We organized a tree planting progamme at the Lewella meditation centre on this Vesak poya day the 27th May, as a token of gratitude for nature that always takes care of us.
Being grateful to the nature is one of the qualities that Lord Buddha taught in his doctrine. Not only did he preach, but also he set an ample example by spending a whole week looking at the Bo tree that helped him to attain Nibbhana.
Mother Nature has given us everything for a comfortable life. Despite of tortures by humans for centuries, she has been tolerating us immensely. Planting trees is one way to show our gratitude for her kindness. Thus, we planted fruits, flowers and some medicinal plants in the meditation centre premises. In addition to serving the environment, these trees will be of use to the visitors to the meditation centre. Hope this will be an example for everyone to follow on coming environment day on 5th June.

human are part of the nature. but always they forget that. they always try to defeat the nature. as much as they destroy nature they close to their end. while managing the animal population, it’s really good to think about tree planting program. because we have to balance every eco- systems in nature. as a nature lover i am always in your side.
