A Dreamland.......

Nuwara-Eliya the 'heart' of the tea country 
located at an elevation of 1980 meters in the central highlands of a
 tropical island, it offers the best both worlds advantages, of tropical 
abundance and pleasant cool mountain climate. While the time climate is sub-tropical, 
night temperature plunge 
low enough to produce frost.......
            One of the attraction of Horton plains is world's end. There are infact two of them. 
“The small world’s end” and 
“The big world’s end” they are about 0.8km (1/2mile) apart from each other. From these, one could see the fall to the Tea states down bellow. 
A merry 1000ft(328m) from the small one and a dramatic 4000ft (1312m) from the big one. From here one could get a fantastic view of the surrounding hills and the mountain ranges wreathed in mists and clouds and on clear days even the Indian ocean which is about 50 miles (81km) to the south is visible. 


The vertebrate fauna of the region includes 
24 species of mammals, 
87 species of birds, 
9 species of reptiles and
8species of amphibians..

Realization for a Better Civilization..

සිත ගලා බස්නා ගගක් වැන්න.සිතිවිලි ගගෙහි දිය වැන්න,ගග දිය වේගවත්වූ කල සැඩ දිය ලෙස හදින්වේ....
සිතිවිලි වේගවත් වූ කල සැඩ දියට ද වඩා වේගවත් වේ,
සිතිවිලි වේගය අඩු කල හැක්කේ සිහි ණුවන මෙහෙයවා කටයුතු කල හොත් පමණි.
සැඩ දිය නැමති
සිතිවිලි 
සිහිල් සුව ගෙනෙන 
නිහඩ ගඹුරු දියක් 
කල හැක්කේ  ද ඔබටම පමණි...













Buddha did not represent another powerful invisible figure to preach his knowledge and was his own master. To the layman he taught how to live a good, sincere, happy and a purposeful life and proposed some guidelines to follow to achieve these objectives. Those who do good deeds are rewarded with positive results and vice versa he said. He also said those who want to improve the mind should practice to eliminate selfishness, hatred, anger and ignorance. He said right view, right resolve, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration will lead to cessation of sorrow.........
