditation mainly in the Ānāpānasati Sutta of the Majjhima Nikāya are to be researched with close reference to the Visuddhimagga commentary. Moreover, crucial to an understanding of the prime significance of respiration mindfulness on reading concentration is how the Four basses of mindfulness (Cattāro Satipaṭṭānaā), viz. the contemplation of the body, of feeling, of mind, and of mind objects fall under ānāpānasati. It seems that the Buddha preferred this mode of meditation to others due to its peculiar qualities which are to be realized directly as well as by reading between the lines of the relevant Suttas. For example, once, when the monks failed to grasp correctly the practice of foul meditation, the Buddha described in detail how to practice respiration mindfulness on reading concentration and listed its numerous benefits. (Vinaya, Suttavibhanga – Pārājikā III) Further, it would be rather interesting to note how this simple breathing in and out clears the way for the realization of impermanence, suffering, and the status of „no-soul‟ (Tilakkhana) and when practiced in a particular way leads to liberation. The Buddha has elaborted the gradual spiritual development of the practitioner of respiration mindfulness on reading concentration. At its last phase, when fully concentrating on respiration, the practitioner is able to realize the seven enlightenment 1 Senior Lecturer, Department of Classical Language, University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka. 65 factors (Satta Bojhjangas) by removing the ten kinds of knowledge obstacles (Dasasaṃyojanas). this description reminds one of the several stages of this physical and mental development described by the Buddha of which the early stages are not spiritual but worldly. For instance, one should begin first with four basses of mindfulness (Kāyānupassanā) and should practice in a sequential order. Thus, this mode of meditation is relevant and can be practiced by anyone even today more easily than any other mode of meditation preached by the Buddha.

Boralande Dhammaratana1 The Bālāvatāra of Ven. Dhammakitti, is most extensively used as a pāli grammar in Sri Lanka because it is the best manual so far produced on the Kaccayana grammatical system. In this research paper my intention is to propose a linguistic approach about sequence of chapters in the Bālāvatāra. As last stanza point out the chapters of the Bālāvatāra are : Sandhi (Combination), Nāma (Noun), Samāsa (Compound), Taddhita (Second derivative), Akhyāta (Verb), Kitaka (Primary derivative) and Kāraka (Sintax). Phonology, morphology and syntax are the basic linguistic concepts of the language. Phonology concerns with the systematic organization of sound in the language. Morphology is the study of the formation, analysis, description of words and the term syntax is used to refer directly to the rules and principles of the sentence structure. In the Bālāvatāra, Sandhi the first chapter is concerned to phonology of the language. In addition, the Chapters of nāma, samāsa, taddhita, akhyāta and kitaka deal with morphology of the language. These chapters together discuss: Noun and Verb. Here Nāma, Samāsa and taddhita can be categorized as noun, as well as verb includes 1 M.phil Candidate, Department of Pali & Buddhist Studies, University of Peradeniya. 67 chapters of akhyāta and kitaka. Kāraka denotes the syntax of the language. All eight chapters in the Bālāvatāra then cover these three linguistic concepts. Therefore, the Balavatara can be considered as a linguistic explanation of the language.

Statistics in contemporary society reveals that, both males and females are subjected to domestic violence in every corner of the world. Civilized democratic state and society makes and implements the rules and regulations against this type of violence although still as reported several occasions about damaging the virtues of humanity and placing of domestic violence in society. Sri Lanka is one of the countries which follows anti violence rules and regulations and attempts to protect the Sri Lankans from violence designed by state against citizens as well as individuals against another one. Other than law factors, the rulers used the religious approach to address the domestic violence although the reality is far away from the target goals. The role of any religion in general and Buddhism in particular, domestic violence can be discussed in two ways. One is that all the religions trained their followers to have peaceful spiritual development. Buddhism highlighted the self-disciplines and selfcontrol of human life from the point of five precepts to the deep understanding of „chatu- ariya saccha‟ and it paves the way to construct the positive relationships with others and have harmony and reconciliation in the private and public domains. The research problem is that, even though as a society which spends all the time on following the Buddhist teaching on non-violence, there is a number of Buddhist 1 Lecturer- Department of Economics- University of Ruhuna. Lecturer- Department of Humanities and Social sciences- Sabaragamua University of Sri Lanka. 3 Postgraduate Student- University of Delhi. 2 73 houses filled with domestic violence which has restricted the individual liberty and harm human dignity. Two research problems were discussed; one is that how does the Buddhism is practiced in individual‟s day to day lives? Second one is that how does Buddhism is incorporated in building harmony and violence free in homes and societies? The study was done in Rassandeniya- GN division in Matara DN division in Southern Province and data was collected by 30 case studies. Respondents for the research were 15 males and 15 females. Data was/is analyzed by discourse analysis methodology. The Key finding is that they have poor knowledge on core teaching in Buddhism. Protestant or commercialized Buddhism predominates the daily religious practices of the individuals and all the „puja‟ is to have the material development more than ever and none want to have the spiritual development and practice the values of Buddhism. None of the religious factors such as economic and social status affect in the violated behavior. As a religious institution, village temple has failed in intervening as a negotiator in the home based conflicts.

