The world needs to grow more and more in the direction of love and compassion. In order to make everyone feel safe and respected, all have to be conscious of the value of other beings, first fellow humans and then all the forms of life in the universe. Yahangala Ancient Royal Temple is dedicated to educate its devotees, young children and all the associates in the direction of loving kindness and compassion (metta and karuna). Let us join hand to practice love and compassion in our individual life and as a community. I believe  it could be a beginning of changing the environment we are living in and let all feel happy.
