纪实访谈:Ven Dr K Sri Dhammananda Maha Nayaka Thera |
The Chief monk of Malaysia and Singapore, Ven. Dr K Sri Dhammananda Maha Nayaka Thera passed away peacefully on 31 August 2006 . He was 88
Ven. Dr K Sri Dhammananda came to Malaya (now Malaysia) in January 1952. He has since then made Malaysia his adopted home. His contribution to the development of Buddhism in pre-independence Malaya and then modern Malaysia is beyond measure.
A 40 foot pyre is currently being constructed for the cremation by craftsmen sponsored by the Sri Lanka temple of Sentul, Kuala Lumpur. The Chief monk of the temple, Ven. Saranankara said that the idea of the pyre was mooted as not many Buddhists in Malaysia have seen such a ceremony.
Apart from the pyre, the hearse will also be specially built to carry the casket from Buddhist Maha Vihara to Nirwana Memorial in Semenyih. Supervised by Ven. Ananda, the hearse is designed according to Sri Lankan tradition.
Life is uncertain,death is certain-K Sri Dhammananda
Death is natural and inevitable;it is not half as frightening
as the thought of dying itself- K Sri Dhammananda |
