The Spirit of the World ( On and Off)
Sri Lanka in Peaceful Times
I've visited Sri Lanka during war and peaceful times. This scene is from my most recent trip during a much welcomed time of peace. I join the people of Sri Lanka in their sorrow and condemnation of the bombings that rocked this little island yesterday.
The Sri Lankans have always prided themselves in their ability to offer religious tolerance to all. Many religions can be found in the Buddhist country with Muslims and Hindus living side by side as well. About 6 months ago, some tensions broke out in the ancient city of Kandy in the highlands. Outside agitators were squashed. Hopefully the group responsible for this carnage will be too.
