“If a person constantly cultivates loving-kindness and dwells with a heart filled with loving-kindness, that noble one accumulates immeasurable merit.”
— Mettānisamsa Sutta

Dear Devotees,

Our Blessed Buddha is the supreme embodiment of loving-kindness and compassion in this world. Whatever merits we perform today are possible because of His boundless compassion and because He so graciously taught us the Dhamma.

Just reflect for a moment: how much suffering exists in today's world because loving-kindness and compassion are lacking? Across nations and communities, do we hear anything more than cries of sorrow, conflict, and distress?

Therefore, whenever possible, cultivate thoughts of loving-kindness. You will find that it brings great comfort and peace to your life. However, loving-kindness must be developed continuously and practiced regularly. It is a quality that grows through constant cultivation.

While many of you may have had regular opportunities to associate with temples and participate in religious activities while living in Sri Lanka, such opportunities can sometimes be limited when living abroad. Yet, with the offering of a 150-year-old Christian church in the United States to the Buddha Sasana, a unique opportunity is now being created for all of you.

Without altering any of its sacred statues, artwork, or historical features, this place will continue to preserve its heritage while also providing a space where devotees can engage in meditation, spiritual reflection, and Dhamma practice.

On June 15, 2026, the dedication of the Metta Vihara in Ohio, USA, to the Buddha Sasana will take place. On this historic occasion, we warmly and respectfully invite all of you to join us in cultivating loving-kindness and compassion within your hearts.

May this noble undertaking become a source of peace, harmony, and spiritual growth for countless beings.

With Metta,

Venerable Devananda Thero
One who wishes for the welfare and flourishing of the Buddha Sasana throughout the world.

ඇමෙරිකානු බැතිමතකු විසින් බුදු සසුනට ප්‍රථමවතාවට පුද දෙන ඓතිහාසික දේවස්ථානය( මෙත්තා විහාරය )

පූජ්‍ය තලංගම දේවානන්ද නාහිමිපාණන්ගේ ආගමික සහජිවන ක්‍රියා පිළිවෙත පිළිබඳ පැහැදුණු ඇමෙරිකානු දොස්තර මහතකු විසින් ගෞතම බුදු සසුනට බ්‍රයන් ඔහායෝ නගරයේ දේවස්ථානයක් සිය ප්‍රථමවතාවට ගෞතම බුදු සසුන වෙත පුද කිරීමේ ඓතිහාසික දින ජුනි මස 20 වන දා දී ඇමෙරිකා එක්සත් ජනපදයේ සිදු කිරීමට නියමිතයි.

ලෝක සාමය උදෙසා සාම පාගමනට පුරෝගාමි වූ පූජ්‍ය පඤ්ඤාකාර ස්වාමීන් වහන්සේ ගේ සුරතින් මේ ඓතිහාසික දෙව්මැඳුර, "මෛත්‍රී විහාරය" නමින් බුදු සසුනට පුද දෙන්න නියමිතයි. මේ සඳහා දෙස් විදෙස් මහා සඟරුවන , විවිධ ආගමික නායකයින්, අධ්‍යාත්මික පූජකවරු ඇතුලු සම්භාවනීය බැතිමතුන් ඇතුලු බොහෝ දෙනා මේ සඳහා සහසම්බන්ධවන්නට නියමිතයි.

මේ ඓතිහාසික අවස්ථාවට සමඟාමීව ජුනි 19,20 දිනයන් හි පිරිස් සජ්ඣායනා පිංකම, මහා සංඝරත්නය උදෙසා දානය පූජා කිරීම, ධර්ම දේශනා, භාවනා වැඩසටහන්, සුරතල් සතුන් වෙනුවෙන් ආශිර්වාද එක් කිරීම ආදී ආමිස ප්‍රතිපත්ති පූජා පිංකම් රැසක් ඇතුළු සංස්කෘතීක පෙරහැර , සංස්කෘතීක කලා නර්තනයන් ද එදින සියලුම ආගමික බැතිමතුන්ට, සියලුම ජාතින්ට දැක බලා ගැනීමට අවස්ථාව සැලසේ.

ආගමික සහජිවන මුලු ලොවටම සංකේතවත් කරමින් , එය ක්‍රියාවට නංවමින් සාමයේ අරුණලු කැන්දමින්, බුදු සසුනට පුද දෙන මේ මෛත්‍රී විහාරයේ සමාරම්භක ඓතිහාසික දවස වෙනුවෙන් ඇමෙරිකාවෙ වෙසෙන සියලු ජාතින් හා සියලුම ආගමික බැතිමතුන් උදෙසා මෙත් සිතින් සිදු කරන ඇරයුමයි මේ...
