The statement of the Venerable Director Thero of the Asgiri Maha Pirivena

It is a great deal of pleasure to witness the year by
year steady progress in Sri Sumanatissa Dhamma School being conducted at Asgiri
Maha Vihara Maha Pirivena premises at present, which was started in memory of
the great name of our late teacher, most venerable Vidya Visharada, Royal
Pandit Saliyale Sri Sumanatissabhidhana Anunayaka Maha thero of Asgiriya
chapter.



By dint of commitment of our ardent staff members, ambitious parents and all
studious students, acquired achievements and progress during the past eight
years, have given the driving force to the prime aim of making an endeavor to
bestow good, courteous citizens to the country.



A Dhamma School student is meant to be a creation with utmost commitment of a
particular volunteer group for the betterment, progress, promotion and
preservation of morality of a country. Although school is meant to impart a
wealth of universal knowledge to a students to broaden the horizons , Dhamma
school is predominantly committed to enrich his or her spiritual and ethical
departments.



Accordingly, Dhamma education is the moral emblem of the motherland which is
poised to take material success. Our sole intention is to see the proceedings
to be innovative to cater to the requirements of the modern world preserving
traditional values of Dhamma education. We are looking forward that the
impressive role played by patriots like Hon. Anagarika Dharmapala, G. P.
Malalasekara will be playing to some extent by our Sri Sumanatissa Dhamma
School students.
