MCC - Program-Beware
MCC - Program-Beware
Aragalaya was a Bogus Unrest created by CIA of America.
MCC-Path Finder is a Sinister Program against our own Stable Constitution.
When
the Head is chopped off or Post of Presidency is taken off it is the
Clear Invitation for the L.T.T.E. rump to destabilize the country.
Ranjan Ramanayake and Subaskaran Allirajah are in this program.
Latter guy owns a TV channel. Suwaranawahini of EAP associated is currently owned by him.
Ranil Wickramasinghe
Milinda Moragoda former ambassador for India
Patali Champika Ranawaka
Our Gamme Ranil Anura
Lal Wijenayake
Haruni Amarasooriya
Many Lawyers including Romesh De Silva
Raj Soma Deva
Even some ACBC members - All Ceylon Buddhist Congress members were supporting this unnecessary revision of the Constitution.
Thankfully
Lal Wijenayake is no more but Haruni Amarasooriya is waiting for an
opportunity to put it through with 2/3rd majority.
They wanted to rush this through but failed.
It has to be confirmed by a referendum.
This Dalada Exposition was to hoodwink the Buddhist masses to get the 50% cross over at the referendum.
This
"Kunuharupa Guy" Sudath Thilkasiri was paid to do the dirty work for
NPP/ JVP.
He had some connections with the Diyawadena Nilame, Dela
Bandara to vie for change of constitution.
Within two years Ranil prepared everything including debt crisis to promote himself to come to power.
INDIA and MODI are fully behind this CIA project so he could declare Ceylon as a Province of Maha Baratha.
There is a guy with a Tamil sounding name (Raj Somadeva) who is distorting our history.
While Indika Thotawatta is doing the destruction to Theravada Buddhism.
He has some help from a few disgruntled monks who are in this sinister program.
Aragalaya and Cardinal Cooray is deeply involved in this Conspiracy.
Aragala or System Change was well organized program and Stupid Gotabaya was the scapegoat.
Only Opposition
Kumara Chapa Bandara
In Nidhahas Lanka
Project Proposal
Take out the protection provided for Buddhism
While this is happening British Museum does not release the Thripitaka and Hela Atuwa that belonged to us locked up in a cabinet.
It is the Universal Buddhist Text that is locked up in United Kingdom.
I was caught to Lal Wijenayake's underground work program but I repeatedly requested a draft copy to study but he never obliged.
BEWARE.
Raj Somadeva Tom Pachayek - Jayaratne Pathiraarachchi
Raj Somadeva Tom Pachayek - Jayaratne Pathiraarachchi
Jararatne Pathiraarachchi states that Raj Somadeva's book is a Pacha Pothak or "Cheat Book of Ceylon History".
My investigation revealed that he gets bonus money from India.
I am on full onslaught on India and any who bum-suck an Indian or promote Indian interests including Anura Dissanayake who are under my vigorously scrutiny until my death.
I will certainly will not be born again in CEYLON and all my actions are during this life, so that nothing outstanding is left for my Next life.
I am ashamed to be born with these guys again in Ceylon with their descendants.

Paranavithana the British Parasite
Raj Soma Deva the L. T. T. E. Strategist.
Mevapalane Dhammanada Copyright Hora
Bokken Kleppe the Norwegian Hora
Various YouTube Guys
Jayaratne Pathiraarchchi upsets a Hornet Nest
Jayaratne Pathiraarchchi is a clever guy.
He upsets a hornet nest and move away to a neutral zone.
Hornets who are the Buddhist monks do not know where to find the Queen Bee.
The current SAGA is the end result.
Guys in the Archeology department who are paper tigers who depend on Paranavithana who was British agent who distorted over 500 stone edits or SelLip to please Kings and Queens are wetting their pants when errors of commission are exposed by guy who is a simple guy but who knows how to read the contents letter by letter. His interpretation may be far fetched.
But bottom line is he claims that Buddha was born in Ceylon.
He did want claim this but nobody wanted to listen.
Buddhist monks tooks guns on him and he was put in Ungoda to stymie him.
That put the flame on all the corrupt monks who bear children and some possessing undeclared income.
He has timed this to 2035 when he expects to be not alive.
But some monks have jump the gun each one is getting a thumping Resume from Jayaratne Pathiraarchchi.
Evrything is in flames.
Thank god I am out of Ceylon but having an eagle eye.
By the way, my interests are on Dhamma.
History is immaterial to me.
But I claim British distorted everthing including Buddhism to suit the kinngs and the queens.
That is the bottom line.
Global Analysis of Ceylon Issue
There are three issues people forget when we anslyse a Postindepenve after over 150 year lapse.
1.Number one is King or Queen
2. Number Two is Church
3. After the Second World War a third factor came in which is CIA.
Above three factors had overall control and none of them want bear the top secrets.
So they develiped a clientele that subservient to the above under which Archeology Department was developed and they were made to believe sacrosanct which is not true.
4. The occupiers plundered everything including artifacts.
They could be collectively named as "Nidhan Horu" that exyend up to present day Anura Dissanayake.
5. Chief of this Nidhan Horu are the Indians and their vested interest.
That is when Indians put salt on a festing wound which is L. T. T. E. Saga gets slowly exposed.
This is a political game.
Indians are interedted in what majority of Buddhist monks are thinking.
As a project plan they promote s few of them who may favoir their plan including "Vandana Nade" visits thay fill their coffers.
That is the determing factor.
So they muddy the water but all out to dedtroy Renaissance of Buddhism in Ceylon.
What they fear most is the RAVANA Renaissance which is devastating to thier forged literature and history.

Why not Digitalize your Politician?

