Sri Lanka Dhamma Vihara Association Of Canberra Incorporated
One of the major programs run at the Vihara is the Dhamma School. This is held every Saturday morning and it encourages young Sri Lankan children to learn the Sinhalese language and most importantly teaches the Buddhism religion. This gives them a better understanding of their cultural beliefs and background. The classes at the Vihara have been a great success with 25 children already enrolled for the classes at the school.
Another initiative taken upon the Vihara is the importance held on full moon Poya days. Every month on Poya day the Vihara is filled with adults and children who observe sil. It has provided a place of worship for those dedicated to the religion and the success is shown.
There has been wide support from the Sri Lankan community in terms of offering the Buddha Puja in the evening of each day. This has been a great achievement considering the small population of Sri Lankans living in Canberra.
