Personal Note:

On April 10, 2016, the Sinhala Translation of the Book ‘Buddhism in Ancient Israel and Arabia’ (by a Buddhist monk) was launched. I was invited by the hosts to deliver an introduction to this Book (which I did in English). I have attached some photos (selected) of the ceremony where the translation of the Book was launched.

I knew both Professor A.D.T.E. Perera as well as his son Dr. Harsha Perera (lawyer) very well.  They are staunch Buddhists.

May he attain the supreme bliss of Nirvāṇa.