Why not Digitalize your Politician?
How to become a Successful Politician
I
was getting totally fed up of all politics both local and global,
mainly because it effected my writing habits, especially books.
I was particularly interested in Election in USA.
Local election, I knew the outcome well in advance and the total lack
of political will of the opposition.
They were all geared up for the big post and spent all their money, resources and time, on that post.
Burnt out Syndrome!
They forgot that in parliamentary democracy what is important is vibrant opposition.
I say our citizen's are stupid enough to give 2/3rd majority.
I was particularly interested in ousting corrupt War Mongering Democrats.
It has come good but very soon MIC with it's might will turn Donald Trump into War Footing, starting from Israel to begin with.
Ukraine has become a dead end for Americans but EU guys with twisted tongue will continue to carry the War Flames.
This was of course a dream.
This is the Topic of my next book, too.
It has some caveats.
Book won't be published but only on digital form.
If
any body wants a copy FREE, he or she has to read one of my old books
and send me an email to the email address given, in that book in the
last page of the book.
Let me say, it is a Yahoo Mail opened well before Gmail.
I
have never got an email in respond to any of my books published, either
due to nobody has read it / them at all or s/he has not read the last
few pages.
Then they have to find this blog site (I have not given any clues) and quote the latest blog piece to qualify for a free book.
Idea is to promote this site and not my books.
Let me say a few words to the guys who were selected to the Parliament in Ceylon.
1. Will they pass a bill to cancel pensions for MPs?
This is to save money for the coffers to begin with.
This has to be done before they take over the official residences of past presidents.
I bet that they cannot get this piece passed in the present parliament.
Reasons are many.
a) The privileges for a MP far exceed any CEO in America.
b) When they see the comforts provided to the MPs in the present parliament, no one would blame Pxxxxx Nanayakkara (who lost his seat for the first time and he was a List MP not answerable to any average citizen.
He brought filth to the parliament for the first time.
His crave and stamina to last so long without repugnance is astounding.
c) They will never get 2/3rd majority for this bill.
At worst they would say they would introduce this "no pension for MPs" in the next constitution.
To read about my dream one has to read my digital book.
This book is given free to anybody including present parliamentarians to promote Total Digitization of Government Activities.
This government promised digitization and I want to see how they would do it, successfully.
I will not dish out or volunteer how it can be done being a fully digital man for ages.
Trinity Desktop- Q4OS
I have never used it, probably I have given up on Trinity (old) and KDE (bulky). Currently downloading them
It is maintained by a nice Spanish guy.
It is not lean and is bigger than LXQT
It is Window like and easy for a guy who comes from Windows.
It has the NEXT and NEXT approach of Windows.
Trinity desktop has the ability to install any application free and proprietary.
One can install synaptic package manager and abiword.
But I prefer the modern looking KDE but it lacks applications.
Lot of hard work to get things going.
Thank you Google blog spot for letting me paste images in this blog piece.
Trinity Desktop- Q4OS
Q4OS is a Debian-based desktop Linux distribution designed to offer classic-style user interface (Trinity) and simple accessories, and to serve stable APIs for complex third-party applications, such as Google Chrome, Virtual Box and development tools.
The system is also very useful for virtual cloud environments due to its very low hardware requirements.
Trinity desktop option
lightweight, fast, efficient, in many ways surpasses competition. In our
opinion, a highly underrated desktop environment. Mainstream Linux
distributions don't support Trinity at all, but we love it so much, that
Trinity is even a dedicated download option, right after the default
Plasma desktop.
Dual desktop ready
a unique alternative that makes possible setting up multiple desktop environments, typically Plasma and Trinity, side by side without interfering with each other. Carefully separated, ready to run as required, waiting for action. Just select the desired one at login time .. read more
A screenshot of the Q4OS Centaurus installer running on Windows
Windows installer
an exclusive way to put Linux alongside Windows. Just run a setup wizard from within Windows and install Q4OS as easily as any other application. Although installed within windows, Q4OS kernel takes full control of the hardware. That is much more efficient than running a virtual machine .. read more
Visual themes, Lookswitcher
would you like to change the default desktop look and feel ? Install Lookswitcher from the software center to get a few original desktop themes and a one-click tool to easily switch between them. Select a theme you like and enjoy the new desktop appearance.

Q4OS
Q4OS
Q4OS is a fast and friendly, desktop oriented operating system based on Debian Linux.
It deploys Plasma, optionally Trinity, as desktop
environment on top of Debian Linux rock stable base.
The goal is to provide long-term supported system with a special
emphasis on security. This is exactly what Debian base guarantees. We
prefer the Debian development model to keep the core system as immutable
as possible. It results in a reliable and stable system that you can
definitely rely on.
Thanks to unique Q4OS tools a user can rather easily achieve setup of a
fitted system eliminating superfluous packages and libraries. Therefore
Q4OS performs faster and more efficient, doesn't exploit memory and
computing resources with useless tasks and processes.
Another exclusive Q4OS feature is an optimized support for setting up
Trinity desktop environment alongside the default Plasma desktop.
Installed side by side, carefully separated, both ready to run as
needed. Just select one at login.
Features
- Debian rock stable base
- Plasma desktop
- Trinity desktop option
- Dual desktop setup possible, even optimized
- Exclusive dedicated Q4OS tools
- Great applications
- Windows installer

Coronavirus Vaccine abreaction 5 years after Moderna Vaccine
This is just to record that I am currently suffering from teno-synovitis related to Moderna Vaccine, I received 5 years ago in Ceylon under Gotabaya Regime.
I hope Robert Kennedy, Junior take a note.
I hope President Donald Trump put that Anthony Fousy guy in prison for 10 years.
There should be no "Gain in Function" in China or any other country.
My book in 2020 stated that this virus lasts 20 years with or without a vaccine and the economic recovery would falter long after the pandemic.
It takes nearly 20 years for a robust vaccine to emerge.
Ceylon is a classic example and currently the recovery is adjusted to 2050.
I agree with Jayaratne Pathiraarchchi that the recovery or Diya Sena Kumaraya has to rest until 2050, lest he is ousted like Gotabaya.
Ranil Wickramasinghe agrees and he won't last till then unless complete overall of all his body parts are made.
My son says his brain should be transplanted but YET the technology does not exists,
I hear rumours that President Putin and President Xi are contemplating body overall and a master plan is already in situ.
There won't be any head rolls as expected by President Biden.
Only policy rolls to be talked about.
There aren't any diplomatic guys in USA or UK but morons left.

