Tribute to a GREAT man


He's the Chief High Priest in Buddhism for Malaysia and Singapore, born in Sri Langka and moved to Malaysia in 1952, published numerous books about
Buddhism, done countless humanitarian charity work, a sweet old man, ever caring with a great sense of humour, a second father to my mom, a man i truly respect....

The reason i posted this is due to the fact that He had recently passed away in SJMC around about 1240pm on the 31st of August 2006. I am truly blessed to be able to pay my last respects to him by his bed 20 minutes before his passing.. i've been procrastinating from visiting him and i'm glad my mum made me visit him today..
Really don't know what to say... Rest in Peace... The world has lost a great man

R.I.P Venarable Dr. K Sri Dhammananda Nayake Maha Thera

Hi Nigel, it must be a real honour to be able to pay your respect to Ven Dr K Sri Dhammananda before his passing. I only managed to read his publications and view his VCDs. Let us preserve his legacy by continuing his good work and living nobly.
