    National Buddhist Think Tank met yesterday (30th March) under the patronage of President Maithripala Sirisena at the Presidential Secretariat.

    At the meeting, it was revealed that there is a shortage of desks and chairs for the bhikkhu students.

    Furthermore, the discussions were held in detail regarding the organizing work of the International Vesak Day celebration to be held in May this year in Sri Lanka. The attention was also drawn to implement a program to preserve the Puskola Poth (ancient ola manuscripts) at Temples across the country.

     

    Preservation and the publishing on the internet of Buddha Jayanti Tripitaka Series, creating a method to provide employment opportunities to persons who pass Dharmacharya Examination, the issues arising when bhikkhus enter into Government service, the importance of implementing a policy on the education of the female monks, the necessity of a training Centre to train Piriven teachers and the establishment of Theravada Buddhism Centre in Sri Lanka were also discussed at the meeting.
