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.
