We Go Sri Lanka!

[PredictablyMalicious]

..tell that to a sinhala and he will spit on your face.

No, a sinhala will not dare do that. As admitted by them, we North Indians are their baap (father)

 

[HEILTAMIL]

I noticed this quote in the article.



In fact there are enforceable international boundaries at sea.

there definitely are boundaries, fishermen do know it,

the dispute is about SL not validating the agreement which handed them the dispouted island

 

[HEILTAMIL]

Definitely not. I was merely pointing out to perspectives and perceptions.

For us Indians, all sinhala people might get generalized as murderous maniacs because of the act of a few, similarly, for them all tamils might get generalized as terrorists because of LTTE.

We humans love to generalize, don't we?

so comments like this are not really apt:
"how do you sleep at night? Don't you hear the screams of innocent tamil children"

Moreover prompt will come the retaliation: "what about the creams of innocent sinhalese children killed by LTTE"

It's not like SL army kills for fun, its because they believe their actions to righteous. Again, perspectives & perceptions.

@KS no offence to tamils, I was merely pointing out the other side of the logic.

may be the following might help you why they are happy to kill tamils in genereal,
oh! the previous editor of this newspaper was murdered as well for pointing out sanity!

In Sri Lanka the boundary line between myth and history is dangerously amorphous. And this twilight world often plays a decisive role in Lankan politics.
Sinhala school children are taught that they belong to a race which began when an Indian-Aryan princess eloped with a lion. They learn this tale not in the story-hour but during the history lesson.

The lion myth is from the Mahawamsa, venerated by most Sinhala-Buddhists as a history book cum sacred text. It is the grandson of the lion and the princess the Mahawamsa embraces as the originator of the Sinhala race. According to Mahawamsa itself, Vijaya 'was of evil conduct'; he and his followers committed so many crimes of such horrific nature that his father was eventually compelled to exile them'.

Vijaya's enforced sea-journey supposedly coincided with the death of the Gautama Buddha. According to Mahawamsa the Buddha, on his deathbed, told the Chief among deities, Sakka, "Vijaya, son of king Sihabahu, is come to Lanka"¦.. In Lanka, O lord of gods, will my religion be established; therefore carefully protect him with his followers and Lanka".

So the Mahawamsa created the myth of the 'Chosen race' with its 'sacred space'. This myth became the foundation for what I call the 'Hosts and Guests' concept of Lanka. According to this, the island belongs to Sinhala-Buddhists, who are its sole real owners. This 'sacred bequest' must be protected by whatever means necessary, including the use of violence.

In the teaching of Gautama Buddha there is no concept of holy war, no space for the use of force/violence in the protection of either the Dhamma or those who practice it.
Given the absolute taboo against the taking of any life in Buddhism, killing human beings to 'protect Buddhism' could not be justified without adding a major new chapter to Buddhist teaching. This is precisely what the author of Mahawamsa did by depicting the conflict between the Buddhist Dutugemunu and the Hindu Elara for political supremacy as a Sinless/Meritorious War.

Elara, according to Mahawamsa, was regarded by men and gods alike as a just ruler[ii]. He was no invader bent on rampage and pillage, no tyrant crushing the people under his royal feet, but a good man and a fair ruler. But Elara's admirable qualities were irrelevant and immaterial because he was an 'unbeliever'. Therefore he had to be deposed and killed, as an integral part of a divinely sanctioned enterprise to save Sinhala-Buddhism and its chosen country, Lanka, from enemy aliens.

Dutugemunu is the star of Mahawamsa, the hero-king of Sinhala Buddhism, the standard against which all subsequent rulers were measured. His life-story, as Mahawamsa narrates, contains the same combination of natural and supernatural, human and divine that passes off as history even in modern day Sri Lanka. He was said to have been conceived immaculately [iii] and with a divine mandate to restore Buddhist rule over the island. If the apocryphal tale of Buddha's Bequest provides the ideological basis of the Hosts and Guests concept, the Dutugemunu story details the manner in which 'guests' who violate the 'rules' should be dealt with.

