Aluwiharaya Rock Cave Temple 🙏🌼

Aluwiharaya temple is a very important historical place that located in Matale District. The main significance of this is the glorification of the Tripitaka. That was around 89 BC. The Aluwiharaya Temple become world famous after the 5^th  Buddhist Council and the glorification of the Tripitaka for the first time in the world.

Last Saturday I went to Aluwiharaya with a friend. There I collected a number of photos of the amazing location among the large rock caves. Also, the roofs of Buddha image house were made of huge rocks. There were some places where large rocks were trapped by small boulders. They are really amazing.

The old stupa of the Aluwiharaya is located at a considerable height from the ground level. From there, the surroundings look very admirable. Riverstone and knuckles mountains can also be seen there.  The Aluwiharaya Temple holds an annual procession. It was started in July 1973. This procession which has been since then and it named “SANGAYANA MAHA PERAHARA”. During this procession, those who like to climb mountains climb the huge rocks in Aluwiharaya.

About five years ago, a huge Buddha statue created in the hill above the temple. I have not been to there yet but visitors say that from there can see many beautiful places in Matale. I’m also planning to go see there soon.

So, when you come to Matale don’t forget to visit the Aluwiharaya Temple.

Loving Parents👪

When we growing up our parents getting old. As I think that is the saddest thing for a child. Sometimes I thought why we grew up? If we were like kids, our parents would still be young and very healthy. We can play with them. Also they take us on their lap and will cradle us. That childhood was awesome. We only knew about our mother and father. Our whole world was in their lap. However that is something that will never happen in real life. We have to face reality. So, don’t waste your valuable time. Time is not just a thing, it will be a golden memory. Tell your parents to how much you love them. Stay with them whenever you can. Spend more time with your loving mother and father. Even we are older we are still we are still kids to our parents. Let them see it in you. My only wish is for our parents to be healthy and log lives. Let’s we pray triple gem bless for our loving parents.💖

My Best Buddy👭💝

I love this picture very much.
(2017)

When I was grade 09, a pretty girl came to the 9-D class from new. She had chosen music too. So, one day she joined us to go to the music room. In those days she was very innocent and she did not speak loudly. After few days we knew about each other’s and we became good friends. Her name is Anupama but we all say Anu. That’s her nickname. Anu is three months older than me. Her Birthday is 18^th of July. 

She lives with her parents and with her only sister. Anu is very beautiful and also, she has a beautiful long hair but she is shorter than me. She likes dogs and cats and she is very kind to all animals. Sometimes she is hot tempered but she gets normally few moments later also, Anu is very happy and talkative girl. When we were grade 12, we became best buddies. Both us chose art subjects to do A/L but she didn’t choose music. We participated in all the school work together and also, we went extra classes together. There are lot of flavors that happen in those things. They are too many to finish.

More than all of this, Anu was close to everything I had. She was with me all the time when I was missing lessons, when I had a problem, when I was in trouble and also, she helped me and it still is today. She likes a member of my family and I  her so much. As far as I know it is very difficult to find a good friend because a lot of people are opportunists and selfish.

Anu can cook well. I remember, when we in school she won an all-island essay competition and she received Rs.30000  as a gift. So, we told her to prepare a meal for us. Then the next day she made a chicken Deval, Chili paste with fried rice. Mmmm… I still remember that taste.  In those days, our teachers told her that she could be a writer because she could write so well. she write short stories, essays, poems and even scripts. Also, she can sing well. We have participated many music competitions when we in school. You know, my mom likes Anu more than me because she has won the heart of my familiars. Anu has been to our home many times. 

When there was no Sinhala teacher for her village school, she went to teach there. All those students passed Sinhala subject in O/L exam. This is how the students thank her. I'm so proud of Anu.

Now she is studding in the University of Peradeniya. Her ambition is to be a archaeologist. She works hard for it. The only grief we have is not being to study at the same university. I had to make up my mind because of the desire for my university. We meet whenever we can and going for a walk somewhere. My only wish for her is that Anu’s life be as successful as she wishes because she is a very good sister for me and I wish our friendship to forever be like this.💓

The visible blessing is Mom💖

No matter who leaves us in this world,

We are not alone until mom is there.

From the day we arrived to her womb,

She makes us part of her body.

From then she eats, drinks comfortably for us,

She walks, sleeps for comfortably to us.

From the day we born,

Mother always dedicated to us,

That love & affection comes to us for our lifetime.

She always stands with us until her breath falls.

The children who are blessed by the mother will never be in trouble

because that blessing protects them.

No matter how many people there are,

No matter how rich we are,

One day, we will be alone without our mother.

No one will be able to erase that lack of motherhood.

Always fill her with joy without making her sad.

One day you & me left with only memories with that beautiful smile of Mom.💖

My favorite actress.

 

Sai Pallavi

My favorite actress is Sai Pallavi. She was  born on 09^th May  Now she is 29 years old. She lives in Kotagiri in India. I love her curly long hair. It’s so wonderful and also her blushing face makes her look cute. She is an Indian Actress. She has acted in Telugu, Tamil And also Malayalam Films.  Before coming to the film industry Sai has won a reality show in dance. She can dance well and she is known as the dancing queen of South Indian cinema. Sai Pallavi also an educated girl. She has a MBBS degree in 2016 from Tbilisi State Medical University in Georgia.

Love Story(2021)

I have watched her all films. I never miss them. Some of her films are Dia, Padi Padi Leche Manasu, Fidaa, Kali, MCA, Premam etc. Every one of her films are so attractive but the one I like the most is the recently released Love Story movie. Naga Chaitanya act with her in this movie. This movie is a beautiful love story between a high-class family girl and a middle-class family boy. After watched this movie, it makes me cry. They act so sensitively.

She got film fare award for Fidaa & Premam

She is s recipient of several awards including two film fare awards for her performance in the films Premam and Fidaa. I think Dulquer Salman is the best person to act with Sai. It looked great in the Kali movie.

She is perfect with DD

I like the way she acts in every film and also, I like the way she dresses, styles her hair and puts on makeup. I think that’s the thin She has been my favorite actress. So now I’m waiting for her new movie to be released and I would love to meet her and talk. 

Nelligala International Buddhist Center

As I told you in the previous post, we arrived at the Nelligala Temple After Ambuluwawa. It is not only a temple, it also an International Buddhist Center in Sri Lanka. This place is really peaceful. Even if someone is in a trouble, if he goes and sits there, his mind will be healed. I can say that for sure.

When we got there, it was about 4 pm. There was a rainy sky with a little dew. So that surrounding brought a very clean feeling to my mind. There was a row of very beautiful Buddha statues and they are golden color. The stupa was also painted in gold color. To me it really felt like a heaven in there. Every design there create that feeling. They are really amazing.

Gold colored Stupa

The Saman Deva statue is a beautiful creation that will catch the eye of anyone who comes here. It depicts the god Saman on a  white elephant. The statue looks like it is in the sky. Also, the flowers, small ponds and varies plants are neatly arranged in there. It looks so beautiful.

God Saman Statue

 As soon as it rained, we left from there. There were several small boutiques below the temple. From them we bought some sweets and a few things to remember about our trip.

That is how our journey ended. When we arrived in Matale, it was around 7 pm. I had to listen to some complaints from home because I was late. However, a wonderful day ended with a lot of beautiful memories.
