Fanatical Buddhism rides deriding true Buddhism : Another foreign tourist deported for Buddha tattoo on body
(Lanka-e-News- 23.April.2014, 4.00PM) A British tourist who arrived in Sri Lanka yesterday (21) and who had on her right forearm tattooed the picture of Lord Buddha seated on a Lotus flower was deported yesterday . Though she arrived in Sri Lanka (SL) from India , the land of the birth of Lord Buddha , she had not suffered this cranky treatment while she was there .
This is the second time such a tourist has been deported for having the picture of Lord Buddha tattooed on the body . The tourist who was deported yesterday was 37 years old British national Ms. Michelle Cameline. When she arrived at the Katunayake airport , she was arrested and produced before the Negombo additional magistrate Thilakaratne Bandara of the MaRa court by the Airport police.
PC Dissanayake ( 38226) and the airport police sergeant W. A. D. Weerasinghe ( 64057) who filed charges against the tourist had mentioned in the indictment that, as the tattooed picture was on the right forearm and very visible to the public , it can trigger grave provocation and unrest among the public if she enters the country.
The Negombo additional magistrate Thilakaratne Bandara , one of the many buffoons of the MaRa kangaroo court who heard the case, displaying his stupidity and eccentricity instead of dispensing justice decided that she be immediately deported .He therefore ordered that the tourist be handed over to the Mirihana detention camp under the Immigration and Emigration department .
Mahinda Sugathadasa lawyer , and Indika Silva , senior lawyer appeared on behalf of the tourist.
The funniest part of this so called love shown to Lord Buddha was exposed thus : while this British tourist who knows nothing about Buddhism and who tattooed the picture of Lord Buddha on her body innocently is being harassed and sent back , the monk Pahalagama Somaratne Thero who ought to know Buddhism most and was found guilty for committing a most heinous crime of raping a girl and still serving a jail sentence of 8 years in Britain is allowed to continue to be in the SL sasana (Buddhist order).
Incidentally in 2012 , three French tourists were sentenced to 6 months in jail by the MaRa court and barred from visiting Sri Lanka (SL) for five years on charges of kissing a Buddha statue .
When the leader of the ruling regime who is slowly building a Buddhist fundamental government met the Mahanayake of the Asgiriya chapter recently after the Sinhala new year , the latter made an extremist request. The Mahanayake told , Buddha pictures are appearing in the printed newspapers without permission , and they are being used in hotels to wipe the hands which constitute an insult to Buddhism . Therefore laws must be enacted in relation to the pictures of Buddha being printed in the newspapers. The Prelate also handed over a petition supposedly signed by the people.
While the leader of the country is indulging in all the hypocritical acts in the name of religion to please the satanic groups of monks and promoting the corrupt side of Buddhism for cheap political gains in sharp contrast to the true pristine Buddhism preached by Lord Buddha , Ven. Weththewe Thero a Buddhist prelate was recently killed by his junior monk by stabbing him with a knife; and yesterday (22) , a 26 year old resident monk , Ven . Galagama Pangnassara Thero of Kandy Malwatte temple committed suicide by hanging.
