Bhante Yatinuwara Sankichcha  Thero is from  Great Lake Buddhist Vihara who was born in Kandy, Sri Lanka in 1976. Venerable Sankichcha received novice ordination at the age of 15 in 1991. Not long after his higher ordination, in 1996, he moved to Australia where he lived for four years. Ven. Sankichcha moved to Great Lakes Buddhist Vihara in December of 2001. He has conducted many Dhamma Sermons and Meditation Programs over 14 years in USA. 

In the world of lament, to rejoice and in the world of burning with desire, delusion and anger to eventually eradicate unwholesome roots by guiding lay devotees following the Buddha’s path of purification; We cordially invite Ven. Sankichcha Thero to conduct a Bhavana and Dhamma sermon in the Poson day of June 16th at Nevada Buddhist Vihara. Your participation is invaluable and appreciated. 

           In this New Year 2018, we wish you will be wise to take a moment and think back to reflect the change that you should do or have not done in the last year that should do to cultivate the spiritual development. It is a New Year to strengthen the spirituality and as well as question and focus to improve the virtue, alms giving and practice Bhavana (Meditation).    

           Please join with us to pay homage to the 28 Buddhas January 1st, 2018 at 7:00 p.m. at Nevada Buddhist Temple.

           May your wishes be fulfilled, may you, your families, relatives, friends live healthy, wealthy, peacefully, and may your children’s education wishes be fulfilled, May you have a spiritual success.
 

Thank You.

          We gathered with the Sri Lankan community tonight at the Nevada Buddhist Temple to share our meritorious deed with those of who passed away due to this unfortunate and unprecedented tragedy that took place yesterday night in Las Vegas. We literally had a short time to acknowledge the Sri Lankans to gather at the temple but all as a Sri Lankan community shared our greatest and deepest sympathy for those who were lost their loved ones and injured during this tragic event. We also must take a moment to contemplate on the impermanence and how fragile the life is. There are many ways to die than to live in this world. 

           We wish that power of the meritorious deed or wholesome energy shared tonight with those of who were passed away and might live in misery to transcend to a better realm of existence. May this act of compassion console the family members and loved ones who has been experiencing grief, anger, shock and fear since yesterday night.   

             Buddhists handbook or Dhammapadha verse 125 states, “Who offends the inoffensive, the innocent and blameless one, upon that fool does evil fall as fine dust flung against the wind.”
