Visakha Vidyalaya

Visakha Vidyalaya (Sinhala: විශාඛා විද්‍යාලය, Tamil: விசாகா வித்தியாலயம்) is a girls' school in Colombo, Sri Lanka. It is a National School managed by the central government providing primary and secondary education. History The school was established in 1917 by Celestina Dias as the Buddhist Girls College in a house called 'The Firs' in Turret Road, Colombo, Sri Lanka. It was the dream of Dias to train the school girls according to the Buddhist moral values and principles. In 1927 it moved to its present premises in Vajira Road, Colombo and was named Visakha Vidyalaya, after Visakha, a disciple of the Lord Buddha, by Lady Herbert Stanley the wife of the Governor of Ceylon at that time. In 1939 the school was affiliated with Lady Irwin College, New Delhi to conduct courses in Home economics. Science subjects were introduced to the curriculum in 1946, for the first time in a girls' school in Sri Lanka. School motto The school's motto is from the Alavaka Sutta in the Sutta Pitaka of the Tripitaka. When the yakkha Alavaka first confronted Buddha, he threatened to exterminate Buddha unless he, Buddha were to answer all his questions. One of the questions asked was "Kathansu Parisujjhati" (how is one cleansed) to which Buddha replied, "Paññaya Parisujjhati" (by wisdom is one cleansed). Houses All the current house names are derived from the names of four past principals of the school, Jeremias Dias the founder of the school, and Sir Don Baron Jayatilaka, who was once the patron of the school.

Devi Balika Vidyalaya

Devi Balika Vidyalaya (singhalesisch දේවි බාලිකා විද්යාලය Tamil தேவி பாலிகா வித்தியாலயம்) ist eine staatliche Mädchenschule in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Mädchen werden ab der sechsten Klasse aufgenommen, basierend auf den Ergebnissen einer landesweiten Aufnahmeprüfung. Wie andere staatliche Schulen wird sie von der Zentralregierung und nicht von einem Provinzrat kontrolliert. Geschichte Bis 1950 wurden einige der Empfehlungen des Kannangara-Reports umgesetzt, aber Chancen für Bildungsgleichheit blieben unzureichend. Der Staat akzeptierte die Empfehlung des Weißbuchs zur Bildung (White Paper on education, 1950), den Unterricht in der 8. Klasse zu teilen, wenn die Schulpflicht endete. Einer der drei Zweige war akademisch. Im Einklang mit dieser Politik begann das Government Girls’ College in der Castle Street (Devi Balika Vidyalaya) Klassen von der 9. bis zur 12. Klasse anzubieten, die sich an akademisch begabte Mädchen richteten. Das Bildungsministerium beabsichtigte außerdem, dass diese neue Schule ein Exzellenzzentrum für naturwissenschaftlichen Unterricht werden sollte, für welchen nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg eine große Nachfrage bestand. Die Schule wurde am 15. Januar 1953 gegründet und aus vorgefertigten Bauteilen errichtet. Sie bot damals Platz für 53 Schüler und beschäftigte 5 Lehrer. Die Bedeutung außerschulischer Aktivitäten wurde anerkannt, obwohl der Schwerpunkt auf akademischen Aktivitäten lag. Pfadfinderinnen (Girl Guiding), Tanzen (nach der Tradition von Kandy, indischer Tanz und Country-Tanz), Musik, Sport und Theater wurden eingeführt. Die Gründerin war Wimala de Silva. 1997 wurde mit Unterstützung durch ehemalige Schülerinnen ein Wohnheim eingerichtet. Am 5. März 1998 wurde ein Mehrzwecksaal (School Multipurpose Auditorium) eröffnet. Es wurden Spendenaktionen durchgeführt, um die Mittel aufzustocken, damit sie dem Zuschuss des Bildungsministeriums entsprachen. Darüber hinaus leisteten weitere Ministerien, die Pelpola Vipassi Foundation, verschiedene Institutionen, Eltern und Ehemalige wichtige finanzielle Beiträge. Ingenieur- und Architekturberatung sowie verschiedene kostenlose Dienstleistungen von Unterstützern waren entscheidend für die 1. und 2. Bauphase des Auditoriums.

