On 2018 August 03rd there was a Buddhist sermon preached by Ven. Kukulpane Sudassi Thero at Nittambuwa which I participated in.
During the sermon, all the participants were provided with two Buddhism books free of charge to reading.
(01) Offering life (අභය දානය)
In this book, the monk who wrote this book has explained the real value of saving the life of another.
What is emphasized in the book is the approaches to saving the life of another living being. Saving lives of cattle or cows (since it has drastically increased in Sri Lanka) is highly emphasized in the book. The write depicts that saving nature and the environment is also a method of offering life.
(02) Reality of worshipping buddha (බුද්ධ පුජාවේ යථාර්තය)
The book, in summary, have emphasized on how to actually conduct the worshipping of the buddha.
It mainly tries to reflect on attempting to blend with nature and the environment and accordingly find inner peace.
The author of these two books is Ven. Kukulpane Sudassi Thero.
In 2018 September 09th at Ananda Mawatha, Gampaha venerable Ududumbara Kashyapa thero preached a Buddhist sermon that I was able to listen to.
During the event, all the participants were provided three (03) books.
(01) Giving up (Ath harima / අත් හැරීම) - Ven. Kukulpane Sudassi Thero
The concept of giving up worldly pleasures that are discussed in Buddhism is analyzed in this book.
(02) Worshipping of knowledge (Buddhi wandana / බුද්ධි වන්දනා) - No author.
This book have many errors with reference to Buddhism and knowledge.
(03) (i) Heart of Buddhism is meditation. / බුදු දහමේ හදවත භාවනාවයි.
(ii) Journey / ගමන
Mr. Senaka De Silva
The book is a new perception of Buddhism in a summary.
These five books have managed to analyze and explain Buddhism to the readers in a summarised manner.