Amaratica muscaria
It is said alcohol was first made by the British using Amaratica muscaria found from the Soma Deva Lena.
Raj Soma Deva your name origintes from alcohol.
I know archeologist are well known drunkards in Ceylon.
Paranavithana is a clasic example and his gregarious mistskes should not be mistruued as alcohol addiction.
They were deliberate attempts to misguide and leave astray a novice.
Archeology has to be rewritten.
Jayaratne Pathiraarchchi had taken the bold and correct steps.
Help him will you.
කුරුළු විමානය අපේ ලංකා Bird Santuary
In early 1880s I was born as a British Visitor to Ceylon.
I came here to Ceylon to investigate ALL types of birds.
I tabulated over 250 birds and was interested mainly in humming birds.
Do not ask me how I got into this stage.
This is certainly not meditation or self hallucinations brought on by some crafty meditation practice.
I have left documentary evidence in books, not like Jayaratne Pathiraarchchi's Sel-Lipi or stone edits.
I say it is in my genes and not in my bones.
Yes, I did a solitary visit to Bird Park in Singapore.
I hated that place and the Chinese inhumane methods.
My visit was to see why our sparrows disappeared.
All due to Rajapaksa's pesticides policy.
Those pesticides get deposited in the ovaries and in one generation they are gone or virtually decimated.
Now in Australia we live a bird's friendly region and I wake up at 4.30AM to birds singing just like in Ceylon but won't go for a cup of tea until well past 9AM.
It is cold but not as in UK.
I could not stand English winter.
There are only a few migratory birds there in UK during summer.
I did not go there for bird watching but for higher studies and I hardly learn a few things while in there.
Arterial infusion or the Oxford Method for which I was practically reprimanded by Dr. Cheetham and Dr. Fleet.
Those Guys could not diagnose appendicitis, intususception, leukemia and bone sarcoma.
High Wickam Hospital is a Surgical Unit now and no pediatrics there.
Birds books may be still available in libraries in India.
There is still a Oxford Printing Unit in India to dish out English Publications.
Indians bum-suck British, American and Russian but not Chinese.
I have never been to India and I would not.
In this life I was only interested in woodpeckers and their extinction.
Rajapaksa Regime's "Gas Kollaya" or clearing of forest to dig in for old treasures or NIDHANA Was The Result of Decimation of our BIRDS.
I enlisted the types of woodpeckers in my book "Living with Nature".
Indian Oriole was not my interest but our Yellow Oriole was my interest.
Ceylon Oriole is called black hooded oriole.
I was totally against Rajapaksa Regime and its High Ways Policy as a nature lover.
Not like JVP guys who were worried that dogs could not cross the highway.
Dogs are much more smarter than NPP/JVP guys who kill their fellow beings on Karl Marx rhetoric.
Dogs is the man best friend and NPP is the man's enemy now in power.
A dog book is coming soon to satisfy Maha Brahma who loves human dreams.
It took lot of time and there are three class dogs.
No Indian.
Russian dog.
American dog
Ceylonese dog
Lot of Demented dogs
The book was written to illustrate how bad we treat dogs in Ceylon.
But unlike JVP/NPP who hate humanity our "Paraya" or stray dogs do not hate us.
HATE is the Theme of NPP/JVP.
METTA is the Theme in Buddhism.
These guys have not read even single verse in Dhammpada.
That is the bottom line.
I made my young explorers to walk from Maussakele dam in Maskeliya to Nallathambi of Sri Pada.
- The dam in Maskeliya is known as the Maussakelle Dam and also creates the Maskeliya Reservoir. It is a crucial component of Sri Lanka's Laxapana Hydropower Complex, forming the highest point and beginning of the complex.
- Name: Maussakelle Dam (also known as the Maskeliya Dam)
- Purpose: It is a large gravity dam that creates the Maskeliya Reservoir.
- Location: It is located in Maskeliya, in the Central Province of Sri Lanka
- Significance: The dam is a vital part of Sri Lanka's hydropower infrastructure, supporting energy production, irrigation, and regional water management. It also provides scenic views and access to hiking trails in the surrounding hills, including to Adam's Peak.
The Tamil driver was drunk.
I had the premonition of a bus would crash.
Sure enough when we reached Nallathsmbi the bus had crashed due to overload and there were two serious head injuries.
Bus was in fair conditions after a through check I took them to Nuwela Eliya Hospita by the same bus.
None would volunteer.
The hospital was in very bad shape.
Fortuitously, my rickety French car called Peugeot was in Nuwara Eliya loaned to my Bil.
I got my Bil to bring the young one under 12 down to Kandy once he was stabilized.
I never used a cellphone and our land phone was overused and was available for social services but never for chit chat by young girls.
In fact, එක දිනයක when I returned for early ලුන්ච්, an unknown girl was on the phone.
She was not polite enough and was on phone regardless and I said; "Get out before You are thrown out".
She probably wet her pants and sure enough nobody of that age group came in again.
I was paying the telephone bill and my salary in Ceylon was not enough to foot the bill then.
I was drawing in from my saving from UK.
While I was nice to the nature I could be ruthless to the rowdy.
No wonder, I got the nick name "Head Master" in no time in the University.
Let me not talk about the standard of an average "A " Level student which is below par.
Our status is Down below 1500 and rapidly sinking under NPP.
If JVP/NPP stay in power more than 2 years it will reach 2000 due simply to inaction.
They are brain dead guys but are totally jaundiced.

Celestial Systems
විශ්ව පද්දතින්
ඇත්ත දළදා වහන්සේ කොහිද?
Kandy Temple does not have the Real Dhanta Dhatu.
It is a replica.
Bamabaralle Rathansjothi thera in the middle of the night removed it and escaped from Madamahanuwra to Hunnasgiriya and to Teldeniya and Bambaragala.
Nobody knows where it is now.
When the time is right may be in 2035 or 2050 it will be brought back to Kandy when conditions are suitable.
I do not think I will live that long.
I do not think I would visit Ceylon again in this life or in a futire life.
I am not destined for such eventuality.
Ranil who has had read archeological artifacts. That is why he says Ceylon will be super rich country with the help of Americans, in 2048.
I do not think he will live up to that time to see it himself.
He is a pain of this country but Anura Dissanayske will be the worse in the modern Ceylon history.
Crime;
Declaring this counyry Niragamika at the behest of Tamil Diaspora.
Country without religion in his address to the Parliament according to Karl Marx.
He won't last two years with dollar hitting 400.
Their plan accoding to Chinese advice is to stay in power for 25 years.
Chinese has henetic tendency to destroy Buddhism just like Indians.
I could not figure out how many world systems and how many types of alien beings.
It varied going upto 31 and I added up to 36 by adding varios local and Indian gods including Vishnu and Krishna.
I wanted to list them in my book Buddhist Celestials. It is available at Amazon books and I openly declared it contents are taken from various public sources and could not verify from book sources.
Now I get a new figure 34.
This is according to the belief that 34 Devas visited Earth to receive the 34 teeth at the end of Parinibbhana.
If one deva is looking after Temple of the Tooth, I get a figure 33. I do not think a Deva would waste time looking after a very corrupt place.
I lived next to the temple.
I believe there is only a casket without the real tooth.
If at all, it is a replica and monks did not trust the British. They hid it and it will come to public disoaly only if a real Buddhist Leader emerges.
The current Temple of the Tooth does not have the real Buddha Tooth.
That is why I have no protest against the historically currupt Dela Banndara from Saman to Kataragsma Devalaya.
Since there are at least 4 Devas without body form it boils down to 30 Deva Lokas of Celestial Places in total.
My undederstanding is these 4 Devas do not need a place to live or like quantum forms of enorminty and subtle.
One is free to visit this blog site for their names which I cannot remember by heart.
It is strange that Buddha having 34 teeth corresponding to the World Systems.

