Notes and Events:

Nirodha City Centre, a Dhamma and Meditation teaching facility was inaugurated at a ceremony on Saturday, 20th February presided over by Ven Kirama Wimalajothi Nayaka Thero and Ven Olande Ananda Thero. The City Centre now located at No 44, Edirisinghe Road, Mirihana Nugegoda, is one of the key projects of the Nirodha Trust whose aim is to foster, preserve and spread the authentic teachings of the Buddha.  

The programs that will be conducted at the Nirodha City Centre include guided meditation, Dhamma workshops, Sutta discussions, Dhammapada teachings, Day-Long retreats and yoga sessions. 

The Spiritual Director and founder of the Nirodha Trust Dhammaruwan, is an experienced meditation teacher who has trained with Bhante Henepola Gunaratne and Joseph Goldstein in the USA. 

At the inauguration ceremony, in a special message Joseph Goldstein reiterated the importance of centers such as the Nirodha City Centre, for providing opportunities for those in the city with busy work schedules to learn meditation in a place close to home. Venerable Wimalajoti welcomed the concept of the City Centre since he felt it would fill an existing void in Dhamma dissemination  and learning meditation in Colombo.

Worlds smallest Dhama book place inside a brass pagoda

(Piruwana pothwahanse as the symbol of  Dhamma  )  

Vendor: Paramitha Foundation
  • Include all four Sathara Banawara
  • 32000 letters,218 pages
  • Length 2.5 -3.5 cm
  • Height 1.0 cm,Width 8.75 sq.cm
  • Hard cover, hand binding with gold foiling outer cover
  • Durable special paper and ink
  • Pirith Chanted Thread (Pirith noola) rolled in to the potha/book
    The Maha Pirith Potha - Piruwana Pothwahanse was named as Chatubanawara (Satara Banawara) Pali by the Arahnts Sanagha during the Anuradhapura period is part of the sermons by Lord Buddha`s own words.
    According to historical records Pirith was written in Ola leaves which includes four sections (Satara Banawara) of sermons. Later it is considered that some sections might have been added from Mahayana sector. However the original four sections of the Pirith Potha/Book which had been prepared with 8 letters in a line to 4 lines in all to be 32 letters of 1000 Gathas/Stanzas. Each section contains 8000 words and a total of 32000 words in the entire Pirith Potha of Satra Banawara.
The  concept of producing the Maha Pirith Potha ( Great book of protection ) as a symbol of Dhamma  is to offer the due place for the much venerated  book by all Buddhist through out of the world.

Our Vision

Those who are searching for the supreme happiness in their lives’ walk through the right path towards the ultimate freedom and achieve liberation from all sufferings in this very life.

Our Mission 

People living in this world are constantly working hard to get rid of all kinds of mundane sufferings of life. The modern science is always trying to give an answer to this question by introducing new inventions with unending research, but have not come across an ultimate solution. Day by day the problems are getting more complicated. Buddha has found the way to get rid of all sufferings and his teaching on the path to freedom is documented in the tipitaka. But it is not easily understood by the layman just reading the text. Only a good teacher who has practiced the path to freedom successfully and experienced the teachings can explain in a systematic way for novices to understand. Siri Amathagavesi Foundation was established to take you to an experienced teacher. He is Ven. Panditha Waturugama Nanadasiri thero. Nandasiri thero teaches Saddha Seela, Samadhi, Panna sections with meditation through a very pragmatic approach and proven that an ordinary man is able to understand the path to nirvana. Over 12000 laypeople from Sri Lanka and abroad have followed his teachings and have improved their intelligence to understand the life and how to overcome the suffering.

The entire course is divided into the following sections.

1.    Saddha Bhawana       (Devotion meditation)
2.    Seela bhavana            (Seela Meditation)
3.    Samadi bhawana        (Samata  Meditation)
4.    Kayanupassana          (Contemplation of Body)
5.    Chitanupassana          (Contemplation of Thoughts)
6.    Panna bhavana           (Wisdom Meditation)

There are residential and part time classes organized by the management. The seven day residential course is conducted at Veluwanaramaya temple, Kannimahara, Waturugama (Gampaha District) Sri Lanka. Part time classes are conducted at Waturugama, Gampaha, Ratmalana and Ratnapura. Duration of the course is about 32 hrs, divided into 8 half days and one session a week. No fee is charged for any of these courses and food and lodging is also free for the residential students.

Please note that those who wish to participate for the residential course should have sent their application by post for reservation two months prior to the expected date. The facilities available are limited to twenty five participants at a time.