Athale Sumana1 Sri Lanka is a Theravada Buddhist country. Theravada tradition gives priority for the Disciplinary Codes (Vinaya rules) more than other things. Buddhism continues from generation to generation through reciters. Earlier, there was no recording system. So, monks had to memorize the teachings of the Buddha by heart. It is important to memorize the teachings of Buddha. During the famine, Sri Lankan monks protected the Teaching with difficulty even sacrificing their lives. The memorising of the doctrine is the heart of the Sri Lankan Theravada tradition. Most young monks graduated from universities are not only unable to do very important monastic activities such as reciting Patimokka by heart but some can‟t recite even by referring text books. This is the time of Katina ceremony period. In every temple once a year, there is Katina Puja. Katina robes have to be given to the suitable monks. At that occasion, monks recite Pali verse mostly by heart. Many young monks find it difficult to do it. Some young monks can‟t recite common Chanting of Pirith. Some can't read the Suttas on olla leaves. It is a tradition to declare of self purification (Āpatti Arochana) before going to (Chaptering house), the place where monks gather to perform Vinaya Kamma. They find difficult to recall declaring of self purification in Pali. Once a year in Sri Lankan monk community engages in the Poya Vinaya activities. But, according to Vinaya rule, it must be performed twice a month. However, in Sri Lankan tradition, it is very important for Vinaya. Senior monks even without formal education certificates can perform these monastic Vinya Kammas in a most successful manner. Therefore monks must be awareness of this problem. The goal of this paper is to find why these problems occur in monk society, why we concern these problems and how elderly monks can do these practically very well 1 Sub Warden, Bhiksu University of Sri Lanka, Anurdhapura. 76 though they donot have any formal education certificate. What is the bad effect of this trend? Then, how can we solve this problem? Keywords: Monastic life, Monks, Sri Lankan Buddhism, Vinaya. BUSL-NC-2013- 041 Kathaṃ Mayaṃ Bhante Mātugāme Paṭipajjāmāti...Adassanaṃ Ānandoti..... Does this Statement of the Buddha Imply an Anti Feminist Attitudes? Ven. Moragaswewe Vijitha1 This abstracttalks about anopen for debate statement of the Buddha that found in the Mahāparinibbāna Sutta of the Dīgha Nikāya.The Mahāparinibbāna Sutta records what happened in the last days of the life of the Buddha. This is the longest discourse of the Dīgha Nikāya. In this particular Sutta, we come across a very brief conversation between the Buddha and his attendant ,the Venerable Ānanda. He asks the Buddha how the monks should behave towards womenfolk. The Buddha replies him thus: "How are we to conduct ourselves, Master, with regard to womenfolk". (kathaṃ mayaṃ bhante mātugāme paṭipajjāmāti) "As not seeing them, Ānanda." (adassanaṃ Ānandoti) "But if we should see them, what are we to do?" (dassane bhagavā sati katham paṭipajjitabbanti) "No talking, Ānanda." (anālāpo Ānandoti) "But if they should speak to us, Master, what are we to do?" (ālapantena pana bhante kathaṃ paṭipajjitabbanti?) 1 Assistant Lecturer, Department of Pāli & Buddhist Studies,University of Peradeniya. 77 "Keep wide awake, Ānanda." (sati Ānanda upaṭṭhāpetabbāti) (D. II, PTS., p154) This saying of the Buddha appears suddenly in the Sutta after mentioning of the list of four sacred places that should be visited by a faithful follower.Venerable Ānanda's this querywithout any relevance to the narrative. When we make a close inquiry into the first and the second replies of the Buddha, it is obvious that the Buddha wanted the monks to keep away from any communication with women kind. But the Buddha's third reply is quite puzzling. He reminds the monks to be mindful when they communicate with womenfolk. In the Aṇguttara Nikāya, too, this kind of statement isfound. What does the entire conversation implyto us? This implies the traditional Indian outlook on women inherited by Indian society in general, does not it? Taking into consideration this saying of the Buddha, without any hesitation, anyone can recognize the Buddha as a misogynist. Are these words really declared by the Buddha himself or are they later compilation of some antifeminist monks? These statementsseem to go against the original Buddhist teachings. It is our duty to seek the hidden reality behind of this statement ascribed to the Buddha.

Dr. WaradiwelaWijayasumana1 Out of all streams of religious thoughts in the world, Buddhism exells in its educational value. The early Buddhists texts are full of educational concepts and; reveal the importance of the teacher's role & principles of teaching. The Buddha's ability & vision as the greatest teacher of God and men can be utilized for empowering the role of teacher in the modern day. According to the texts of Sutta Pitaka, the Buddha's approach for teaching emphasis that there are certain essential preliminaries a teacher has to fulfill his actual tasks of imparting knowledge. Some of them are follows; to have rapport or empathy between teacher and the student, the choice of a lesson and its logical organization, skill of analysis of concepts, Introducing a lesson in a logical way and introducing sound principles of learning such as Suta, (Listning), Dhata, (Retention), Paricita, (Practice), Manasānupekkhitha, (Reflection), Suppatividdha,(Comprehension) According to Buddhist pedagogy, the effectiveness of learning process partly depends on the teacher himself and partly on his way of teaching. The teacher is looked upon as the path finder and his method is the key that unlocks the door to new knowledge.So, the pedagogy (way of teaching) in as important as the teacher himself. The principles of teaching in the Buddhist text demonstrate the significance of the role of teacher and the importance of practicing them to be a perfect teacher. This study is done by using the research method "Content Analysis" and the researcher believes the modern teacher can enhance teaching skills by practicing Buddhist theory of instructions revealed by this study.

Venura Lakshman1 The North Central Province, which is the largest province of Sri Lanka, has been indicating poorer results in the National Examinations with compared to other provinces. This situation is common in both privena & other schools. Today in modern society, the basic knowledge of Mathematics is very important not only for lay people but also for Buddhist monks. Therefore a comprehensive study is required to find out reasons to this situation. In Primary Mathematics, students gain basic Mathematics concepts .As the first step, a survey on Primary Mathematics is conducted to find out which topics are most difficult for students in the North Central province in selected privena & schools. This survey is conducted in two levels. In the first level, a question paper was prepared to cover all topics in primary Mathematics. After analyzing the results of that paper, topics more weakly answered were selected & set another paper out of those topics (that were badly answered) like Geometry, Volume Calculations etc. In this paper, the root causes for them are to be revealed. Also Microsoft Excel is used for statistical analysis. Then a comprehensive computer programme has been designing to upraise Primary Mathematics level in both privena & other schools.

Mediyawe Piyarathana1 The aim of this research is to present the use of English for empowering Buddhism with special reference to morphology and affixation. As it can be seen, there is a great tendency in using English for propagating Buddhism throughout the world. Affixation includes prefixes, infixes and suffixes. In English, there are over eight hundred prefixes and the same number of suffixes though English doesn‟t have too many infixes. Empowering Theravada Buddhism in the entire world has become a timely need as the world is going through a very difficult period due to various factors. Everything is going to rack and ruin. Therefore, Theravada Buddhism will be more specific to address those burning issues since it addresses all the areas of human life based on cognitive features. In empowering Theravada Buddhism, English plays a vital role as a communication tool linking different nations in the world around the great message of the Buddha. Morphology concerns with the correct formation words out of morphemes. Correct formation of English morphemes helps immensely to use the language effectively. The knowledge on inflectional and derivational morphemes will be explored in this research by taking examples from Buddhist sources. If Buddhist scholars are aware of these morphemes, then, they can use English language effectively and efficiently. The researcher tries to make Buddhist scholars aware of English morphemes and their significance in empowering Buddhism. Further, since Buddhism is a vast and developed philosophy, it consists so many technical terms referring to various disciplines. Affixes play a significant role in forming those words and it will help Buddhists to generate and understand the 1 Probasonary Lecturer , Bhiksu University of Sri Lanka, Anuradhapura. 81 technical terms necessary for empowering Buddhism. Apart from this, with the knowledge of affixes, comprehension will be easy and the correct syllabication will be prominent. For the correct understanding and usage of word classes, affixes help immensely. They will help in identifying the positioning of technical terms as well. It is clear that morphemes help in forming various kinds of words belonging to various word classes. The knowledge on them will enhance fluency of English language and at the same time it will improve the capacity to propagate Theravada Buddhism throughout the world with English as the medium of communication.