Thawthissa Diviya Lokaya is Toppigala
Toppigala is Thawtissa Divya Lokays and that is wjy L. T. T. E. wanted it destroyed but they failed.
There is enough records left and nobody except Jayaratne Pathiraarchchi is interested in investigating where really Buddha was born.
Nepal is a traditionally a Hindu country.
Under MaO influnce it became a communist country.
For a short period Buddhism survived there?
Could anybody with right sense believe Buddha would be born in a landlocked country?
Only Indians with cooked up artifacts would want Buddha to be born there.
So the "Nade" or groups fron Ceylon will travel there improving its economy.
The problem then arises, all the history distorted by Buddhagosha and Mananama are exposed and all the Indian sordid aims to distort Ceylon history is exposed bare.
All what indian authors wrote become "null and void".
My stance here is never believe a word an Indian utter in the present and in the past.
Then only the TRUTH is exposed without any attached literature by Mahanama or Buddhagosha.
This is what Jayaratne Pathiraarchchi has tried in vain.
I am exposing the scientific and correct interpretation by him.
He was trying to established this over 50 years.
The biggest obstscle is our impotent Archeology Department from the time of Paranavithana.
Paranavithana of course by distorting and wronng interpretation subdued the fact that Buddha was born in Ceylon.
Jayaratne Pathiraarchchi has enough SelLipi records to prove.
I do not know who instiaged this "Patanavitana Saga", most likely British Army officers who provided wrong information to all the kings and queens of England.
Now there is a brand new King and Queen it is time to recognize the errors of commission and rectify the errors in the name of science of history.
I do not believe it would happen under Keith Starmer.
He (J. P.) is a guy who possesses extreme courage and strength to satnd against some Buddhist monks who are driven the wrong path. Monks do not like to admit they drove their layman on the wrong path.
Besides, the money that flow to their tills would dry if Ceylonese stop going to India.
I was stranded one night in Bombey on my way to London by Sri-Liakan Airways connection flight. I was bitten by Malaria mosquitoes in the airpory lounge and ever since bypassed India when flying.
This incident provided a good reference point.
දිය කොල්ලය නොහොත් Jala Rakusa Agreement with India
Chadrika in 1995 was getting ready to sell our water resources to Ameica for debt exchange and I got activated and posted my first English Paper article. She would not read a Sinhala article.
I said our history is bound to Wewa, Dagaba and Wanaya.
All three are important and my major concern was wanton distruction of the jungle which would result in rsin ceycle and ultimately drying up of tanks. I can remember J. V. P. took this to heart and they were able to resurrect only thtee (3) tanks during their tenure with Chadrika.
They were not effient then and it is worse when in power.
My gut feeling is Anura Dissanayske has already signed a pact to sell water to India.
This guy Champika Ranawaka who is an ace crook did under MCC has already during 2005 prepared the legislature.
Ranil Wickrsmasinghe who thinkd Ceylonbis his private property carried forward this project amd Anura Dissanayske is making the final touches.
I am out of the country but keep some vigil with Jayaratne Pathiraarchchi Ravana Vision and our total heritage.
I did work for IMMI which later changed to WMI for a short period. Under this pretext Amerca wanted to lainch a satellite and that satellite was under my care.
RAW tried to kill me and DJVP was used as their proxy.
My hate towsrds India and DJVP that started then remains to this day.
India was to exploits Ceylon from RAVANA times.
This is the rrason I am revistiong RAVNA a book is im the offing.
Collecting scientific data at the moment not filklore.
As far as I can see only Kumara Chapa Bandara has voiced some concern.
I have a book in Amazon "Water Logics and Water Politics of Sri-Lanka long time ago and no uodates done.
If under plans Water Companies are made India wil purchase total water wuabtity of Ceylon.
Champika and Rsnil shoukd be put to prision for life.
That is why I say these two should not ever represented in the Parliament
NEVER.
Ranil is trying to creep in again.
Getting him back to Parliament is a Big Crime.

Problem is with the PC Computer
Google provides a Sinhala font but it is not available for me to write a single line.

Aragalaya was a Bogus Unrest created by CIA of America.
MCC-Path Finder is a Sinister Program against our own Stable Constitution.
When
the Head is chopped off or Post of Presidency is taken off it is the
Clear Invitation for the L.T.T.E. rump to destabilize the country.
Ranjan Ramanayake and Subaskaran Allirajah are in this program.
Latter guy owns a TV channel. Suwaranawahini of EAP associated is currently owned by him.
Ranil Wickramasinghe
Milinda Moragoda former ambassador for India
Patali Champika Ranawaka
Our Gamme Ranil Anura
Lal Wijenayake
Haruni Amarasooriya
Many Lawyers including Romesh De Silva
Even some ACBC members - All Ceylon Buddhist Congress members were supporting this unnecessary revision of the Constitution.
Thankfully
Lal Wijenayake is no more but Haruni Amarasooriya is waiting for an
opportunity to put it through with 2/3rd majority.
They wanted to rush this through but failed.
It has to be confirmed by a referendum.
This Dalada Exposition was to hoodwink the Buddhist masses to get the 50% cross over at the referendum.
This
"Kunuharupa Guy" Sudath Thilkasiri was paid to do the dirty work for
NPP/ JVP.
He had some connections with the Diyawadena Nilame, Dela
Bandara to vie for change of constitution.
Within two years Ranil prepared everything including debt crisis to promote himself to come to power.
INDIA and MODI are fully behind this CIA project so he could declare Ceylon as a Province of Maha Baratha.
There is a guy with a Tamil sounding name (Raj Somadeva) who is distorting our history.
While Indika Thotawatta is doing the destruction to Theravada Buddhism.
He has some help from a few disgruntled monks who are in this sinister program.
Aragalaya and Cardinal Cooray is deeply involved in this Conspiracy.
Aragala or System Change was well organized program and Stupid Gotabaya was the scapegoat.
Only Opposition
Kumara Chapa Bandara

Take out the protection provided for Buddhism
While this is happening British Museum does not release the Thripitaka and Hela Atuwa that belonged to us locked up in a cabinet.
It is the Universal Buddhist Text that is locked up in United Kingdom.
I was caught to Lal Wijenayake's underground work program but I repeatedly requested a draft copy to study but he never obliged.

How true is this statement to the Current and Old political leaders.
Below is the contextual nature of the beings in the universe (not only this World Order), aliens included who do visit us roughly in 5000 year cycles.
Buddhist do not fear any beings Worldly or Otherwise (Gods or Peta included).
No need to pay or offer Puja to any Worldly being/s including current or future political leaders (included).
Namarupa
Abhidhamma meaning.
This compound should be understood as NAMA alone. RUPA alone and NAMARUPA together.
In the case of Arupa planes there arises only Mind, in the case of Asanna planes (only matter-Mindless) and in the case of Kama Rupa planes both mind and matter.
The Nama are meant the three aggregates, of Vedana, Sanna and Sankhara.

