President Maithripala Sirisena said in his message in view of Poson day marked today, that our determination on this noble Poson full moon day should be to commit ourselves to make a better world through the discipline of mind, body and word.
The President further said that the day King Devanampiya Thissa relinquished the bow and arrow, our nation accessed into a path of a new life guided through the concept of Panchasheela, non-violence, compassion and loving-kindness.
President Sirisena said the guidance offered by Buddhism to live with a close relationship with the environment was a prime fact of safe existence, adding that it was when we deviated from the teachings of the Buddha that nature threatened us in return.