Bandara1 The purpose of this study was to explore the Teacher Professional Development Programs in Sri Lanka. Specifically, this investigation attempts to identify the effective methods in School-Based or „Piriven‟-Based Teacher Professional Development Programs. Teacher Professional Development is a very important concept in nowadays, because it leads to develop students‟ quality of the outcomes. Therefore, School or „piriven‟ teachers have to update and intensify their knowledge, skills, attitudes and practices according to students‟ demand. Professional development programs for teachers in Sri Lanka are divided into two groups. The first is the School-Based („Piriven‟-Based) Teacher Professional Development programs which are organized and implemented by school principals and the staff. The second 1 Department of Education, Faculty of Arts, University of Peradeniya, Peradeniya 82 is the Non School-Based („Piriven‟-Based) Teacher Professional Development Programs which are organized and implemented by outside organizations of the schools or „Pirivena‟. Both programs are included various types of Teacher Professional Development methods or activities. The research design was based on qualitative research approach. Ten secondary schools were selected from five educational Zones in Sri Lanka. The data were collected by conducting interviews, non-participative observation and documentary searching. The data was coded, presented and discussed in four themes. Further, the data were analyzed using the Activity Theory framework in order to investigate the complex inter-relationships of the individual components of the Teacher Professional Development program‟s activity system. The main findings of the research were principals‟ awareness about the School-Based Teacher Professional Development Program were not sufficient and a policy for School-Based Teacher Professional Development needs to be developed. According to the findings, recommendations were proposed and relevant guidelines were suggested for future researches.

Buddhists in Sri Lanka have a paramount right to make a contribution towards empowering Buddhism not even in the Sri Lankan context but also in the whole world. Thus in this process, English plays a crucial role in propagating Buddhism. So teaching English grammar is so important that it is the science which treats of words and 1 Instructor in English, Department of Languages, Faculty of Languages and Cultural Studies, Bhiksu University of Sri Lanka. 83 their correct use. The grammar of any language gains its prominence in language teaching, particularly English as a foreign language (EFL) and English as a second language (ESL) .That is, grammar is thought to furnish the basis for a set of language skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing, but for all that, the method of teaching grammar followed by many teachers is likely to be problematic and erroneous. One such is the wrong method of translation especially in Tenses. Most teachers use the method of translating each and every word of English into Sinhala and vice versa without considering the distinction that exists linguistically. So the result is that students are totally unable to grasp the real usages of many Tenses, and feel tenses such as Continuous , Perfect and Perfect Continuous can never be spoken and written. This problem is clearly evident in the Sri Lankan context and it directly affects the dissemination of Buddhism just because it can be propagated through a language mostly used in the world. So, a successful methodology of teaching English has always been a much debated topic in the Sri Lankan context; Therefore identifying the most suitable and successful techniques in teaching English is of paramount importance. In this case, fifty teachers of English teaching at National schools in the North Western province have been taken into consideration. Using this data collected, In the research paper ,I hope to inquire the mismatches found in the Translation Process that are considered drawbacks in propagating Buddhism, and also to present practical usages of Tenses in English.

Therefore, through the application of this research study is focused to improve the language skill level of the less privileged non urban school children. When understanding Buddhism the language is more important. To Understand and realize Buddhist philosophy people need a deep knowledge in his or her mother tongue because Buddhism is taught in Sinhala language in schools in Sri Lanka. This study was mainly focus on to improving basic Sinhala language skills of the students of grade 4 to grade 10 of Philhatha Maha Vidyayala ,7 Ela, Hasalaka in the Teldeniya education zone. A collaborative action research methodology was adopted in this study .This research was a collaborative effort by the two researches of University of Peradeniya and 17 newly recruited graduate teachers done as a reflective practice . Objectives of this study were to assess the current Sinhala language difficulties of the Buddhist students, to design remedial measures to overcome reading, speaking, writing and listening weaknesses with the teachers, to implement remedial measures and to evaluate success or otherwise on those measures with the teachers and to assess how the participation in the project affected the teacher‟s professional competencies. Data were collected through Written/Oral tests, Informal Discussions, Observations, Field books, Research journals and written documents. Results show clearly that students benefited from this invention in forms of word reading, word writing, letter writing, and expression of ideas gained specially through Concentrated Language Encounter (CLE) method were more effective in developing language skills of the weak students. Teachers felt that participation in the research 1 2 Senior Lecturer, Department of Education, Faculty of Arts, University of Peradeniya. Lecturer, Department of Education, Faculty of Arts, University of Peradeniya. 85 was a very positive experience, that their confidence of teaching increased and that they grew "professionally" .The teachers comments were inspiring. Both old traditional method(chalk & talk) and concentrated language encounter methodology provides a great deal of promising learning achievements and makes considerable contribution to improving child literacy. It was also revealed that a great benefit to the School Based Teacher Development (SBTD) programme and teacher‟s involvement in professional development activities such as this project is an important step in bringing professionalism to our field.

This has made information professional to choose a best LMS package, which is capable of meeting their different requirements. Therefore, the task of evaluating integrated library systems is necessary to select the most appropriate LMS packages that will satisfy the library automation and operational needs. There have been discussions amongst library professionals in Sri Lanka about utilizing expensive commercial LMS packages in individual libraries. However only a few people have understood the advantages of having an online island-wide integrated library information network. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a suitable and viable package 1 Senior Assistant Librarian, University of Peradeniya. 86 locally or purchase a better LMS package with strong post installation support and customization abilities. The main purpose of this comparative study of LMS packages is to provide some basic idea to libraries, which may be helpful for selecting suitable LMS package. Evaluation of library software is a complex and difficult process. The comparative study will be done by considering five aspects: 1. Hardware and software requirements 2. Intrinsic features of the software 3. Services and facilities: Core services, Enhanced services, Value added services 4. Customer Support Service 5.