Prince Gemunu's reply to his mother's query about his foetal sleeping posture identifies the problem as one of territory and Lebensraum: "Over there beyond the Ganga are the Damilas, here on this side is the Gotha-ocean, how can I lie with outstretched limbs?" The story of the three cravings of Queen Vihara Maha Devi, when pregnant with Prince Gemunu, identifies the enemy: "She craved to drink, while trampling on his very head, the water in which was washed the sword that beheaded the chief warrior among the Elara soldiers"¦. The queen informed the King and the Lord of the earth asked the soothsayers. Hearing it they said, 'The queen's son will vanquish the Damilas"¦'". The response of the Sangha to King Dutugemunu's anguish over enemy deaths introduces the concept of sinless/meritorious war: "By this act of yours there is no hindrance in the way to heaven"¦. only one and a half men were killed here. One was established in the refuge and the other only in the five precepts. The heretical and evil others who died were like animals"¦"

That was the moment Buddhism of Siddhartha Gautama was transformed into Sinhala-Buddhism, a new religion of the book, the Mahavamsa. The war against unbelievers was consecrated as sinless and meritorious; a straight path to heavenly bliss, akin to Crusades and Jihads. Not only was Dutugemunu reborn in the highest heaven, according to the Mahawamsa; he "will be the first disciple of the sublime Metteyya, the king's father (will be) his father and the mother his mother. The younger brother, Saddhatissa will be his second disciple, but Salirajakumara, the king's son will be the son of the sublime Metteyya". The Mahawamsa clinches the argument of the meritorious nature of waging war for Buddhism by demonstrating that it will benefit not just the holy warrior but his entire family.

The Mahawamsa was written around seven centuries after the Dutugemunu-Elara war, by a Buddhist monk with a political agenda. Even a passing knowledge of the teachings of Gautama Buddha would suffice to know that shedding all attachments is a sine-qua-non for the attaining of Arhathood. A man or woman with attachments, however understandable or justifiable, is bound to the samsara by those very bonds. Those who have attained Arhathood have no attachments, including to country, race or religion. Nor can they condone any killing. The claim by Bhikku Mahanama that monks who had attained Arhathood justified mass murder in the name of religion was an obvious and an evil lie. Yet this lie has triumphed over the First Precept.

Constantine and his heirs had to remake Jesus from a man of peace to a prince of war; they were aided in this re-make by the vengeful God of the Old Testament. Mahanama had to do the job by himself, without any doctrinal help. He, and not the Buddha, is the true teacher and leader of the likes of the JHU and the BBS.

Myth as Destiny

The Mahawamsa stories are not just popular myths retold in an ancient chronicle. They have determined the trajectory of Ceylon/Sri Lanka in modern times.
The anti-minority nature of the 19th Century Buddhist renaissance, under the tutelage of Anagarika Dharmapala, was fuelled by the Mahawamsa myths. Distorted and enslaved by the Mahawamsa myths, Sinhala-Buddhism lost the ability to appeal to Tamils or to create a Lankan Dr Ambedkar.

Had there been a significant segment of Buddhist Tamils, with a voice within the Sangha, our post-Independence history may have taken a less destructive path. But to be able to appeal to Tamils, Buddhism has to cease being the identity-badge of Sinhala supremacism and reclaim its pre-Mahawamsa universalist potential.

"Our challenge is to devise some arrangement which enables us to coexist if not in amity then at least in forbearance" Jawaharlal Nehru told Andre Malraux (Anti-Memoir). That is the challenge facing any pluralist nation. Sri Lanka will fail to win this challenge, so long as we remain in thrall to Mahawamsa myths.

He "caused Vijaya and his followers, seven hundred men, to be shaven over half the head and put them on a ship and sent them forth upon the sea"¦."

