Mind precedes all knowables,
mind's their chief, mind-made are they.
If with a clear, and confident mind
one should speak and act
as one's shadow ne'er departing.
Happiness Follows The Doer of Good
Explanation: All that man experiences springs out of his
thoughts. If his thoughts are good, the words and the deeds will
also be good. The result of good thoughts , words and deeds will
be happiness. This happiness will never leave the person whose
thoughts are good. Happiness will always follow him like his
shadow that never leaves him.

Helping Nunneries where Nuns reside
At present, it has been calculated that there are more than 3000 Buddhist Nuns residing in various parts of Sri Lanka. Out of those Nunneries only a very few are supported by government or any other organizations, but these chief Nuns enduring all the difficulties try to maintain the nunneries and give education to the novish. Due to this dire situation the girls of affluent families, though interested, are reluctant to enter into the Bhikkhuni oder. To overcome this at least for some extent a part of Dhamma Training Centre at Dekanduwala managed by Buddhist Cultural Centre Nedimala, has been allocated solely for Bhikkhunis. In addition it has been envisaged to translate Buddhist Cultural Centre Nedimala into a Centre where Dhamma education will be given to Bhikkhunis.
If you would like to help this centre or to develop a Buddhist Nunnery in any part of Sri Lanka or to extend your helping hand to any institution to conduct a pirivena Buddhist Cultural Centre likes to facilitate and give what is required.
In addition to this we are always ready to help you to do any good deed to nurture the society with old values and qualities with utmost trust.
Our main objective is to take Buddhism from Generation to Generation
