We extend our heartfelt joy and profound respect on the appointment of the Most Venerable Narampanawe Ananda Maha Thero, Anunayake of the Asgiriya Chapter of the Siam Nikaya, as the new Chancellor of the University of Kelaniya—a venerable seat of higher learning in Sri Lanka.
We view this distinguished appointment as a fitting recognition of His Most Venerable status, honoring his long-standing service to the Sasana (the Dispensation of the Buddha), his profound mastery of the Dhamma, his disciplined monastic leadership, and his academic maturity.
By the infinite power of the Triple Gem and the blessings of the great preceptors of the past, we fervently pray that His Most Venerable status be granted the strength, courage, wisdom, and longevity required to fulfill this significant responsibility. May his tenure contribute extensively to the longevity of the Buddha Sasana, the intellectual advancement of the nation, and the shaping of a virtuous future for society.
“Dīghāyuko hotu, nirūgo hotu, sukhī attānaṃ pariharatu.” (May you be long-lived, may you be free from ailments, may you live happily.)
May the Triple Gem bless you!