[ii] He was so just, that gods intervened to end a drought, at his pleading, according to Mahawamsa

[iii] King Kawantissa and his queen were childless for many years. The Queen sought the advice of a sage and was told to obtain the consent of dying monk to be reincarnated in her womb as her son. The queen attended the monk on his death bed and obtained his consent to her wish. While she was on her way to inform her husband of the felicitous tidings, the monk died and "he returned to a new life in the womb of the queen while she was yet upon her journey; when she perceived this she halted. She sent that message to the king"¦."

your message is not clear!!
are you condemning sinhalese for their mythological beliefs!! or something else??

 

[arnabmit]

Its pretty self explanatory. Neither Sinhalese or Tamils or anyone else on earth today lives life according to historical texts. People live life according to current social/political/economical/geographic boundaries. Claims based on many thousand year old texts has no practical value today.

well then i suggest you to read the article again, and read the immediate history of SL for the past 100 years and try to correlate the attitude of SL government,

if you still fail to see how they function, i can't help it!!

 

[HeinzGud]

how do you sleep at night? Don't you hear the screams of innocent tamil children whom your barbarian government killed. Sri Lanka is built over the graves of thousands of innocent tamils

Yeah... we are the ultimate Tamil killers..... look at our history!

 

[HeinzGud]

..tell that to a sinhala and he will spit on your face.

Why we spit? Sri Lankans are proud of their Indian heritage.

 

[HeinzGud]

well then i suggest you to read the article again, and read the immediate history of SL for the past 100 years and try to correlate the attitude of SL government,

if you still fail to see how they function, i can't help it!!

I suggest go back for 400 years... you will be pretty amazed by what you find.

Please let me excuse myself from this debate when you violently reject every other point of view except your own.

sorry to disappoint you, i have glanced the mahavamsa/deepavamsa/kulavamsa as well -thanks to translators,

1.what do you think of the mahavamsa attitude??

2. are u denying the so called "sinhala race" is nothing but a mixture of kalinga/pandya/chera/chola/andraities/ four indigenous races who cannot be even distinguished?

 

[HEILTAMIL]

well, it is your individual choice to educate yourself !!!

A new volume, with three chapters dedicated to President Mahinda Rajapaksa, will be added to the Mahavamsa, PTI reported quoting the Cultural Affairs ministry said.

The Mahavamsa describes the island's history from the coming of Vijaya in 543 BC to the reign of King Mahasena (6th Century BC to 4th Century AD).

A companion volume, the Culavamsa, covers the period from the 4th century to the British takeover of Sri Lanka in 1815.

"A panel of eminent writers has begun the work on the sixth volume. This will cover the period between 1978 and 2010," Wimal Rubasinghe, the secretary to the ministry, said.

The ministry has decided to dedicate three chapters to Rajapaksa as opposed to his predecessors whose periods will be limited to two chapters or less.

"Rajapaksa''s achievement in ending the Island''s 30-year separatist war has no parallels in the chronicle," the official said.

 

[HeinzGud]

1.what do you think of the mahavamsa attitude??

Mahawansa is just a chronicle nothing much to brag about it. But we Sinhalese are proud of it because of it's tradition of recording the historical events for 2500 years.

2. are u denying the so called "sinhala race" is nothing but a mixture of kalinga/pandya/chera/chola/andraities/ four indigenous races who cannot be even distinguished?

No. I'm not denying but openly claiming what you said is the truth. (you forgot Pallava and Gujjars)

then what is your response to those 2 articles in this same thread that i have pointed out, are you suggesting GoSL and its sinhalese? is not heavily influenced by the motives of these records and makes decisions to save this pure sinhalese race ?? and taliban like buddhism ,

Sinhalese is a culture not a race.... We have Tamils, native islanders, Malayalis (like me) and many other ethnic groups combined to form the Sinhalese culture. There is no issue in saving ones culture and heritage from going extinct. Unlike Tamils who are recent arrivals to the island Sinhales are proud of their heritage and culture so they try to protect it.