Buddhist Cosmology-I got 31 Planes including Humans.
A summary of Buddhist cosmology is given below.
Planes of Existences
There are 31 planes of existence.
They are four states of Unhappiness (Dugati)
1. Niraya
2. Tiracchana Yoni (animal Kingdom)
3. Peta yoni
4. Asura Yoni
Four happy states (Sugati)
1. Manusa
2. Six Devalokas
3. 16 Rupalokas
4. 4 Arupalokas
The Thirty One Planes of Existence
Scattered throughout the suttas are references to as many as thirty-one distinct "planes" or "realms" of existence into which beings can be reborn during their long wandering through Samsara.
These range from the extraordinarily grim and painful hell realms all the way up to the most exquisitely refined and blissful heaven realms.
Existence in every realm is temporary; in Buddhist cosmology there is no eternal heaven or hell.
Beings are born into a particular realm according to their past kamma.
When they pass away, they take rebirth once again elsewhere according to the quality of their kamma: wholesome actions bring about a favorable rebirth, while unwholesome actions lead to an unfavorable one and so the wearisome cycle continues.
The realms of existence are customarily divided into three distinct "worlds" (loka), listed here in descending order of refinement:
The Immaterial World (arupa-loka).
Consists of four realms that are accessible to those who pass away while meditating in the formless Jhanas.
The Fine-Material World (rupa-loka).
Consists of sixteen realms whose inhabitants (the devas) experience extremely refined degrees of mental pleasure. These realms are accessible to those who have attained at least some level of Jhana and who have thereby managed to (temporarily) suppress hatred and ill-will. They are said to possess extremely refined bodies of pure light. The highest of these realms, the Pure Abodes, are accessible only to those who have attained to "non-returning," the third stage of Awakening. The Fine-Material World and the Immaterial World together constitute the "heavens" (sagga).
The Sensuous World (kama-loka).
Consists of eleven realms in which experience — both pleasurable and not — is dominated by the five senses. Seven of these realms are favorable destinations, and include our own human realm as well as several realms occupied by devas.
The lowest realms are the four "bad" destinations, which include the animal and hell realms.

Rarity of Humanoids
Human beings (manussa loka)
Rebirth as a human being is extraordinarily rare.
The assumption here is there are only 5 types of humanoids in only five planets.
Below is a reproduction of various types of beings in the universe or galaxies

3. The Sensuous World (kama-loka)
Consists of eleven realms in which experience — both pleasurable and not — is dominated by the five senses. Seven of these realms are favorable destinations, and include our own human realm as well as several realms occupied by devas.
The lowest realms are the four "bad" destinations, which include the animal and hell realms.
I. The Immaterial World (arupa-loka)
Realm Comments Cause of rebirth here
(31) Neither-perception-nor-non-perception (nevasaññanasaññayatanupaga deva)
(30) Nothingness (akiñcaññayatanupaga deva)
(29) Infinite Consciousness (viññanañcayatanupaga deva)
(28) Infinite Space (akasanañcayatanupaga deva)
The inhabitants of these realms are possessed entirely of mind.
Having no physical body, they are unable to hear Dhamma teachings.
II. The Fine-Material World (rupa-loka)
(27) Peerless devas (akanittha deva)
These are the five Pure Abodes (suddhavasa), which are accessible only to non-returners (anagami) and arahants. Beings who become non-returners in other planes are reborn here, where they attain arahantship.
Among its inhabitants is Brahma Sahampati, who begs the Buddha to teach Dhamma to the world
(26) Clear-sighted devas (sudassi deva)
(25) Beautiful devas (sudassa deva)
(24) Untroubled devas (atappa deva)
(23) Devas not Falling Away (aviha deva)
(22) Unconscious beings (asaññasatta)
Only body is present; no mind.
(21) Very Fruitful devas (vehapphala deva)
Beings in these planes enjoy varying degrees of jhanic bliss.
(20) Devas of Refulgent Glory (subhakinna deva)
(19) Devas of Unbounded Glory (appamanasubha deva)
(18) Devas of Limited Glory (parittasubha deva)
(17) Devas of Streaming Radiance (abhassara deva)
(16) Devas of Unbounded Radiance (appamanabha deva)
(15) Devas of Limited Radiance (parittabha deva)
(14) Great Brahmas (Maha brahma)
One of this realm's most famous inhabitants is the Great Brahma, a deity whose delusion leads him to regard himself as the all-powerful, all-seeing creator of the universe
(13) Ministers of Brahma (brahma-purohita deva)
Beings in these planes enjoy varying degrees of jhanic bliss.
(12) Retinue of Brahma (brahma-parisajja deva)
III. The Sensuous World (kama-loka)
Happy Destinations (sugati)
(11) Devas Wielding Power over the Creation of Others (paranimmita-vasavatti deva)
These devas enjoy sense pleasures created by others for them.
Mara, the personification of delusion and desire, lives here.
(10) Devas Delighting in Creation (nimmanarati deva)
These devas delight in the sense objects of their own creation.
(9) Contented devas (tusita deva)
A realm of pure delight and gaiety.
Bodhisattas abide here prior to their final human birth.
This is where the bodhisatta Maitreya (Metteya), the next Buddha, is said to dwell.
(8) Yama devas (yama deva)
These devas live in the air, free of all difficulties.
(7) The Thirty-three Gods (tavatimsa deva)
Sakka, a devotee of the Buddha, presides over this realm.
Many devas dwelling here live in mansions in the air.
(6) Devas of the Four Great Kings (catumaharajika deva)
Home of the gandhabbas, the celestial musicians, and the yakkhas, tree spirits of varying degrees of ethical purity.
The latter are analogous to the goblins, trolls, and fairies of Western fairy tales.
(5) Human beings (manussa loka)
Rebirth as a human being is extraordinarily rare.
It is also extraordinarily precious, as its unique balance of pleasure and pain facilitates the development of virtue and wisdom to the degree necessary to set one free from the entire cycle of rebirths.
The development of virtue and wisdom
The attainment of stream-entry (sotapatti) guarantees that all future rebirths will be in the human or higher realms.
States of Deprivation (apaya)
(4) Asuras (asura)
The demons — "titans" — that dwell here are engaged in relentless conflict with each other.
(3) Hungry Shades/Ghosts (peta loka)
Ghosts and unhappy spirits wander hopelessly about this realm, searching in vain for sensual fulfillment.
(2) Animals (tiracchana yoni)
This realm includes all the non-human forms of life that are visible to us under ordinary circumstances: animals, insects, fish, birds, worms, etc.
(1) Hell (niraya)
These are realms of unimaginable suffering and anguish.
Should not be confused with the eternal hell found in other religious traditions, since one's time here is — as it is in every realm — temporary.
Heaven
In Buddhist cosmology, the heaven realms are blissful abodes whose present inhabitants (the devas) gained rebirth there through the power of their past meritorious actions.
Like all beings still caught in samsara, however, these deities eventually succumb to aging, illness, and death, and must eventually take rebirth in other realms — pleasant or otherwise — according to the quality and strength of their past kamma.
The devas are not always especially knowledgeable or spiritually mature — in fact many are quite intoxicated by their sensual indulgences — and none are considered worthy of veneration or worship.
Nevertheless, the devas and their happy realms stand as important reminders to us both of the happy benefits that ensue from the performance of skillful and meritorious deeds and, finally, of the ultimate shortcomings of sensuality.