In the modern societies „ageing‟ has caused lots of social issues, „geron-society‟ is one of them. A low birth rate and a rise in life expectancy are responsible for making the country a fast-ageing society. The advancement of modern medical science increases average 1 Visiting Professor, PGIPBS-University of Kelaniya 87 life-span. Nevertheless, the old people face fourfold suffering – illness, decrease of income, role-less role and solitude. Many surveys show that the old people who lead unhealthy lives in major part of their later years aggravating their plight with little savings and loosing social safety net are considered a problematic group and a burden to society. Therefore, the paramount purpose of this paper is to identify the above issue in the Sri Lankan context and propose solutions through the establishment of social safety net based on the Four Sublime Abodes in geron–society. Social safety net based on the Four Sublime Abodes – Mettā (loving-kindness), Karuṇā (compassion), Muditā (sympathetic joy) and Upekkhā (equanimity) should be established by the Sri Lankan Government and the society. Social services, infrastructure for old people, such as pension, long-term care system, proper medical care, job creation for the elderly, various educational and spiritual programs based on Four Sublime Abodes, etc. are to be provided by the government. The elderly should be treated with respect and affection, and wholesome rapport and active interaction between young and old generation should be maintained in order to share their knowledge, wisdom and experience beyond generation gap forming the basis for the Social Safety Net in geron-society. Keywords: geron-society, social Safety net, the four sublime abodes, fourfold sufferings 88 BUSL-NC-2013- 050 Nj ksfrdaO ud¾.h ms<sn| f:rjdo ú.%yh wlaóuk Oïumd, ysñ1 nqÿ iuhg wkqj i;a;ajhdf.a iir meje;au b;d ixlS¾K ;;a;ajhls' fuu ixlS¾k ;;ajh fmr wmr foÈ. fndfyda W.;=kaf.a úu¾Ykhg Ndckh ù we;;a tA ms<sn| ksjeros w¾: l:khla f:rjdo iïm%Þh ;=<ska o úu¾Ykhg ,laj we;af;a b;d w,am jYfhks' tA wkqj fuu m¾fhaIKfha§ wfmalaId lrkqfha Nj ksfrdaOh ms<sn| f:rjdo iïm%Þfha ú.%y lrkq ,nk idïm%Þhsl úu¾Ykhhs' úfYaIfhkau Nj ksfrdaOh i|yd mqoa.,hd úuqla;s ud¾.hg wkq.; ùfïÈ wksjd¾fhkau neyer l<hq;= Nj.dñ flf,ia w;r oi ixfhdack m%uqL;ajfhys,d olajd we;' fuu oi ixfhdack l%ufhka fhda.dNHdi u.ska hgm;a lsÍu nqÿ iuh my<ùug fmr úúO wd.ñl msßia olajd we;;a Bg nqÿ iuh olajd we;s m%;spdrh iqúfYaIs fõ ' nqÿ iuhg wkqj fuu oi ixfhdack l%ufhka hgm;a lsÍfï§ ukfia úúO wdOHd;añl ;< ÈhqKq fldg .;yels wdldrh olajd we;;a tys§ isf;a isÿjk l%shdldß;ajh yd mßj¾;kh idlÉPdjg ,lafldg we;af;a w,am jYfhks' ksoiqkla f,i iu: Ndjkdj j¾Okh lsÍfï§ tla wxYhlska mqoa., uki flf,iaj,ska l%ufhka neyer jk w;r ;j;a wxYhlska mqoa.,hd l%ufhka ksjka ud¾.hg ióm fõ' tA wkqj l%ufhka fuf,i isf;ys isÿjk l%shdÞuh ud¾.M,djfndaOh olajd .uka lrkq ,nhs' fuu m¾fhaIKfh§ wfmalaId lrkqfha oi ixfhdack m%ySKh jk úúO wjia:d ;=< mqoa., ukfia isÿjk mßj¾;kh mÍlaId lsÍuh' m%uqL mo# nqÿ iuh" mqoa.,hd" úuqla;sh" oi ixfhdack" úuqla;sh 1 fcHIaG lÓldpd¾h" fn!oaO yd md,s wOHhk wxYh" Y%S ,xld NslaIq úYajúoHd,h" wkqrdOmqr' 89 BUSL-NC-2013- 051 uq,a nqÿiufha i;aNdjfõoh fN!;sljd§ o@ iqfïO ùrj¾Ok1 ´kEu mßmQ¾K od¾Yksl moaO;shl oelsh yels uQ,sl wx.hla jkafka th zmeje;auZ" zh:d¾:hZ fyj;a zi;a;djZ ms<sn| ú.%yhlska tkï i;aNdjfõohlska iukaú; ùu h' fndfyda ngysr od¾Yksl moaO;sj, olakg ,efnk wdldrfha" ta ta Wm úIhhka .ek flreKq j¾.SlrK iy ú.%yhka uq,a nqÿiuh ;=< olakg fkd,enqk o uq,a nqÿiuh o mßmQ¾K od¾Yksl moaO;shls' jhs' lreKdodi uydpd¾h;=ud yd mQcH fldiaj;af;a wßhúu, iajdñkajykafia hk úoaj;=ka fom, úiska uq,a nqÿiuh fN!;sljd§ i;aNdjfõohlska hq;= oyula f,i jgyd f.k we;' m%lg i;aNdjfõ§ od¾Yksl ia:djrhla jk fN!;sljdofhka lshefjkafka øjHh" ukiska ndysr j tkï jdia;úl j mj;sk nj h¦ tkï øjHh mrud¾: jYfhka mj;sk nj h' ;jo øjHh m%d:ñl jk w;r uki oaú;Shsl fõ' tfukau uki u.ska øjHh ms<sìUq flf¾' uq,a nqÿiuh wkd;au oyula bÈßm;a lrhs' wk;a; ia:djrh ikd: lsÍu i|yd uq,a nqÿiqufha Ndú; l%ufõo y;rla y÷kd .; yels h' uq,a nqÿiuhg wkqj ukfia ks¾udKhla fkdjk tkï jdia;úl lsisjla ;sìh yels fkdfõ' tkï ish,a, ukig idfmaCIl ks¾udKhka h' tneúka ukiska iajdh;a; j mj;sk jdia;úl h:d¾:hla we;ehs uq,a nqÿiuhg wkqj mejish fkdyelsh' fojk l%ufõoh jkafka ish,a, wks;H f,i oelaùu hs' lsisjla ks;H fkdjkafka kï ukiska ndysrj mj;sk h:d¾:hla ;sìh fkdyels h' uq,a nqÿiuhg wkqj kdu-rEm ish,a, máÉp iuqmamkak h' hula máÉpiuqmamkakfõ o th Y+kH fõ' fjk;a wdldrhlska mjikafka kï hula máÉpiuqmamkak fõ o th jdia;úl jYfhka mj;skafka hehs mejish fkdyels h' ulaksid o h;a Y=kH jk fyhsks' máÉpiuqmamdoh iy Y=kH weiqßka wk;a; ia:djrh oelaùu f;jk l%ufõoh fõ' isõjeks l%ufõoh jkafka úNckh fyj;a úYAf,aIKh weiqßka mrud¾: jQ i;a;djl meje;au neyer lsÍu h' by; lS isõfjks l%ufõoh u.ska mqoa., ffkrd;auh muKla idOkh l< yels jk w;r O¾u ffkrd;auh oelaùu i|yd tkï ialkaO" wdh;k" Od;= mrud¾: jYfhka fkdue;s nj oelaùu i|yd by; lS fojk l%ufõoh jk wks;H weiqßka wkd;au nj oelaùfï l%ufõoh md,s iQ;% idys;H ;=< Ndú; lr we;' 1 lÓldpd¾h" o¾Yk yd ufkdaúoHd fomd¾;fïka;=j"Ydia;% mSGh" fmardfoKs úYajúoHd,h" fmardfoKsh' 90 fï wkqj uq,a nqÿiuh" ukiska ndysrj mj;sk i;a;djl meje;au neyer lrk nj meyeÈ,s jk fyhska th fN!;sljd§ i;aNdjfõ§ ia:djrhla boßm;a lrkafkah hkak idjoH Wml,amkhls' ;jo uq,a nqÿiufha od¾Yksl ia:djrh fN!;sljdohla f,i ye¢kaùu" uq,a nqÿiuh ksjerÈ fkdjk f,i újrKh lsÍula f,i o ye¢kaúh yels h' tfy;a thska uq,a nqÿiufha ia:djrh ú{dkjdohla hehs fkdlshefõ' uq,a nqÿoyu idrjd§ mod¾:hla ms<s.kq ,nk lsisÿ jdohla bÈßm;a fkdlrhs' th uq,a nqÿiuh wfkl=;a ish¨ od¾Yksl u;jdoj,ska iqúfYaIS f,i fjkiajk uQ,sl ,CIKhla f,i y÷kd.; yelsh' m%uqL mo - uq,a nqÿiuh" i;aNdjfõoh" fN!;sljdoh" wk;a;" máÉpiuqmamdoh" Y=kH" wks;H" úNckh" ukig idfmaCIùu BUSL-NC-2013- 052 Paṭiccasamuppāda Saddena Ke Dhammā Gahetabbā Hasantha Wasana Samarasinghe1 Paṭiccasamuppādasaddhena kiṃ vāceti ?, ke dhammā gahetabbā ? iti panḍitavarānamantare kālantarato paṭṭhāya sañjātavādaṃ dissate.