Devi Balika Vidyalaya

Devi Balika Vidyalaya is a public national girls' school in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Girls are admitted at grade six, based on the results of an island-wide scholarship examination. Like other national schools it is controlled by the central government, as opposed to a provincial council. History By 1950, some of the recommendations of the Kannangara report had been implemented, but the opportunities for educational equality remained inadequate. The state accepted the recommendation of the White Paper on education (1950), to split education at grade 8, when compulsory education ended. One of the three streams was academic. In keeping with this policy, Government Girls' College, Castle Street (Devi Balika Vidyalaya) began to offer classes from grade 9 to 12, catering to academically gifted girls. The Department of Education further intended this new school to be a centre of excellence in science education, for which there was great demand after World War II. The school was founded on 15 January 1953, constructed with prefabricated material, enrolling 53 students and hosting 5 teachers. The importance of extra curricular activities was recognized though the emphasis was on academic pursuits. Girl Guiding, dancing (Kandyan, Indian and country dancing), music, sports and drama were introduced. Wimala de Silva was its founder principal. A hostel was established in 1997 with the help of alumnae. On 5 March 1998 a School Multipurpose Auditorium was opened. Fundraising projects were held to swell the fund to match the grant given by the Ministry of Education. In addition, financial contributions received from other ministries, Pelpola Vipassi Foundation, various institutions, parents, and alumnae were a major support in doing this task. Engineering and Architectural consultancy and various free services received from supporters, made the 1st and 2nd stages of the School Multipurpose Auditorium Project a success.

Sanctuaire Notre-Dame de Madhu

Le sanctuaire Notre-Dame de Madhu est un édifice religieux catholique et sanctuaire marial dans le district de Mannar au Sri Lanka. Relevant du diocèse de Mannar (en), il n'en a pas moins le statut de sanctuaire national. Avec une histoire de plus de 400 ans, ce sanctuaire est le lieu de pèlerinage le plus important de l'Église catholique au Sri Lanka. Les grands pèlerinages du 2 juillet et du 15 août attirent chaque année 600 000 chrétiens, bouddhistes, hindous et musulmans. Situé au cœur de la zone de la guerre civile sri-lankaise, le sanctuaire a accueilli, pendant le conflit, un camp de réfugiés. Il a été bombardé à plusieurs reprises. Le caractère interreligieux du sanctuaire en fait aujourd'hui un lieu privilégié de réconciliation nationale.

Ruwanwelisaya

La Ruwanwelisaya és un stupa a Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka, considerada una meravella per les seves qualitats arquitectòniques i sagrada per a molts budistes a tot el món. Va ser construït pel rei Dutugemunu vers 140 aC, que va esdeveniar sobirà de tot Sri Lanka després d'una guerra en què el rei Chola Elara, va ser derrotat. És també coneguda com a Mahathupa, Swarnamali Chaitya, Suvarnamali Mahaceti (en Pali) i Rathnamali Dagaba. És un dels Solosmasthana (els 16 llocs de veneració) i dels Atamasthana (els 8 llocs de veneration a la ciutat sagrada antiga d'Anuradhapura). La stupa és un dels monuments més alts del món mesurant 103 m i amb una circumferència de 290 m. La pagoda Kaunghmudaw a Sagaing, Myanmar, va agafar de model aquest stupa. La stupa era una ruïna antiga en el segle xix. Després de notables esforços dels monjos singalesos (bhikkhu), la stupa fou renovada al començament del segle xx. La Societat de Restauració del Ruwanveli Seya va ser fundada el 1902 i el final oficial de l'obra de la stupa va tenir lloc el 17 de juny de 1940. La més gran stupa després de la construcció de la Ruwanwelisaya fou la de Kotmale Mahaweli Maha Seya. Aquesta stupa va tardar 33 anys i 3 mesos a quedar completada.

