“An event that made the whole world talk about Sri Lanka.” 😍🇱🇰

 


The internationally renowned “Ehipassiko” Global Walk for Peace was successfully held in Sri Lanka from April 21 to April 28, 2026.


The walk began on April 21 near the sacred Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi in Anuradhapura, and was then officially launched from the Dambulla Royal Cave Temple. The route passed through Dambulla, Matale, Kandy, Belligammana, Tholangamuwa, Yakkala, Kadawatha, and Mahara, before reaching the Kelaniya Raja Maha Vihara.


The walk concluded on April 28 at Independence Square in Colombo, with a state ceremony attended by President Anura Kumara Dissanayake.


Special Highlights:

Throughout the journey, a sacred sapling from the Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi and revered Buddha relics were carried ceremonially. A dog named Aloka also joined the walk as a symbol of global peace. The main purpose of this event was to spread the message of peace, loving-kindness, and mindful living (mindfulness) to the world.


One of the most remarkable aspects of this journey was the devotion and hospitality of the Sri Lankan people. Along many parts of the route, thousands of banana leaves were laid on the roads and watered to keep them cool, allowing the monks to walk comfortably without their feet being burned by the heat. This was truly a gesture worthy of great appreciation.

How we made her day beautiful 😁🎂

After we came to campus, one of the best friends I met was Sanduni. She is honestly like an elder sister to me. She was born in 2002. Her father is no more, and she lives with her mother and sister. Sanduni’s home is in Panideniya, Kandy. She is a very simple and humble girl, and her voice is really beautiful. Her birthday was on March 26, but at that time we were on campus vacation, so we couldn’t celebrate it in the boarding place. About a month and a half later, the four of us from the boarding house got together and celebrated her birthday. She had really wanted a phone back cover, so I gave it to her as a gift. She was extremely happy. Seeing her happiness made me even happier. It became a very beautiful memory for me. I felt happy because I was able to give someone else a smile.

Chees 😁 ? 🧀?

Eating a piece of cheese about 30 minutes before going to bed can help you fall asleep more easily and enjoy a deeper, more restful sleep, according to a study conducted by British scientists in 2005. 💤 The amino acid tryptophan found in cheese supports proper nervous system function, helps reduce stress, and eases anxiety. 🧀 But in Sri Lanka, when you see the price of cheese… your stress actually increases. 🫥

  Girls’ heeled shoes are designed to combine style with comfort, especially for growing feet. Many options use cushioned insoles and low, stable heels to reduce strain while still giving a fashionable look. Materials like soft synthetic leather, fabric, or breathable mesh help keep the shoes lightweight and comfortable for longer wear.  Adjustable straps, buckles, or Velcro closures are commonly included to ensure a secure fit and better balance. These shoes are often chosen for special occasions such as parties, weddings, or school events, where both appearance and practicality matter.