Dr. Kadawathgama Piyarathana1 It is recorded that the origin of Greek ethics can be seen in the treaties of west and it seems a strong relationship of the ethical terminologies in field of ethics in Greek language. Further, the fields of ethics have been mostly discussed by the Greek Philosophers and their discourses are highly related to the theistic teachings. This research will examine the place of Greek ethics and the relationship of it in the face of theistic teaching. The other matter of this research is to examine, what is the oldest philosophy either Eastern philosophy or Western Philosophy. As my concern, the Eastern philosophy is older than western philosophy. Therefore, this research will examine the role of ethics in the context of Eastern and Western philosophy.

In the contemporary context animal are being cloned for various reasons. Those who support cloning argue that the environment can be benefited from cloning. There is no doubt that as human beings we are benefited from gene science. These advantages sometimes may lead us to extremisms. Therefore some controversies had been aroused due to the process of cloning. For instance; such issues as how far cloning should be applied? ethical barriers in cloning, religious consciousness and cloning, should humans be cloned? Are being hotly debated. In order to clarify these issues there should be proper discussions among scholars. By presenting this paper titled 'cloning and ethics: a Buddhist Philosophical Approach' my aim is to inquire into a possible Buddhist approach to cloning. As a social philosophy Buddhism always responds to social matters. Then can Buddhism agree with cloning animals as well as plants? According to Buddhist moral philosophy is cloning compatible with the true development of society? Can Buddhism justify human cloning? Does cloning maintain the balance of the environment? These controversial positions will be taken into consideration in my presentation. 1 Head,Department of Religious Studies and Comparative Philosophy, Buddhist and Pali, University of Sri Lanka, Homagama. 100 Cloning has become a controversial issue due to some religious and ethical concerns. Ethical and moral issues are discussed both in religion and philosophy. Buddhism has been identified as a religion as well as a philosophy. Buddhism seems always to encourage human beings to develop both secular and inner dimensions of the society. Therefore cloning as a secular phenomenon has been applied for social and economic development. Accordingly it is timely to discuss the matters of cloning especially in a Buddhist perspective. In my presentation I hope to analyze Buddhist ethical and philosophical teachings on cloning in the context of the contemporary debate on cloning.

Chamila Siriwardene2 Students are faced with many instances that result in feelings of anger, frustration, and humiliation. These feelings often result in students reacting aggressively. The most commonly accepted cause for aggressive behavior is victimization of students in school settings and identified that the teachers, administrators, and other school personnel consistently use aggressive behavior toward students in the name of discipline, and students learn that it is acceptable to hit others when one is upset or angry. Aggressiveness is the most serious of inappropriate behaviors and has the most serious consequences for both the student and the environment. Violent and bullying 1 Social Development Policy, Research and Publication Division, National Institute of Social Development. 2 Social Development Policy, Research and Publication Division, National Institute of Social Development. 101 behavior are specific types of aggressive behavior that result in similar outcomes or functions of aggressive behavior. However, aggressive behavior is either to injure another, to gain something for the aggressor, or to produce both injury and extraneous gains. Student's behavior and interaction with the social environment and with their with their student's families, colleagues maintain the aggressive the behaviors occur in stages and also this behaviors of one stage will result in certain predictable reactions from the social environment and it is lead to further actions from the student. Aggressiveness is common among students who studied at the schools and their aggressive behaviours directly or indirectly pave the way to violence. Therefore aggressiveness has become a social and psychological problem in Sri Lanka. Student of ages between 10 to 18 are trying to show their emotions using aggressive behaviours and therefore they become instrumental in producing „Intra and Inter personal conflict as well. The behaviour and attitudes of family, social, cultural and religious perspectives are caused to increase the aggressiveness among student at the school.

According to moral philosophers, the root cause of discrimination, which hinders harmonious living in a poly-ethnic multitude, is self-esteem and contempt of others. Psychologist Daniel Goleman discussing the gulf between „Us‟ and „Them‟, says that “it is the silencing of empathy” (Goleman, 2006, p. 299) that generates this gulf. As a solution; politicians, economists, educationists and even entrepreneurs see the importance of empathy: “the drive to identify another person‟s emotions and thoughts, and to respond to them with an appropriate emotion” (Baron-Cohen, 2004, p. 2). Therefore, empathy is regarded as a means by which every individual receives the respect that they deserve in terms of their nationality, culture and religion. Attūpəmā: “self-comparison”, in the Buddhist doctrine gives a solid base for this idea. Attūpəmā can be literally translated as “self-comparison,” which is taken to mean comparing oneself against “another self”. Self-comparison invites the individual to put oneself in to another‟s position and refrain from inflicting on the other individual what he/she does not like to be inflicted on him/herself (Samyutta Nikaya, 18841904.; "The word of the doctrine (Dhammapada)," 1997). „Attūpəmā‟ also emphasizes how violence can be reduced replacing egoism with altruism. Placing oneself in another‟s position clearly means narrowing the chasm between “Us” and “Them”. From this perspective, notion of empathy can be found well situated within the Buddhist moral teaching of Attūpəmā. This paper investigates empathy‟s potential to promote harmonious co-existence from the Buddhist perspective of Attūpəmā.

M. Rathnasiri1 Cognitive, Behavioral and Psychotherapeutic methods can be noticed in the Tipiṭaka, Commentaries, sub-commentaries and later commentarial compositions. The prime objective of this paper is to point out the cognitive, behavioral and psychotherapeutic analyses, approaches and methods in Theravāda Buddhism for the suppression and the elimination of problematic mental states and behavior in the process of mental development. Major Analysis of Problematic States of Mind and Behavior: All the mental disorders and problematic behaviors are basically caused by the noxious trio – greed, hatred and delusion. Such problematic states of mind and behavior can be seen to have internal and external causes.