A Scientific Thinker like me!
I differ from most other posters in not being as optimistic in the following areas:
AI has been egged up a bit. Frankly, we haven’t cracked it. knowledge & language base is one thing but AI it isn’t, still 10 years away, minimum.
Quantum computing. yes there is emerging hardware, but the software required to run it is mind boggling, 10 years away, minimum.
Inter stellar transport. Not even close, 2 orders of scientific discovery away, 50 years away at least. If we aren’t careful by the time we’ve cracked it, this planet will be so surrounded by old junk satellites we won’t be able to leave this old rock!

The Lifespan of Advanced Civilizations
A very short lifespan for advanced civilizations may be a realistic probability because as our own case shows, technology mushrooms very rapidly and is accompanied by many dangerous effects such as;
1. Overpopulation
2. Depletion of natural resources
3. Pollution and worse of all
4. Rapid escalation of nuclear stockpiles which can easily reach the level where they are capable of wiping out the whole population of a planet.
By the same token, if we were to find significant number of other advanced civilizations in our galaxy it would mean that some at least had been able to overcome the dangers that are now looming over our own civilizations.
If they have reached this advanced stage, it would mean that they have been able discard all of their animistic (BARBARISM) attributes such as materialism, selfishness, territoriality, dominance over others and killing instincts which in a technological civilizations are likely to lead to self destruction.
They would have been able to to mature into higher levels of cosmic intelligence characterized by spirituality, altruism, respect of others, adherence to peace and love for each other.
Joining such a galactic society would indeed be a colossal step forward in the intellectual and ethical evolution of our civilization.
This might also be the reason why we have not yet heard from any such advanced civilizations as may exist.
There must be a galactic rule that says that before a new civilization is invited to join the galactic society it must show that it is able to overcome the major crisis that probably befall all new technological civilizations.
Since we are still in the midst of this evolutionary problem, there may be advanced civilizations waiting to see how we do before inviting us to join the galactic society of advanced civilizations.
Order of the Universe and the World Systems
This is my analysis of the Universe and the World Systems in a theoretical sense.
It is enormously large but its fundamentals can be understood, if we disregard the current themes and dogmatic expressions which are controlled by the religions that exists today.
I will make reference to Buddhist cosmology below to complete the discussions.
I have discussed them, not in detail, in some of my books, for the New Science to emerge from the ashes.
Even Einstein was reprimanded by the Church, discussing them except the Material World according to, a Big Bang, which suits the Church.
Creating material form from nothing without an antecedent.
Something from nothing is bete noire or anathema to me.
I have avoided discussing them except asking the pertinent question, “Who created the God”, in my childhood, knowing very well nobody would answer the question posed.
My in born talent was ability for vivid imagination, and nobody has inspired me in my childhood.
I could figure out mathematics and physics with ease but I did not know my fellow students we struggling with simple arithmetic. I thought the guys were equally capable till lately my friends in retirement, alerted to that fallacy of my estimates.
I fitted with the lot, not asking probing questions (I was thrown out of the class several times, asking questions, the teachers could not answer and which made them "red hot") in my childhood, just to save me from labeled as insane.
This is what the Church does if, the dogma is challenged, he/she excommunicated in broad day light (covertly, if not overtly).
The preamble is necessary, before I summarize my current concepts which are subjected to challenge with alternatives.
1. The current world order and the past world order is/was in a state of flux.
It has always being.
2. Matter is small (less than 5%) and the Dark Matter and Dark Energy is huge.
3. There is an interchange of dark matter to matter and vice versa. This is where the state of flux works in tandem.
4. The relative stability is an illusion, since the conversion is very very slow, which a modern camera cannot catch.
In that sense I am against, a big change or a big bang.
5. A camera image now taken is an old incident million light years in count.
We cannot capture the present in any sense.
This is where vivid imagination is essential to figure out the past, the present and the future in a scientific sense.
So my choice of biological science instead of physics was a fortunate coincidence.
We did not have satellite images then.
I viewed few satellite images and made my rough sketch of the universe and the concepts, below.
6. We ignored the Dark Matter.
7. We had theories for Matter only.
8. Expansion of the universe was ignored.
9. Dark Matter and the Dark Energy cause the expansion, just as well, lest there is a Big Crunch (opposite of Big Bang)
10. Even in some galaxies now viewed from images there is dark matter inside.
That is my crunch point.
11. Dark matter is eating up the matter albeit slowly (a conversion point) in the midst of matter.
12. The dark matter is converted (convergent point) to matter in the periphery of the galaxies, most likely, giving a semblance of stability, in a state of flux situation.
13. The matter can be swallowed by a Dark Hole in a matter of seconds.
14. What prevents this is the expansion, geared by dark energy.
15. What we know is little, what we do not is enormous.
So I have put the essence of New Science in 15 points albeit one or two misconceptions or inaccuracies which are subjected to alternative views.
In Buddhist cosmology, there is nothing on matter or dark matter.
It is all about Mental Culture that can permeate matter and space by Mental Energy and Concepts.
Aliens and Buddhist Cosmology
The intention here is to discuss the relevance of Buddhist Cosmology to alien visitation to this planet.
According to Buddhist cosmology there is only, one human species only limited to this solar system and nowhere else.
Because of the vastness of the universe, I figured out there could be many humanoids in the universe but I am disappointed by this finding in Buddhist Cosmology.
It means there is only one planet in the entire universe which looks like ours and support humans and lower animal species.
The corollary is, if we destroy this planet with a nuclear bomb which is highly likely in the current context, the life form we describe as human will go into extinction along with the rest of the animal species.
Because of the Van Allen belt we cannot escape even to the moon let alone mars to colonize in such an eventuality.
The alien visitation followed after the nuclear testing 70 years ago.
Their purpose was to warn us of the impending danger.
They were benevolent species.
Then of course, there could have been not so benevolent but explorer type who would have come here.
There intention is to explore and exploit.
If this is the only planet of this nature it the experimental laboratory to rejuvenate the lost capabilities and genetic mismatches.
The possibility of cloning and hybrids are real possibility in the name of Tall Whites and Men in Black suits (possibly a hybrid).
These guys of the second category operate at night.
They may not have sex differentiation (already lost but the generations kept by cloning).
So let me now describe in general terms, the six civilizations above our zero generation.
1.We humans are Zero Civilization.
Animals are below zero.
2. Number one above us come as First (1st ) Generation Civilization.
Their capabilities are higher than us but their mental capacities are not high as compared to level 6 Civilizations.
They probably have developed devices to travel in space (spaceships etc).
They may be sending human like artificial robots to this planet with highly advanced computer technology probably atomic level.
They are suspicious of our war mentality and do not trust us and they may choose war not negotiation when their interests are hindered or challenged.
They are neither benevolent nor aggressive but detest provocations.
They probably have mind reading telepathic capabilities.
3. The Second Level Generation may have visited us but do not like human and first generation interaction and simply avoid both.
Sort of neutral entity.
4. The Third Level Civilizations are much superior and non interventional type and their course of action is limited on earth.
5. The Fourth Level Civilizations and above are only benevolent and they may have planted proxies here or working with humans to improve quality of life here.
So we have to worry mostly the First Generation Civilization who may get establish here and make it their stop gap laboratory.
So to interact with higher level civilizations, what we need is not technology but mental culture with people who can attain Jhana level absorption to interact with them.