Ruwanwelisaya

Le Ruwanwelisaya est un stupa (ou dagoba) situé au Sri Lanka dans le district d'Anuradhapura de la province du Centre-Nord. Considérée comme sacrée par de nombreux bouddhistes du monde entier, cette célèbre structure hémisphérique est censée contenir des reliques de Bouddha. Histoire Elle a été construite sous le règne du roi singhalais Dutugemunu, qui régna sur tout le Sri Lanka après une guerre au cours de laquelle le roi tamoul Ellalan de la Dynastie Chola fut vaincu. C'est l'un des Solosmasthana (en) (les 16 lieux de vénération) et l'un des Atamasthana (en) (les 8 lieux de vénération dans l'ancienne ville sacrée d'Anurâdhapura). Le Ruwanwelisaya, Grand Stûpa ou Swarnamalee Chetiya, a été destiné à abriter le bol à offrandes du Bouddha. La construction commença le jour de la pleine lune de Vesak (traditionnellement la date de la naissance, de l'illumination et de la disparition du Bouddha) avec la création d'une fondation de rocs broyés. Pour enfoncer les pierres, on les fit piétiner par des éléphants chaussés de cuir. Dutugemunu aurait surveillé personnellement les travaux, en particulier la construction de la chambre des reliques et l'enfouissement du bol lui-même. La dédicace du stûpa est décrite dans le vingt-neuvième chapitre du Mahavamsa, qui recense les visites des délégations de plusieurs régions de l'Inde, ainsi qu'une délégation de 30 000 moines d'Alexandrie du Caucase, sous la conduite du moine indo-grec Mahadharmaraksita (en). Description Ce stupa est l'un des monuments religieux les plus hauts du monde, avec une hauteur de 103 m et une circonférence de 290 m. La plateforme carrée de 143 m de côté qui supporte le stupa est décorée de centaines d'éléphants. De petites stupas sont disposées aux 4 angles de la plateforme. Des bâtiments annexes sont réservés aux moines et à l'exposition de statues de Bouddha et du roi Dutugemunu. Le stupa était en ruine au XIXe siècle. Après une de collecte de fonds, elle a été rénovée au début du XXe siècle par la Ruwanveli Seya Restoration Society (fondée en 1902) et le couronnement final du stupa a eu lieu le 17 juin 1940. Soixante millions de briques ont été nécessaires pour recouvrir le dôme.

