Peradeniya Hospital Burn’s Unit Launch

Posted on December 17, 2011October 25, 2015 by Ānandajoti

Since writing this I have moved all of Bhikkhu Sumedha’s teaching and paintings to a new site specially for his work, see: Bhikkhu Sumedha – His Teaching and Paintings

Bhikkhu Sumedha

Bhikkhu Sumedha’s final wish was to help to establish a Burn’s Unit at the Peradeniya Hospital, it was indeed because of this project that I finally got to meet him, as he wanted me to help him write an appeal.

Unfortunately he passed away before his last good deed could be accomplished. Now though friends of Bhikkhu Sumedha have set up a Trust Fund, and today an exhibition of his paintings will be held, a film made in his last weeks will be shown, and his book A Buddhist Perspective on Pain, Stress and Illness will be officially launched in Sri Lanka.

Both his lay friends and supporters, the Hospital authorities and the US Ambassador to Sri Lanka will attend, and we are hoping that with this commemorative event to set in motion the wheels that will lead to the establishment of the Unit.

If you can, please get along there, and if you are unable to attend, please consider going to the Bhikkhu Sumedha Trust website and making a donation to this very good cause.

Here is the full schedule:
