Thank You for Your Support

Thank you for your support.

Scotland’s Buddhist Vihara premises’ roof and structural work has been completed.
The work started in November 2007 and was completed by30th May 2008.The resident monks continued their Dhamma work while residing at 2002 Maryhill Road whilst the work continued..
After the roof and structural work was complete, we had to do our own painting and decorating. It took nearly a month to complete.

The resident monks did not have heating or hot water for nearly 9 days. They had to live in a messy and dusty atmosphere. On seeing their difficulties, very close friends and devotees of the Vihara started the decorating.

The monks greatly appreciated Mr & Mrs Murray’s hard work and time. They came all the way from the Scottish Borders and started the cleaning and decorating. Mr & Mrs Mudalige kindly provided the accommodation for them during their stay in Glasgow. Mr Ian Paton came to work on the vihara almost every day and sponsored the professional charges.

We are very grateful to Ms Shira Kirkhope for her love, kindness and generosity towards the project.

This wonderful place would not be open for the public so soon without the financial support of those named above and Mr & Mrs.Hemachandra, Dr & Mrs.Sirisena, Mr & Mrs B.D.Ginda ,Mrs Kodikara , Dr. Thin Thin Saing,Mr & Mrs Nalaka Ranasinghe and Mr. Maurice Bhuglah.

The volunteers did great work and now enjoy a beautiful Vihara.

The devotees appreciated the hard work of new resident monk Venerable Wimalananda (Podi Hamuduruvo,Wee Bhante)

May this merit give you happiness and good health.