Ruwanwelisaya

Ruwanwelisaya je dagoba v obliki polkrožne kupole v svetem mestu Anuradhapura na Šrilanki, ki vsebuje Budove relikvije, in velja za sveto številnim budistom po vsem svetu. Gradil jo je kralj Dutugemunu okoli 140 pr. n. št., po vojni, v kateri je premagal čolskega kralja Elara in postal gospodar vse Šrilanke. Znana je tudi kot "Mahathupa", "Swarnamali Chaitya", "Suvarnamali Mahaceti" (v jeziku Pali) in "Rathnamali Dagaba". To je ena od "Solosmasthana" (16 mest čaščenja) in "Atamasthana" (8 krajev čaščenja v starodavnem svetem mestu Anuradhapuri). Stupa je med najvišjimi spomeniki na svetu, visoka 103 m, z obsegom 290 m. Pagoda Kaunghmudaw v Sagaingu, Mjanmar je narejena po njenem vzoru. Stupa je bila v 19. stoletju v ruševinah. Po zbiranju sredstev singalskih bikšu (bhikkhu - menih) je bila obnovljena v začetku 20. stoletja. Društvo za obnovo Ruwanveli Seya je bilo ustanovljeno leta 1902, končno kronanje stupe pa je bilo 17. junija 1940. Budova relikvija Po Buddhiovi "Parinibbāni" so njegove relikvije in bogoslužje knezi osmih držav razdelili tako, da sta vsaka država imeli po dve. Dva dela relikvij, ki so bila v vasi Rāmagāma, sta bila po odločitvi Bude odložena v Veliki stupi Ruwanweli. Kralj Dutugemunu je na dan polne lune meseca "Ašāha" (junij-julij) pod ozvezdjem "Uttarāsāḷha" priredil ceremonijo za položitev relikvije v Veliko stupo s čaščenjem "Sangh" (red menihov) na dan pred polno luno in jih spomnil, da je jutri določen dan za vnos v relikviarij in mu prinesejo relikvije. Saṅghe so nato sporočili novico Arahantu "Soṇuttari", ki je bil usposobljen nabaviti relikvije iz Naga-Loka, ki jo je uspel obiskati in prinesti ter darovati Sangham. Potem je kralj Dutugemunu od "Sangh" prejel Budove relikvije v kovčku, je odšel iz zlatega paviljona med množico darovalcev in častilcev. Trikrat je obkrožil relikvijo, vstopil z vzhoda in položil skrinjo na srebrn podstavek "koṭi", ki je bil urejen na severni strani. Podoba Bude je bila narejena v levjem položaju ("sīhaseyya") in vse relikvije so bile zapisane v tej podobi. Ko je bil obred v Veliki stupi Ruwanweli končan, sta dva novica Uttara in Sumana zaprla relikvijo s kamniti blok, ki sta ga prej pokrila.

Коломбо

Коломбо (на синхалски: කොළඹ; на тамилски: கொழும்பு) е най-големият град и фактическа столица на Шри Ланка. След 1982 г. административната столица на страната е изместена в Шри Джаяварданапура Коте. Градът е разположен на западния бряг на острова, в непосредствена близост до съвременната столица. Към 2012 г. населението на Коломбо възлиза на 561 314 души. Коломбо е център на метрополен регион обитаван от 5 648 000 души. Съвременното име на града е дадено от португалците през 1505 г. и се смята, че произлиза от синхалското име Kolon thota, което означава пристанище на река Келани. Друго предположение за произхода на името Коломбо е от синхалското име Kola-amba-thota, което означава пристанище с многолистни мангови дървета. Заради стратегическото си разположение по важни за морската търговия маршрути запад-изток и удобното си голямо пристанище, Коломбо е известен на древните търговци още отпреди 2000 години. Въпреки това Коломбо е обявен за столица едва през 1815 г., когато градът е включен в състава на Британската империя и става административен център на целия остров, тогава носещ името Цейлон. Статусът на столичен град се запазва дори и след обявяването на независимост и създаването на Цейлонска държава. Въпреки че през 1978 г. столицата е преместена, Коломбо остава фактическа столица на Шри Ланка и главен културен, икономически и образователен център. Население В Коломбо има различни етноси и култури. Населението на града е смесица от множество народности, предимно синхали, тамили и моори. Също така има компактни групи от китайци, португалци, холандци, малайци и индийци, както и множество временно живеещи европейци. В рамките на града живеят 642 163 души, което прави Коломбо най-големият град в Шри Ланка. Според преброяването от 2001 г. в Коломбо живеят следните етнически групи: Управление Коломбо е град с автономно управление, начело на което е общински съвет и кмет. Членовете на този съвет и кметът се избират чрез местни избори, които се провеждат веднъж на пет години. За последните 50 години градът се е управлявал от дясно-центристката Обединена национална партия, която провежда либерална икономическа политика. Въпреки това през 2006 г. кандидат-листата на партията е отхвърлена и на изборите участва Независимата група, поддържана от ОНП. Изборите са спечелени от Уваис Мохамед Имитиас, който към този момент продължава да бъде кмет на Коломбо. Административно деление Коломбо се дели на 15 номерирани района за нуждите на пощенските служби. В тези райони влизат всички квартали и предградия, разпределени според съответстващите пощенски клонове.