By the same token, if we were to find significant number of other advanced civilizations in our galaxy it would mean that some at least had been able to overcome the dangers that are now looming over our own civilizations.
If they have reached this advanced stage, it would mean that they have been able discard all of their animistic (BARBARISM) attributes such as materialism, selfishness, territoriality, dominance over others and killing instincts which in a technological civilizations are likely to lead to self destruction.
They would have been able to to mature into higher levels of cosmic intelligence characterized by spirituality, altruism, respect of others, adherence to peace and love for each other.
Joining such a galactic society would indeed be a colossal step forward in the intellectual and ethical evolution of our civilization.
This might also be the reason why we have not yet heard from any such advanced civilizations as may exist.
There must be a galactic rule that says that before a new civilization is invited to join the galactic society it must show that it is able to overcome the major crisis that probably befall all new technological civilizations.
Since we are still in the midst of this evolutionary problem, there may be advanced civilizations waiting to see how we do before inviting us to join the galactic society of advanced civilizations.
Order of the Universe and the World Systems
This is my analysis of the Universe and the World Systems in a theoretical sense.
It is enormously large but its fundamentals can be understood, if we disregard the current themes and dogmatic expressions which are controlled by the religions that exists today.
I will make reference to Buddhist cosmology below to complete the discussions.
I have discussed them, not in detail, in some of my books, for the New Science to emerge from the ashes.
Even Einstein was reprimanded by the Church, discussing them except the Material World according to, a Big Bang, which suits the Church.
Creating material form from nothing without an antecedent.
Something from nothing is bete noire or anathema to me.
I have avoided discussing them except asking the pertinent question, “Who created the God”, in my childhood, knowing very well nobody would answer the question posed.
My in born talent was ability for vivid imagination, and nobody has inspired me in my childhood.
I could figure out mathematics and physics with ease but I did not know my fellow students we struggling with simple arithmetic. I thought the guys were equally capable till lately my friends in retirement, alerted to that fallacy of my estimates.
I fitted with the lot, not asking probing questions (I was thrown out of the class several times, asking questions, the teachers could not answer and which made them "red hot") in my childhood, just to save me from labeled as insane.
This is what the Church does if, the dogma is challenged, he/she excommunicated in broad day light (covertly, if not overtly).
The preamble is necessary, before I summarize my current concepts which are subjected to challenge with alternatives.
1. The current world order and the past world order is/was in a state of flux.
It has always being.
2. Matter is small (less than 5%) and the Dark Matter and Dark Energy is huge.
3. There is an interchange of dark matter to matter and vice versa. This is where the state of flux works in tandem.
4. The relative stability is an illusion, since the conversion is very very slow, which a modern camera cannot catch.
In that sense I am against, a big change or a big bang.
5. A camera image now taken is an old incident million light years in count.
We cannot capture the present in any sense.
This is where vivid imagination is essential to figure out the past, the present and the future in a scientific sense.
So my choice of biological science instead of physics was a fortunate coincidence.
We did not have satellite images then.
I viewed few satellite images and made my rough sketch of the universe and the concepts, below.
6. We ignored the Dark Matter.
7. We had theories for Matter only.
8. Expansion of the universe was ignored.
9. Dark Matter and the Dark Energy cause the expansion, just as well, lest there is a Big Crunch (opposite of Big Bang)
10. Even in some galaxies now viewed from images there is dark matter inside.
That is my crunch point.
11. Dark matter is eating up the matter albeit slowly (a conversion point) in the midst of matter.
12. The dark matter is converted (convergent point) to matter in the periphery of the galaxies, most likely, giving a semblance of stability, in a state of flux situation.
13. The matter can be swallowed by a Dark Hole in a matter of seconds.
14. What prevents this is the expansion, geared by dark energy.
15. What we know is little, what we do not is enormous.
So I have put the essence of New Science in 15 points albeit one or two misconceptions or inaccuracies which are subjected to alternative views.
In Buddhist cosmology, there is nothing on matter or dark matter.
It is all about Mental Culture that can permeate matter and space by Mental Energy and Concepts.
Aliens and Buddhist Cosmology
The intention here is to discuss the relevance of Buddhist Cosmology to alien visitation to this planet.
According to Buddhist cosmology there is only, one human species only limited to this solar system and nowhere else.
Because of the vastness of the universe, I figured out there could be many humanoids in the universe but I am disappointed by this finding in Buddhist Cosmology.
It means there is only one planet in the entire universe which looks like ours and support humans and lower animal species.
The corollary is, if we destroy this planet with a nuclear bomb which is highly likely in the current context, the life form we describe as human will go into extinction along with the rest of the animal species.
Because of the Van Allen belt we cannot escape even to the moon let alone mars to colonize in such an eventuality.
The alien visitation followed after the nuclear testing 70 years ago.
Their purpose was to warn us of the impending danger.
They were benevolent species.
Then of course, there could have been not so benevolent but explorer type who would have come here.
There intention is to explore and exploit.
If this is the only planet of this nature it the experimental laboratory to rejuvenate the lost capabilities and genetic mismatches.
The possibility of cloning and hybrids are real possibility in the name of Tall Whites and Men in Black suits (possibly a hybrid).
These guys of the second category operate at night.
They may not have sex differentiation (already lost but the generations kept by cloning).
So let me now describe in general terms, the six civilizations above our zero generation.
1.We humans are Zero Civilization.
Animals are below zero.
2. Number one above us come as First (1st ) Generation Civilization.
Their capabilities are higher than us but their mental capacities are not high as compared to level 6 Civilizations.
They probably have developed devices to travel in space (spaceships etc).
They may be sending human like artificial robots to this planet with highly advanced computer technology probably atomic level.
They are suspicious of our war mentality and do not trust us and they may choose war not negotiation when their interests are hindered or challenged.
They are neither benevolent nor aggressive but detest provocations.
They probably have mind reading telepathic capabilities.
3. The Second Level Generation may have visited us but do not like human and first generation interaction and simply avoid both.
Sort of neutral entity.
4. The Third Level Civilizations are much superior and non interventional type and their course of action is limited on earth.
5. The Fourth Level Civilizations and above are only benevolent and they may have planted proxies here or working with humans to improve quality of life here.
So we have to worry mostly the First Generation Civilization who may get establish here and make it their stop gap laboratory.
So to interact with higher level civilizations, what we need is not technology but mental culture with people who can attain Jhana level absorption to interact with them.
So meditation can be used theoretically to fill the mental communication gap.
A summary of Buddhist cosmology is given below.
Planes of Existences
There are 31 planes of existence.
They are four states of Unhappiness (Duggati)
1. Niraya
2. Tiracchana Yoni (animal Kingdom)
3. Peta yoni
4. Asura Yoni
Four happy states (Sugati)
1. Manusa
2. Six Devalokas
3. 16 Rupalokas
4. 4 Arupalokas
The Thirty-one Planes of Existence
Scattered throughout the suttas are references to as many as thirty-one distinct "planes" or "realms" of existence into which beings can be reborn during their long wandering through samsara.
These range from the extraordinarily grim and painful hell realms all the way up to the most exquisitely refined and blissful heaven realms.
Existence in every realm is temporary; in Buddhist cosmology there is no eternal heaven or hell.
Beings are born into a particular realm according to their past kamma.
When they pass away, they take rebirth once again elsewhere according to the quality of their kamma: wholesome actions bring about a favorable rebirth, while unwholesome actions lead to an unfavorable one and so the wearisome cycle continues.
The realms of existence are customarily divided into three distinct "worlds" (loka), listed here in descending order of refinement:
The Immaterial World (arupa-loka).
Consists of four realms that are accessible to those who pass away while meditating in the formless Jhanas.
The Fine-Material World (rupa-loka).
Consists of sixteen realms whose inhabitants (the devas) experience extremely refined degrees of mental pleasure. These realms are accessible to those who have attained at least some level of Jhana and who have thereby managed to (temporarily) suppress hatred and ill-will. They are said to possess extremely refined bodies of pure light. The highest of these realms, the Pure Abodes, are accessible only to those who have attained to "non-returning," the third stage of Awakening. The Fine-Material World and the Immaterial World together constitute the "heavens" (sagga).
The Sensuous World (kama-loka).
Consists of eleven realms in which experience — both pleasurable and not — is dominated by the five senses. Seven of these realms are favorable destinations, and include our own human realm as well as several realms occupied by devas.
The lowest realms are the four "bad" destinations, which include the animal and hell realms.