you contradict yourself,

how come the tamils in the north became recent arrivals, tamils 2500 years back had maritime contacts and send ambassdors as far as greek and egypt and china but they were not capable of reaching 20 miles ashore??funny

since tamils in the north don't follow buddhism they are recent arrivals?? remeber buddhism didn't just jump into srilanka from buddha it was the major religion along with others throughout India

even according to your chronicles,very first sinhalese?? 700 vijaya's had pandyan wifes, vijaya's successor was a pandyan= a tamil,
isn't that why pandiyans always sided with sinhalese to oppose cholas,

check history of malayalam, a heavily sanskritised tamil, they have flourished with mixture just like sinhalese
sinhalese = pali+sanskrit+tamil; and so its culture


budhism born out of ancient sanathana dharma with jain influence which also has its roots there
Budhism is engulfed in hinduism there is no modern day hinduism or tamil saivism without budhist framework, bettersay hinudism is just enhanced mixture of budhism

Hinduism was revived from jain and buddhist philosophies in whole Indian masses not with sword and blood but with innumerable great literary works and then day science

every hindu would accept buddha as a god as well just like the other tantric deities,why this murderous rage?? when you want to protect yours from converting, why not the ones who follow a religion which is not yours didn't want to convert and protect theirs??

why destroy their historical worship places??


to protect Buddhism and to protect the pure sinhalese as per anagriha dharmapala you should kill the non-groupies?:shocked:

Indeed Tamils were frequently visited the island for the past 2500 years. But there were no historical record of Tamils settling in a certain area on the island and claiming it as theirs. Moreover even the so called Jaffna kingdom had majority Sinhalese subjects until Sankili. It was Sankili that had banished Sinhalese from Jaffna kingdom.

What I meant by "recent arrivals" is that Dutch brought Vellalan Tamils from TN for their tobacco plantations, those Tamils then settled themselves in the former Sinhalese villages. The Tamil village names of Jaffna peninsula are derived from Sinhalese village names. Unlike British, Dutch didn't keep constant records of their businesses, hence we do not know how many Tamils had arrived.

Those recent arrivals now claim that they are the native populace of Jaffna peninsula which according to the historians are complete blasphemy.

even according to your chronicles,very first sinhalese?? 700 vijaya's had pandyan wifes, vijaya's successor was a pandyan= a tamil,
isn't that why pandiyans always sided with sinhalese to oppose cholas,

You should know that the pandyan house was ended with the conquest of Pandukabhaya a half native prince.

check history of malayalam, a heavily sanskritised tamil, they have flourished with mixture just like sinhalese
sinhalese = pali+sanskrit+tamil; and so its culture

correction....

sinhalese = pali+sanskrit+tamil+Portuguese

every hindu would accept buddha as a god as well just like the other tantric deities,why this murderous rage??

What murderous rage?

why destroy their historical worship places??

Give me one example

to protect Buddhism and to protect the pure sinhalese as per anagriha dharmapala you should kill the non-groupies?:shocked:

Tell that to anagriha dharmapala.

what was the time of elara?? who were living there previously, not just the four tribes, people can swim across man it is that close, for heavensake,
Geologists agree it was attached with TN 9000 years back, later they have drifted a little further, even during closest times they say they were able to reach there walking

please be reminded mahavamsa is the source of people who ruled from the teeth temple to the external world not the only one, eventhough Sinhalese fascist regimes in the past burned the Universities of Jafna and other official records,

guess what,we have records in TN too, 55% of total archeological inscriptions of whole India is in Tamil

tamils settled all across the world since classical times, your shitty politicians for a sinhala dominated regime thats why sent people who settled generations back calling them Indian tamils,
while probably SL is the only place in Indian subcontinent which has heavily mixed different DNA genetic markers in a single individual

the whole world knows about the quality of historians of SL

isn't he the source and reason for the revival of madness and the chaos that Tamils and muslims are facing during this last century

how was pandyans mentioned in ur chronicle i think pandu, please read your chronicles properly, he was infact the first king


you seem to be in a complete denial mode or may be thats because your schools have been teaching you distorted history, i don't think your gov. is capable of locating and white vaning you, like it does to the journalists, so please feel free to speak the truth for your goodness

I do not know what Pandu means. But I certainly said the Pandu was half native. His mother were Pandya princess.
