Religion plays a significant
role in, let me say, every Sri Lankan life. At least I felt it strongly. There
is someone or something above us, which gives cheerful moments and helps to
fight with badness and overcome it.
Retained culture
Be religious here is important, even more than I thought. There is at
least one temple in each street, nearly in every bus you can find small Buddha
statues hanged above the front window, and even in super crowded busses Please
will stand up and give front seats for monks. And if you are a girl, don’t even
think about a free seat next to a monk, because you are not allowed to sit;
only man are can, if a monk is willing to share a seat. Easy to notice,
sometimes strange to understand. But writing all about that indeed means
writing about Sri Lanka’s culture and major part of its uniqueness and
difference we all are looking here.
