Saying “ආයුබෝවන්” ("Ayubowan") is the Sinhalese way of greeting a person.

It is something like saying “Hello”, but in addition, it has a much wider meaning, i.e., wishing “May You Enjoy a Long Life”

EMPTY CANVAS

"I paint my dream, and then they, five aggregates & six senses, paint my life/world/samsara. But the canvas was empty all along. Realizing it is the Liberation of Mind"- Nalin

In the gallery of existence, I paint my dreams,

Brushstrokes of desire on life's silent streams.

Yet, the five aggregates, senses intertwined,

With hues unseen, color the canvas of the mind.

Each sensation, a stroke, a whispered melody,

They paint my journey, a surreal tapestry.

But gaze beyond the surface, the illusion so rife,

The canvas was empty, the essence of life.

In the emptiness, liberation takes flight,

Realizing the void, mind embraces the light.

Nirvana's sweet song, whispers in the hush,

An awakening to the canvas, the profound brush.

So, I paint my dream, let the aggregates play,

Yet in emptiness, find freedom's array.

The dance of senses, a transient display,

In the canvas of now, I find my own way.

සබ්බ පාපස්ස අකරණං, කුසලස්ස උප සම්පදා,

සචිත්ත පරියෝ දපනං, ඒතං බුද්ධානු සාසනං !!!

(සියලු පාපයන්ගෙන් මිදීමද, නිතර කුසල දහම් වැඩීමද, සිත පිරිසිදු කර ගැනීමද වන මෙය සියලු බුදුවරුන්ගේ අනුශාසනයයි)

The Law of Dependent Origination (පටිච්ච සමුප්පාද විවරණය):

"When this is, that is; This arising, that arises. When this is not, that is not; This ceasing, that ceases"

"Through ignorance are conditioned volitional actions or mental-formations
Through volitional actions is conditioned consciousness ▼
Through consciousness are conditioned mental (name) and physical (form) phenomena
Through mental and physical phenomena are conditioned the six senses (eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, mind)
Through the six sense is conditioned (sensorial and mental) contact
Through (sensorial and mental) contact is conditioned sensation (feeling).
Through sensation is conditioned desire (craving)
Through desire is conditioned clinging (attachment)
Through clinging is conditioned the process of becoming (Karmic force, volitional formation) ▼
Through the process of becoming is conditioned birth
Through birth are conditioned decay, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief and despair"
