I too got a what's app msg about this topic, using elephants for perahara. Most of the time this type of msgs comes from none Buddhists . I have a question to ask these people , don't they see the horses in the Buckingham palace , horse races , bullfights in Spain? If that's the case,first these animal right fighters should close all the pet shops .Close all the meat shops as well. I can remember the late Raja elephant how happy and proud to take the karaduwa. I wonder whether there is a group, who want to stop perahara . Although I am against ill treating or abusing animals. I believe people can continue this while taking care of them properly. Thank you Swamin wahansa for doing this. Theruwan Saranai🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Excellent lecture by Venerable Thero. Deep appreciation from an Indian Hindu. Sinhala Buddhists please rise for your civilization and fight for yourselves. Unless you will end up like Hindus in India, pathetic secondary citizens in your own country where your great civilization developed. Your civilization is centered around Mahabodhi in Anuradhapura and Damshtra Dhatu in Kandy, eradicating these historical facts will ruin your identity. Unnecessary Ahimsa was never a competent of Hindu/Vedic and Buddhists cultures.
