Over the past few months, people across the United States and around the world have been speaking about a remarkable Peace Walk that has deeply inspired many.

After walking for 108 days and covering more than 2,300 miles, this extraordinary journey concluded today at the Washington National Cathedral. It was a powerful act of dedication, discipline, and spiritual commitment.

Throughout the journey, the Venerable monks were joined not only by supporters from many communities, but also by a small puppy named Aaloka, who walked alongside them and won the love and admiration of people everywhere. Together, they captured the attention of the world and reminded us of the simple strength found in compassion and unity.

At the closing ceremony, the Chief Monk shared a meaningful and practical message about the importance of “letting go.” He gave a simple example:

“When you brush your teeth and notice water stains or splashes on the mirror, clean them immediately. Do not postpone it for tomorrow and allow dirt to build up. In the same way, do not hold on to negative experiences in your life. Let them go. Do not keep anger or resentment in your heart. Release them.”

It was a powerful reminder that peace begins within each of us. If we learn to let go of anger, hatred, and negativity, we create space for understanding, kindness, and harmony.

Peace is not just a global ideal-it is a daily personal practice. Let us all strive to live peacefully with one another and contribute to a more compassionate world.

May the strength of this courageous journey bring healing to the world.
May peace prevail !
May all beings be well and safe !
☮️🙏🙏🙏☮️
Walk for Peace

A message from Anudi -

To all my fellow Sri Lankans,

I don’t even have the words to express how overwhelmed and grateful I am for the love, support, and encouragement you’ve shown me. Every post, every comment, every kind message… I see them, I feel them, and they mean the world to me.

While I may not be able to reply to each one personally, please know that I carry your strength with me every step of the way.

I’m more determined than ever to make our motherland proud on the world stage. This is only the beginning, and with your continued blessings and prayers, I know we can go even further.

Let’s keep pushing forward, together. Much love to all of you! 🇱🇰

With all my heart,
Anudi

මාගේ ආදරණීය ශ්‍රී ලාංකික ජනතාව වෙත,

ඔබ සැම මට දැක්වූ ආදරය, සහයෝගය සහ දිරිගැන්වීම් වෙනුවෙන් ස්තූතිය පළකරන්න තරම් ප්‍රමාණවත් වචන මා සතුව නැත. ඔබ විසින් මා උදෙසා තබන ලද සියලු සටහන්, කමෙන්ට්, සහ පණිවිඩ මට පෙනෙනවා වගේම ඒ සෑම සටහනක්ම, කමෙන්ට් එකක්ම, සුබ පැතුමක්ම මට මහමෙරක් තරම් වටිනවා.

මට ඒ සියල්ලටම පුද්ගලිකව පිළිතුරු ලබාදීමට අපහසු වුණත්, මගේ ගමනේ සෑම පියවරක් පාසාම ඔබගේ වචන මට විශාල ශක්තියක් සහ ධෛර්‍යයක් ලබාදෙන බව මම ඉතා කෘතඥපූර්වකව මතක් කරනවා.

ලෝක වේදිකාව මත අපගේ මව්බිමට ගෞරවයක් ගෙන එන්න මම අන් කවරදාකටත් වඩා අධිෂ්ඨානයෙන් සිටිනවා. මෙය ඇරඹුමක් පමණයි. ඔබ සැමගේ ආශිර්වාදය මට ඉදිරියටත් ලැබේ නම් අපිට මීටත් වඩා දිගු ගමනක් යා හැකි බව මට විශ්වාසයි.

මේතාක් දුර පැමිණි ආකාරයටම අපි ඉදිරියටත් එක්ව පියනගමු. ඔබ සියලුදෙනාටම මම ආදරෙයි සහ ණයගැතියි. 🇱🇰

මගේ මුළු හදවතින්ම,

🌍🥔 අන්තර්ජාතික අර්තාපල් දිනය | 2025 මැයි 30

"ඉතිහාසය හැඩකරමින්, අනාගතය පෝෂණය කරමින්|

අ‍ර්තාපල් යනු ලෝකයේ බිලියන ගණනක් ආහාරයට ගන්නා, ඉතිහාසයෙන්ම වැදගත්, දැන් වඩාත්ම අවශ්‍ය ආහාර බෝගයකි. අද දිනය, ලෝකය පුරා ආහාර ආරක්ෂාව, පාරිසරික සහය සහ ආර්ථික වාසිය සපයන මෙම සරලම නමුත් බලවත්ම බෝගය සමරන්නෙමු.

