SRI DHAMMANANDA SENIOR CITIZEN'S HOME SRI LANKA,
SPONSORED BY SBMC
| |
A home for the aged, to accommodate 70 senior citizens, both lay and clergy is being built in Sri Lanka under the direct sponsorship of the Singapore Buddhist Meditation Centre.
This home for the aged will be equipped with most advanced facilities, to cater to all the needs of the senior citizens. The home is planned to enable the senior citizens to spend their sunset years in a calm, serene and tranquil atmosphere.
The unique feature of this home is the accommodation provided for senior monks who have no permanent residence to spend their old age. While pursuing their religious practices, they can counsel the lay devotees in matters relating to Dhamma. Looking after the senior citizens, is a tremendous human responsibility for the moderns. Therefore devotees could contribute to this project generously to acquire merit for themselves or to transfer merit to anyone they wish.
Providing this project is not only a religious responsibility but is also a prime social obligation, in our time.