Rarity of Humanoids
Human beings (manussa loka)
Rebirth as a human being is extraordinarily rare.
The assumption here is there are only 5 types of humanoids in only five planets.
Below is a reproduction of various types of beings in the universe or galaxies

The lowest realms are the four "bad" destinations, which include the animal and hell realms.
I. The Immaterial World (arupa-loka)
Realm Comments Cause of rebirth here
(31) Neither-perception-nor-non-perception (nevasaññanasaññayatanupaga deva)
(30) Nothingness (akiñcaññayatanupaga deva)
(29) Infinite Consciousness (viññanañcayatanupaga deva)
(28) Infinite Space (akasanañcayatanupaga deva)
The inhabitants of these realms are possessed entirely of mind.
Having no physical body, they are unable to hear Dhamma teachings.
II. The Fine-Material World (rupa-loka)
(27) Peerless devas (akanittha deva) These are the five Pure Abodes (suddhavasa), which are accessible only to non-returners (anagami) and arahants. Beings who become non-returners in other planes are reborn here, where they attain arahantship.
Among its inhabitants is Brahma Sahampati, who begs the Buddha to teach Dhamma to the world (
(26) Clear-sighted devas (sudassi deva)
(25) Beautiful devas (sudassa deva)
(24) Untroubled devas (atappa deva)
(23) Devas not Falling Away (aviha deva)
(22) Unconscious beings (asaññasatta)
Only body is present; no mind.
(21) Very Fruitful devas (vehapphala deva)
Beings in these planes enjoy varying degrees of jhanic bliss.
(20) Devas of Refulgent Glory (subhakinna deva)
(19) Devas of Unbounded Glory (appamanasubha deva)
(18) Devas of Limited Glory (parittasubha deva)
(17) Devas of Streaming Radiance (abhassara deva)
(16) Devas of Unbounded Radiance (appamanabha deva)
(15) Devas of Limited Radiance (parittabha deva)
(14) Great Brahmas (Maha brahma)
One of this realm's most famous inhabitants is the Great Brahma, a deity whose delusion leads him to regard himself as the all-powerful, all-seeing creator of the universe
(13) Ministers of Brahma (brahma-purohita deva)
Beings in these planes enjoy varying degrees of jhanic bliss.
(12) Retinue of Brahma (brahma-parisajja deva)
III. The Sensuous World (kama-loka)
Happy Destinations (sugati)
(11) Devas Wielding Power over the Creation of Others (paranimmita-vasavatti deva)
These devas enjoy sense pleasures created by others for them.
Mara, the personification of delusion and desire, lives here.
(10) Devas Delighting in Creation (nimmanarati deva)
These devas delight in the sense objects of their own creation.
(9) Contented devas (tusita deva)
A realm of pure delight and gaiety.
Bodhisattas abide here prior to their final human birth.
This is where the bodhisatta Maitreya (Metteya), the next Buddha, is said to dwell.
(8) Yama devas (yama deva)
These devas live in the air, free of all difficulties.
(7) The Thirty-three Gods (tavatimsa deva)
Sakka, a devotee of the Buddha, presides over this realm.
Many devas dwelling here live in mansions in the air.
(6) Devas of the Four Great Kings (catumaharajika deva)
Home of the gandhabbas, the celestial musicians, and the yakkhas, tree spirits of varying degrees of ethical purity. The latter are analogous to the goblins, trolls, and fairies of Western fairy tales.
(5) Human beings (manussa loka)
Rebirth as a human being is extraordinarily rare.
It is also extraordinarily precious, as its unique balance of pleasure and pain facilitates the development of virtue and wisdom to the degree necessary to set one free from the entire cycle of rebirths.
The development of virtue and wisdom
The attainment of stream-entry (sotapatti) guarantees that all future rebirths will be in the human or higher realms.
States of Deprivation (apaya)
(4) Asuras (asura)
The demons — "titans" — that dwell here are engaged in relentless conflict with each other.
(3) Hungry Shades/Ghosts (peta loka)
Ghosts and unhappy spirits wander hopelessly about this realm, searching in vain for sensual fulfillment.
(2) Animals (tiracchana yoni)
This realm includes all the non-human forms of life that are visible to us under ordinary circumstances: animals, insects, fish, birds, worms, etc.
(1) Hell (niraya)
These are realms of unimaginable suffering and anguish.
Should not be confused with the eternal hell found in other religious traditions, since one's time here is — as it is in every realm — temporary.
Heaven
In Buddhist cosmology, the heaven realms are blissful abodes whose present inhabitants (the devas) gained rebirth there through the power of their past meritorious actions. Like all beings still caught in samsara, however, these deities eventually succumb to aging, illness, and death, and must eventually take rebirth in other realms — pleasant or otherwise — according to the quality and strength of their past kamma. The devas are not always especially knowledgeable or spiritually mature — in fact many are quite intoxicated by their sensual indulgences — and none are considered worthy of veneration or worship.
Nevertheless, the devas and their happy realms stand as important reminders to us both of the happy benefits that ensue from the performance of skillful and meritorious deeds and, finally, of the ultimate shortcomings of sensuality.