Ilukewela Dhammarathana Thero1 The statement found in Aṅguttara Nikāya, pabassaraṃ idaṃ bhikkhave cittaṃ . . . explains the nature of pure mind. Defining the term 'pabassara-citta' its commentary suggests that it is 'bhavaṅga'. When the characteristics of bhavaïga are taken into consideration with reference to the Ābhidhammic manner, it is a kusala vipāka citta. However, after cuti-citta, whether kusala-vipāka-citta or akusala-vipāka-citta could arise and it becomes the paṭisandhi-citta. The next citta following paṭisandhi-citta is bhavaṅga. Therefore, the complication arises when accepting the bhavaṅga as kusalacitta. 1 Probationary Lecturer, Department of Buddhist Philosophy, Buddhist & Pali University of Sri Lanka. 106 Two great scholars had paid their attention to this controversy and suggest two different views. Professor Dharmanand Kosambi explains that in Theravāda Abhidhamma the akusala-vipāka-citta is considered ahetuka because the akusalamūlas do not strengthen each other. Professor Padmanabh S Jaini suggests that such a discrimination is to be found in the Theravāda because of the interpretation of pabassara-citta as bhavaṅga-citta. Further, he states that a pabassara-citta can have the kusala-mūlas but cannot possess the akusala-mūlas and hence formulated a rule that the akusala-vipāka-citta is ahetuka. The pabassara-citta is not explained in Sutta Pitaka as belonging to the Arahants and it is the mind of the world-lings. Usually, the world-ling's mind follows the ten fetters that should be eradicated. Therefore, the purpose of the research is to suggest that the bhavaṅga is the state where no defilements are attached and hence it is the pabassaracitta.

Scientists look at such things as burning of coal and oil, deforestation, and agricultural activities. From the evidence that has been gathered over many decades of study, scientists have concluded that human activities are responsible for changing the Earth‟s climate. This change has already started, and will become much more dramatic in coming years. Global Warming is a controversial issue, and there are many politicians and media personalities who remain disbelieving. However, a 2009 survey showed that over 97% of actively publishing climate scientists agree that human activity is a significant contributing factor for global climate change. Global Warming has been permitted in joint statements by the world‟s major scientific academies and organizations, while there are no scientific bodies of national or international standing that currently face the Global Warming theory. Buddhists have a deep respect for life. The doctrine of harmlessness is the essence of Buddhist ethics. We have always acknowledged our affinity with the natural world, and see humans as just one form of a „sentient being‟. We are intrinsically no different to the other beings who we share this planet with, since all can feel pain and suffering, and all have the potential to achieve Awakening. This is why the issue of climate change is a deeply moral one. As Buddhists, we learn to realize that human activity is connected to the causes and effects of global climate change. With belief in karma, we look at our actions and the intent of our actions. We should necessarily consider how we affect our environment and need to account for what we do. We realize when we‟re careless and unconcerned about others, whether sentient beings or natural resources, we will ultimately face consequences somehow.

Kalalpitiye sumanasiri1 This research question is whether Keith Barry's brain magic is related to proves an aspect of mental power recognized in Buddhism and my hypothesis is that his ability gives sufficient supporting evidences in favour of the concept of to prove cetopariya taught in Buddhism. It is a comparative study and an attempt try to motivate people to engage in this area of study. Keith Patrick Barry is an Irish magician, a psychological illusionist and hypnotist who possesses special and uncanny ability to hack into the human brain, controlling and manipulating thoughts, hidden within your brainwaves. What he does is called as „brain magic 'but the actual point is that Keith Barry can hack your mind using psychological techniques. This is where you see the first difference between magic and what Barry does. Today various kinds of experts like magicians and psychologists are taking into account concerning Barry's ability and they have been unable to give a complete explanation regarding definition to Barry's method. What Barry does using his special mind power reminds us about "cetopariya" in Buddhism. Cetopariya (the power of discernment of the mind of others) is one of the powers of abhińńā or called as "super cognitive wisdom or supernatural power". in English. In Buddhist literature, we can find see many kinds of incidents instances in which the Buddha and his followers use cetopariya in the same way as of Keith Barry is supposed to use it and more. If this is a fact then we cannot keep away Barry's ability as merely only just a psychological technique. It is probably a result of mental development and could be taken as a good evidence to discuss on in support of the mental power believed to have been used by the Buddha and his followers. In this research, I wish to point out the ever value of validity of higher mental powers recognized in Buddhism in comparison with practical examples from those attributed too of Keith Barry.

Famous quotations from the Sutta Pitaka (Assalāyana, Madhura (M.N.) Vasala, Parābhava (S.Nipāta), (DP) support the views that the Buddha is against any sort of such social divisions and instead he was upholding equality of all human beings. However, contrary to that attitude and notion, we find numerous literature references in which Buddhism seems to entertain a kind of division in the society. It is reported that the Bodhisatta investigated five conditions (Pañca Vilokana: Kāla, Dīpa, Desa, Kula, Mātā,) before his descended from Tusita heaven to the earth. According to Mahāpadāna Sutta all the Buddhas are to be born in a very selective specific caste not in any caste. For Culakammavibhanga Sutta human beings with the characteristics of obstinate and arrogance will get a low-birth. Jātaka stories can be identified as full of such beliefs and teachings. It is expected to investigate why two positions which seems contradictory to each other are in Buddhism. The key questions expected to focus in this research are: can we consider the latter position as newly added interpolation to Theravada tradition? Under what rationale does Buddhism both support and negate the caste system simultaneously?

Kirama Wimalatissa1 The main purpose of Buddhist Meditation is to purify mind from mental defilements but at present, researchers have found that mediation can be applied in a wide range of psychological & physical applications. Researchers at Harvard and Yale have proved the very first evidence that meditation can alter the physical structure of our brains. This being so, meditation yields a surprising number of health benefits, including stress reduction, improved attention, better memory, reduction of heart diseases and blood pressure, even increased creativity and feelings of compassion. At present, Buddhist monks and meditation instructors of Sri Lanka maintain a traditional set of meditation retreats but they do not pay much attention on mediation as a art of living. Furthermore, some Buddhist meditation instructors give advice to develop superhuman qualities rather than prioritizing the empirical truth that any practitioner can experience in their day-to-day life, sometimes, even neglecting Buddhist teachings. Therefore, they tend to think that meditation is far away from human experience. As a result, they fail to gain a significant number of health benefits in the level of whatsoever other researchers (mostly who are non-Buddhists) gain through meditation practice. If we can combine our knowledge of Buddhist meditation with modern scientific investigations within Sri Lanka, meditation practitioners will be attracted to the pragmatic Buddhist path and practice while being benefited from its results here and now in great numbers than ever before. This research sheds the light on the re-direction that can be taken by monotonous meditation practitioners and instructors to improve the quality of their practice with the aid of new discoveries.