👩‍🌾 නුවර එළිය යෞවනයන් ලෙස, ශ්‍රී ලංකාවේ අල බීජ බෝග පද්ධතියේ මූලික කලාපයක් වශයෙන් අපේ පළාත ගන්නා අගය අප බරපතළව විමසා බලමු. මෙහි සිටින තරුණයන්ගේ අතින් පවතින නවීන පෝලිටනල් වගාව, බෙදි බෑග් පද්ධති සහ පරිසර හිතකාමී ක්‍රමවේදයන් ශ්‍රී ලංකාවේ කෘෂිකර්ම අනාගතය හැඩකරමින් සිටී.

📣 එබැවින් ශ්‍රී ලංකාව පුරා පවතින තරුණයන්ගේ අවධානය අපි මෙයින් යොමු කරවන්නෙමු:

✅ ස්ථාවර, දිරුම්ගත් කෘෂි ක්‍රම භාවිතා කිරීම
✅ තාක්ෂණය සහ නවෝත්පාදනය ඔස්සේ කෘෂිකර්මය නවීන කිරීම
✅ ප්‍රාදේශීය බීජ බැංකු සහ ගොවී ජාල ගොඩනැගීම
✅ තරුණ කෘෂි ව්‍යාපාරිකයන්ට සහය ලබාදීම
✅ බෝග විවිධත්වය ආරක්ෂා කිරීමේ දැක්මකට කැපවීම

🚜 අපේ පළාතේ තරුණයන් පමණක් නොව, සෙරෙන දිස්ත්‍රික්කවල සිටින තරුණයන් තෙක්, කෘෂිකර්මය තුළ නව සංකල්ප, නව දැක්ම, සහ නව බලය රැගෙන එන්නට සූදානම් විය යුතුය.

📌 මෙම අ‍ර්තාපල් දිනය සමග තරුණ ප්‍රතිබද්ධතාවයක් වශයෙන් පරිවර්තනය කරමු — ආහාර ආරක්ෂාවට, පාරිසරික දිරුමකට, සහ යථාර්ථය වෙනස් කිරීමට!

🌍🥔 International Day of Potato | 30 May 2025
Shaping History, Feeding the Future

Today we mark a powerful global celebration , the International Day of Potato, honoring a crop that has sustained civilizations, shaped history, and continues to feed billions around the world.

As youth of Nuwara Eliya, a region at the heart of Sri Lanka’s potato cultivation, we recognize the vital role we play in safeguarding the future of agriculture. From our fertile highlands to the innovative greenhouses emerging across our communities, Nuwara Eliya stands as a model for sustainable, high-quality seed potato production.

🌱 In the face of climate change, food insecurity, and rising costs of imports, it’s time for youth across Sri Lanka to step forward. We are not just the future , we are the present force that can reshape agriculture through:
✅ Smart and climate-resilient farming methods
✅ Innovation in seed technology and eco-friendly cultivation
✅ Community-based seed banks and knowledge-sharing
✅ Entrepreneurship in agri-business and food systems
✅ Advocacy for food sovereignty and self-sufficiency

👩‍🌾👨‍🌾 As youth leaders from the highlands, we call upon young people across Sri Lanka to get involved in:
🔹 Sustainable farming practices
🔹 Agricultural education and tech-based solutions
🔹 Supporting local food systems and farmer networks
🔹 Taking pride in our heritage and preserving crop diversity

🌾 Whether you’re from the hills of Nuwara Eliya or the plains of Anuradhapura, your energy, creativity, and action can help build a more resilient, just, and food-secure Sri Lanka.

📢 Let’s celebrate this Potato Day not just with appreciation , but with commitment.
Join hands with us. The future of food is in our hands.
