One of these fundamental principles is uplifting the lives of people. During this sacred Vesak season we hoped to uplift the spiritual lives of Buddhist devotees by handing out this booklet with religious verses that they can carry with them always. The program was very successful and the feedback from devotees was also very good.”
The company chose the area in close proximity to the DaladaMaligawa in Kandy for this project as a large number of devotees flock to the temple and surrounding areas during the Vesak season. The Kandy Lake also draws large crowds who go Vesak sightseeing during the season.