In this process four status groups are involved in the religious activities in a dual opposition way of achievements. The four communities of the Buddha‟s disciples, 1.Bikkhu (monks) 2. Bikkhu ies (nons) 3.Up sakas (laymen) 3. Up sik s (laywomen) These four groups are present in Buddha sasana and represent two forms of dual organizations, that are existing in a hierarchical way while activities are operating in dual opposition way. The Bikkhus and Bikkhunies are representing the spiritual world. Their status are superior than Up sakas and Up sik s, and their cultural status are progressively moving towards the ryan status. Further, these two groups are at the top of the social hierarchy. On the other hand laymen or Up sakas or Up sik s represent mode of production for the benefit of the society. Both parties are dependent on each other as dual opposition groups in the society. The main objective of this research paper is to examine the hierarchical relations in the Buddhist society with dual opposition activities. 1 Senior Lecturer, Department of Sociology, University of Peradeniya. 120 In the Buddhist Society, the above mentioned four groups are highly dependent on each other and at the same time their social statuses are completely dual opposites according to the social classification. Status wise Up sakas and Up sik s have a social position below the Bikkhus position and the Bikkhunies position. According to that, the Buddha sasana is a common word that includes four dual opposition groups organized in a hierarchical way. The following dual opposites sets of words show the hierarchical relationship on sacred and profane levels. Sacred Bikkhu( pavidi) Bikkhuni Pansala(temple) Sangeeka(collective) Nibbanagami Sukha Brahmachari Spiritual Detachment Profane Upasaka(gahapathi) Upasika Geya, gruhe Individual Sansaragami Dukkha Abbrhmachri Material Attachment In the dual opposite order, the left side order is superior to right side order. The left side order is sacred while right side order is profane and worldly. The study discloses the Buddha sasana in the Buddhist culture that includes two orders namely sangasasanaya and gihisasanaya‟ both are mutually integrated in a hierarchical form with a dual opposition.

And also proves Arhat Mahinda and Buddhist missionaries arrival. In both instances the spiritual power has been used. Some scholars, including Senarath Paranavithana did not agree to accept the spiritual power used by those missionaries. Both these incidents definitely help to improve the Theravada Buddhism in Sri Lanka. Some scholars, who expressed their ideas according to the archaeological theory, did not accept the spiritual ability of Buddhist missionaries had, and the arrival of them described as normal way of visiting by vessels. Archaeological evidences itself proves that the spiritual ability of Arhath Mahinda and others. Early Brahmi Inscriptions in Sri Lanka and some Asokan inscriptions in India clearly provide enough facts to prove this incident. In This research it has been proved that the arrival of them by using spiritual power is true. Most materialists 1 Probationary Lecturer, Department of Social Sciences and comparative studies, Bhiksu University of Sri Lanka, Anuradhapura. 124 refuse super spiritual powers. Therefore they refuse to accept the spiritual powers, appeared in the historical incidences. In this research the attention is been paid for the materialism which is been used to deny the spiritual ability of Buddhist missionaries had and the new trends of Theravada Buddhism and the truth of these historical evidences that are been investigated in favour to empower it.

Nivitigala Sumitta1 The world today is in a fast moving track. Just as the world has shifted from the bullock carts to the bullet trains, from the foot path to the highways, so are the revolutionary changes taken place in the life patterns and the mindset of Mankind. Technological advancements surely have done lot of goods to make our life easier and much more comfortable. Nevertheless, it has also caused extensive damages to Man both mentally and physically. In the backdrop of this scenario, the current research will investigate as to how the life of the modern day Buddhist monks has undergone changes in different shades. Attention will be paid to the young student monks who represent the modern generation and how the modern technological equipment such as television, mobile phone, tab, iPod etc. has changed their life style for the better or for the worse. This study will be predominantly based on field research such as questionnaires, interviews, discussions etc. along with some reference to internet and other sources for conceptual purpose.

Boliyadde Dhammakusala1 Sri Lanka is highly regarded as a country of the pure Theravada Buddhism, which is based on the Pali canonical texts. The final goal of this tradition is Nibbana which is the status of understanding the Four Noble Truths. Even though this tradition emphasizes Nibbana as their final goal, there are ceremonies, rituals and devotional practices which are not direct route to Nibbana. But those devotional practices of Buddhism are also paramount importance to gain spiritual development. Among these practices in Sri Lankan, Pirit-chanting is a very popular ceremony of Buddhist populace. The pirith ceremony consists in the ritualistic chanting of certain Suttas selected from the Pali canonical texts. These Suttas have been collected and arranged in Pirit-Pota (Piruvana pothvahanse). It contains 24 Suttas, including such Suttas 1 Probationary Lecturer, Department of Language, Bhiksu University of Sri Lanka, Anuradhapura. 137 as the Ratana Sutta, Mangala Sutta, Metta Sutta, Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta, Atanatiya Sutta, etc. Pirith is the Sinhala word for paritta in Pali. In Sanskrit it is called Parittrana.The term paritta implies it means a safety rune or protection. It means the protection from danger (vipatti pati ba haya), or the evil influence of this planets, etc. Not only protection but also pirith is chanted to achieve the success (sabba sampatti siddhiya). Thus, Pirith is now regarded as a safeguard against fear and malady. However, the pirith-chanting ceremony in Sri Lankan evolved and practiced over the centuries, it seems that this devotional approach to the Dhamma has its roots during the time of the Buddha. Especially, Sri Lankan Buddhist populace considers that the important function of their domestic and social life would not be completed without pirith chanting. But today we can study that there are new trends and changers of this ceremony. The purpose of this research is to study the pirit chanting ceremony and focused the attention on finding its new trends and changers. This survey will demonstrate the gradual development of this devotional ceremony and how it helps to survive Buddhism at the popular level.

