Let this 77th Independence Day serve as a turning point – a moment to embrace the lessons of the past and work collectively towards a brighter tomorrow, Geneva International Buddhist Centre Head and Chief Sangha Nayaka of Switzerland Ven. Dr. Tawalama Dhammika Thera in a message said to coincide with Sri Lanka’s Independence Day.
Excerpts of the message: “With determination, unity and wise leadership, the celebration of our independence can once again become a beacon of hope and progress for generations to come.
However, despite the passage of time and numerous efforts, we have faced challenges that have hindered our progress. Instead of advancing in critical areas such as culture, education and religion, we have seen troubling signs of decline. These setbacks have often clouded the aspirations that independence once promised.
Yet, with a new Government in place, there is renewed hope. This milestone offers an opportunity to recommit ourselves to the values and goals that independence represents. It is a chance to envision a future where progress, unity and prosperity are no longer mere dreams but achievable realities.
On this 77th National Day, let us reflect on our history, celebrate our achievements and renew our commitment to the vision of a united and thriving Sri Lanka. Together, we can overcome any challenges and keep the spirit of independence alive for generations to come.
May the spirit of patriotism continue to guide us and may we always work towards building a brighter future for our nation”.
