GURUGE originally published by The Ministry of Cultural Affairs Colombo 7, Sri Lanka cover photograph: Ven Hikkaḍuwe Śrī Sumaṅgala holding a class at Vidyodaya College circa 1900s 2 “We Europeans must, of course, stand in need of such help as we are so far from the living fountains of Buddhism and so scantily furnished with materials.” – Viggo Fausböll in his letter to Ven. Waskaḍuwe Subhūti Nāyaka Thera on 14th March 1877. 3 “The Western World discovered Pali, and the Buddhist scriptures barely a hundred years ago; Sri Lanka again provided the most material. It was George Turnour’s discovery and translation of the Mahā Vansa, in 1837, which helped scholars working in India to identify King Piyadassi of the inscriptions, which they were trying to decipher, with King Asoka of history. Subsequent advance was made comparatively easy. ‘Vincent Fausböll translated the Dhammapada in 1855 and Robert Caesar Childers, a member of the Ceylon Civil Service as was Turnour, published a Pali-English Dictionary in 1870. They were given considerable help by the Sinhalese Bhikkhus, especially Subhūti and Dhammarama. Dr. Rhys Davids, another member of the Ceylon Civil Service, founded the Pali Text Society in 1881, and with the help of his wife, gradually unveiled to the Western World, the unique and original literature contained in the Buddhist scriptures.” His Excellency J. R. Jayewardene – President of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka: BUDDHIST ESSAYS (First Edition 1942) Fifth Revised Edition 1983: Chapter VI.

    The Royal Thomian Derby (Or the Royal Thomian Match) by Renu Manamendra (Life Member - Royal College Union and the Group of '76) Reproduced from the Daily News The most looked forward to sporting and social event in the Calendar of present and past students of the two most renowned high schools in Sri Lanka, the Royal versus S. Thomas' Cricket Match, is played over 3 days in the month of March in the city of Colombo. S. Thomas' College Mount Lavinia, a private Anglican school has about 2,500 boys on roll, while Royal college Colombo, a government-run non-denominational school accommodates approximately 8,000, making it the largest school in the country. Origins of School Cricket in Ceylon The early origins of S. Thomas' College Mount Lavinia date ba ck to 1851 when it was located in Mutwal, Colombo.

  • Dress Codes of Female Employees and Their Job Performances in Sri Lanka UGLB Jayasooriya
    Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences 3 (1) 2020 1 Dress Codes of Female Employees and their Job Performances in Sri Lanka U.G.L.B. Jayasooriya1, Saliya De Silva2, W.A.D.P. Wanigasundara3 Abstract The historical evolution of Sri Lankan female clothing shows that Sri Lankans have been more concerned about nationalism and cultural beliefs in deciding a suitable dress for women. Saree, which is also called Osari depending on the style one may wear it, is traditionally considered as the most suitable and decent dress for Sri Lankan women at work. In contrast, dress codes of many countries have evolved in favour of comfort, preferences and job performance based on research while there seems to be no such studies based on Sri Lanka. Filling this knowledge gap this paper investigates the impact of dress code on job performance of female employees in Sri Lanka through a comprehensive literature review. The study shows that relaxing dress norms in favour of the convenience of employees results in increased efficiency, productivity and satisfaction. The findings suggest that a dress code could be decided to ensure maximum job performance based on scientific grounds and individual preferences, not merely based on cultural factors. Keywords: Dress Code, Job Performance, Saree, Women’s Clothing, Cultural Norms Introduction Dress and fashion are rich and varied fields of study. Some scholars refer to them as „hybrid subjects‟ because they bring together different conceptual frameworks and disciplinary approaches, including those from anthropology, art, history, cultural studies, design studies, economics, literature, semiotics, sociology, visual culture and business studies (Melchior and Skov, 2008).

  • Concise Pāli-English Dictionary
    CONCISE PĀLI-ENGLISH DICTIONARY BY AGGAMAHĀPAṆḌITA A. P. BUDDHADATTA MAHĀTHERA The author of “The New Pāli Course”, "English-Pāli Dictionary”, etc. and the editor of “The Buddhadatta’s Manuals”, “Sammohavinodanī”, etc. AGGĀRĀMA, AMBALANGODA FOREWORD A concise Pali-English Dictionary for use by students in schools and colleges has been a long-felt need. The only available Pali-English lexicon—the work of Childers being long out of print—is the famous publication of the Pali Text Society, but this too is fast becoming rare and difficult to procure. In any case the cost is too heavy for the average student. Hence it is gratifying to note that at long last a reputed scholar has come forward to satisfy this need and after several years of hard work has compiled what may prove to be the standard practical dictionary of the Pali language. The author is not only an eminent Elder of the Buddhist Order but one of the leading Pali scholars recognized both in the East and in the West as an authority on the subject. His experiences as a teacher at Ananda College, Colombo, and the considerable experience he has gained as a writer of text-books for school use, such as the now famous New Pali Course, make him admirably suited for the undertaking. There are but a few Buddhist Elders in direct contact with western scholarship through the English medium and the Rev. Buddhadatta is the most senior among that class of monks. It is to be observed that the author has kept more or less to the traditional sense of words while not altogether ignoring the meanings given by western scholars in their translations and lexicons.
