Cultural & Sinhalese Language School Building

Deeply honoured to attend the opening ceremony of the 'Cultural & Sinhalese Language School Building' of Sakyamuni Sambuddha Vihara (Buddhist Vihara Victoria) today with The Hon Jason Wood MP Assistant Minister for Customs, Community Safety and Multicultural Affairs and Mr. Kapila Fonseka- Consul General of Sri Lanka.

The school is purpose built, funded with grants ($780 000) from the Morrison Government as well as the priceless contribution of dedicated volunteers. The building has classrooms, library, multi-purpose hall, staff room, etc. These beautiful buildings are a place of meditation and teaching of languages, the expression of faith and the celebration of Sri Lankan culture.

Congratulations on the fulfillment of your vision. Your hard work and commitment will inspire generations to come, keeping the rich traditions and teachings of your vibrant culture alive.

I thank the Chief Incumbent Venerable Digamadulle Wimalananda Thero, President Ilangaratne, Secretary Chintha and the committee members for the invitation and hospitality.
