On Poson Poya day (June 03, 2023) the Berlin Maha Vihara ( Das Buddhistische Haus in Berlin -Frohnau) organized a successful program comprising Sil, Dhamma sermons, Dhamma discussions, Meditation, focus on Mindfulness, and a rendition of Bhakti Gee Songs at the end of the day. These songs were sung by the teachers and students of the new Daham Pasela that has been opened at the Berlin Vihara in the last three years to keep young children in step ( as far as possible ) with Sinhala and Buddhist cultural practices of Sri Lanka. Young healthy children all clothed in white Arya Sinhala attire blended well with the Buddhist religious character of the Poson day festivities. What a wonderful sight to behold. 

About four Buddhist monks were in attendance along with members of the Diplomatic Corps of several Asian Buddhist countries including the Ambassador of Sri Lanka, among a large number of ‘dayakayas’ (patrons) of several nationalities.

Ven. Pelene Dhamma Kusala Thero, the monk in residence conducted the program. He was ably supported by a number of youthful volunteers from Sri Lanka who was responsible for making the elaborate arrangements at the ground level under the supervision of Mr. Tissa Weeraratna, the caretaker of the Berlin Temple. 

The entire day’s proceedings have been recorded on camera and uploaded on YouTube.
