Would the Buddha, who taught compassion for all living beings, want the Sacred Tooth carried on the back of an animal kept in chains? 🐘

Tradition alone does not make something right. If we claim to follow his teaching, should we not look for ways to honour the relic without causing suffering

@fartagaz It’s the same story being repeated over and over again but each time in a new environment. You can’t keep expecting people to come to the theaters to sit in for 3.5hrs when they already know the story.

Rumesh Tharanga is now the World No. 1 in men's javelin throw rankings. 🇱🇰🔝

He is first Sri Lankan athlete ever to be ranked World No. 1 in any track and field event following the latest World Athletics rankings update.

A historic achievement for Sri Lankan athletics. 🫂

Here's what Nano Banana thinks what Sigiriya looked like in 790 AD.

Damn what an amazing time to be teaching history in schools!

The link I prompted: https://t.co/yrgi9PVx3Y. Prompt was tiny: Show me what Sigiriya would've looked like in 790 AD.

Is it just me or are movie tickets getting unreasonably expensive in Sri Lanka? High time we probably get more competitors coming in? Just a few years ago a movie ticket was as low as 700-850, now it’s easily 1800-2000++

How can one rationalize this? #srilanka

@NewsWireLK Can this program please also test the reasonableness of the prices or is that under CAA?

@DigixDanny @itsreallybruno @ohgodiluvny I mean I sympathize for her and it’s okay for her to not tour. What would’ve been perfect for SB era and I hope she does for the next phase is do a one night only show at the least, or book MSG and do a series of 5 shows. More than enough to get what she wants

[Derek Lighter @DerekLighter]

@itsreallybruno @ohgodiluvny The fact that this needs to be said reinstates that she looks at herself as a legend, and not the GP. The GP simply doesn’t regard her the same way she expects her to, so there’s a mismatch. She acts like a legacy artist but doesn’t have the commercial run that screams success