Nishadini Peiris1 The word counselling is mostly associated with modern western counselling, even though there are many counselling approaches in the world. One could observe that the approaches to counselling in Buddhism are different from that of western counselling.. Main purpose of this research paper is to identify the similarities as well as differences in the approaches of these two systems of counselling. Documentary study is the method used for data collection and the data have been analysed using the qualitative approach. At the beginning of the twentieth century because of the radical changes, that occurred in the western world due to industrial and scientific development, the adoption of a new type of counselling approach was needed. Modern counselling is an outcome of that process. As many researchers were interested in the area, deferent types of counselling approaches emerged. An attempt was made by them to confirm the hypotheses they proposed using the scientific method, which is based on 1 Senior Lecturer, Department of Public Administration, Uva Wellassa University, Badulla. 144 experimentation and empirical observation. It is to be noted that there are similarities as well as differences among the theories that emerged as a result of this process. Buddhist counselling approach which is based on the Four Noble Truths, mainly focuses attention on understanding the real reason for the occurrence of emotional and psychological problems. Therefore, it analyses the concept of person in great detail. As a result a more complete analysis of the concept of person can be found in Buddhist literature. When modern and Buddhist counselling approaches are compared the only similarity that can be identified is that both are dealing with emotional and Psychological problems through verbal communication. The following principal differences can also be identifiedFor Buddhist counselling, the relationship between the counsellor and one who receives counselling is one of friendship focusing attention on the root cause of the problem, while according to the modern approach it as a professional relationship and focusing attention on the external aspects of the problem. Modern theories focus on the external aspects in their investigation while Buddhism focuses on the internal aspects consisting of self-discovery. Modern approaches are Based on Eternalism or Annihilationism while the Buddhist approach is based on the Middle Path. Keywords: eternalism, annihilationism, middle path, self-discovery, emotional and psychological problems 145 BUSL-NC-2013- 100 Treatment of Sexual Jealousy in Othello and Jātaka Stories and Overpowering the Emotion through Insights in Theravada Buddhism Ven. Pusselle Wineetha1 Both Buddhism and Christianity give serious consideration to jealousy as a psychological condition that leads to the destruction of mankind. From a Christian perspective, William Shakespeare depicts sexual jealousy, as one of its forms in the drama “Othello”. The drama shows the destructive nature of the emotion showing the suffering of the innocent like Desdemona as well as the serious victims of it like Othello, Iago and Roderigo. Obsessed with sexual jealousy Othello, the most serious victim in the play murders his beloved wife easily forgetting their love and finally commits suicide suggesting that the western culture teaches no solution other than killing suicide or another temporary solution to overcome this emotion. Not only in the West but also in the modern Sri Lankan society a marked vulnerability to these unhealthy emotions can be seen as most of people are easily carried away by these feelings creating a menace both in their family and the society. These emotions can be clearly discussed under the kilesas explained in Theravada Buddhism and the deviation of the modern Sri Lankan society from Theravada Buddhism can be pointed out as a reason for this calamity. Thus, this study attempts to introduce methods to overcome this universally experienced emotion making use of insights provided in Theravada Buddhism. Named as issā or usūyā in Pali, Buddhism identifies it as a negative emotion that distracts an individual from the ultimate goal of Nibbana. It has been discussed in a number of discourses and Jātaka Stories. Many ways of overcoming the emotion such as inculcating healthy emotions like mettā, karuṇā etc., to counteract this negative emotion and other negative emotions like hatred and suspicion that are closely associated with sexual jealousy have been proposed. Thus, the current study 1 Buddhist and Pali University of Sri Lanka 146 compares the treatment of sexual jealousy in Othello and Buddhist Jātaka stories and discusses ways to deal with this emotion according to Theravada Buddhism drawing a sharp contrast with the approach of Shakespeare. Keywords: sexual jealousy, Othello, Jātaka stories, Theravada Buddhism BUSL-NC-2013- 101 A Buddhist Challenge to Personality Tests in Western Psychology Ven. Aththaragoda Piyadhamma.1 A personality test is a standard instrument that is used to measure psychological makeup of a person. Hermon Rosharch has introduced the first personality test in western psychology in 1921 and since then the field and usage of personality tests have been developed by various psychologists worldwide. Primarily, there are two types of personality tests in western psychology such as, 1. Objective tests 2. Projective tests Objective tests are considered as more effective than Projective tests and they are used to select, promote and also to develop personalities for various disciplines. The Buddhist perspective on personality measurement is quite different from personality tests of western psychology. Buddhism focuses on a complete comprehension of a person rather than a superficial understanding. Buddhism describes how to measure one's personality in a particular way. Buddhism basically emphasizes that nationality, religion, colour, race, gender or whatever else does not make a person unique. Therefore identifying one's personality is much difficult and 1 Temporary Lecturer, Department of Social Science and Comparative Study, Sri Lanka Bhiksu University, Anuradhapura¡ 147 should be done carefully. Accordingly, a person must identify one's personality in terms of a long term relationship, concentration and wisdom. Specially, the Load Buddha has introduced a criterion that helps for a better understanding of a person in Satta Jatila Sutta. (1) It is through living together with another, that one's virtue is to be known, and even that is after a long time, not after a short time; by one who is attentive, not by one inattentive; by the wise, not a dullard. (2) It is through dealing with another, that one's honesty is to be known, and even that is after a long time, not after a short time; by one who is attentive, not by one inattentive; by the wise, not a dullard. (3) It is through adversities, that one‟s courage is to be known, and even that is after a long time, not after a short time; by one who is attentive, not by one inattentive; by the wise, not a dullard. (4) It is through discussing with another, that one's wisdom is to be known, and even that is after a long time, not after a short time; by one who is attentive, not by one in attentive; by the wise, not a dullard.” Details obtained by means of a personality test in western psychology have a risk of misleading one‟s judgment. A person subjected to a test can provide fake information as he is aware that he is being observed. As a result of this the test taker might behave artificially. Those are the major weaknesses of personality tests in western psychology. Finally, it can be concluded that the means adopted in Buddhism for personality measurement, although they are life-long and continual, are more acceptable than those in western psychology.

Kirimetiyawe Dhammasiri1 With the beginning of life in the womb of the mother it becomes subject to old age disease and sickness. Sickness is the worst mental and physical suffering in this word and it is an unavoidable situation in life. When a person is overcome by sickness his or her mental and physical ability becomes weak. At a time somebody becomes a sick person he should receive kind and gentle treatment throughout from someone who attends upon him. When we go through the canonical teachings of the Buddha, it is possible to find out many stories which are related to sick people. According to the Vinaya Pitaka, the Buddha promulgated a particular rule for monks. If a monk neglects the duty of treating a sick monk he is guilty of the transgression of Dukkata-Apatti (minor Vinaya rule). As it is illustrated in Anguttara Nikaya Gilana Sutta, the sick person should receive three types of treatment in order to recover. According to the Suttas, suitable food, suitable medicine and proper nursing are necessary factors for the recovery from sickness. Apart from those factors the nursing person must know the way of preparing medicine in a proper way, taking care of patient and providing things that are suitable. He should also have the ability to clean up puss, mucus and urine etc. The nurse should be motivated by compassion and not by material gain. It is clear that almost all these treating methods are related to the enhancement of the physical ability of patient. This research will focus attention on finding out Buddhist counseling techniques for the enhancement of mental ability of sick persons. When Venerable Sariputta visited a Brahmin who was on the verge of death, Venerable Sariputta instructed him to develop the four kinds of sublime thought, sympathy, compassion, sympathetic joy and equanimity. As indicated above his research expects to discuss counseling for sick people and explain the Buddhist way of counseling sick people in order to enhance their mental and physical ability at the time of sickness.
