A brief obituary note on sudden death of most venerable Ranthiligma
Ratnajothi Thera of Hemmathagama Kapurakka Buddhist temple:
People in Hemmathagama area mourn for the sudden death of one of its
greatest human personalities in our area. The chief monk of Kapurakka
Buddhist temple passed away on 28/03/2014. He has been an architect of
Muslim and Singhalese friendship association in Hemmathagama. He has
been working hard to bridge the gaps between two Muslims and Singhalese
people in the areas. He has always always calling people to live in
peace and communal harmony. It has been his dream to build up a strong
communal and social relationship between Muslim and Singhalese
communities in the area. He loved to see people living in peace and harmony.
He is a highly respected Buddhist monk not only in Hemmathagama area but
also beyond Kegalle district. He has been one of chief Buddhist sanga of
Subrgamuwa district. He earns respect of all communities in the area. A
large number of Singhalese and Muslims of area participated in his
funeral rites. This tells us that he has earned good will and respect of
people in Hemmathagama region: it is believed that he was one of the
keepers of Kandy Daladamaligawa temple.
Since unfortunate incident in Mawanella in 2003 he has been working hard
among Buddhist people of the area to build communal harmony among
Muslims and Sinhalese.
In gratitude to his communal and religious services, Hemmathagama mosque
federation provided lunch parcels to the people who participated in his
funeral rights.
Indeed, this is one the historical precedents in our Muslim and
Singhalese relation in this country. people of different faith and
culture should interact and share human feeling in time of sadness and
happiness. I think that this is the first time these two communities
come very closer in our communal interaction. It can be said this a
historical event in the history of Sri Lanka that Muslims people offer
lunch in a funeral of Buddhist monk in our history of hundreds of
years.I hope that people in all other areas too share human feelings in
the time of tragedies and sadness like this. Mr Azhar the principal of
Kotegoda school and a member of Buddhist Muslim association in
Hemmathagama noted that Hemmathagama people have lost one of noble and
venerable monks and a friend of Muslim people in our area. He also noted
that the venerable monk has been a founder member of Buddhist and Muslim
association in our area. It should be noted that a large numbers of
Muslim participated in his funeral to appreciate his sense of humanism
and kindness. Singhalese people too highly appreciated and welcome
Muslim presence in his funeral rites.
We hope that people of Hemmathagama set a good example by expressing
their condolence and sadness. We all express our heartfelt condolence to
the family and friends of venerable monk.
