To coincide with the forthcoming 2600 Sambuddhatva Jayanthi Wesak commemoration ceremony and invoke merits on all fallen War Heroes, a special alms-giving for twenty five Buddhist nuns (Sil Meniwaru), organized by the Seva Vanitha Army Branch (SVAB) was conducted at the SVAB auditorium Thursday (12) morning.
Those twenty five nuns were conducted to the venue in a colourful procession after their arrival at the main entrance to the Army Headquarters, replete with flag-bearers, dancers and drummers. Members of all regimental Seva Vanitha Units and Ladies Club Units, headed by Mrs Manjulika Jayasuriya, President, SVAB took part in the religious programme after those nuns were welcomed.
Alms, offerings and other requirements, donated by Seva Vanitha regimental units were given to those nuns by attendees in accordance with ancient traditions. A large gathering of SVAB members took part in the day’s programme.
