One month around Sri Lanka - A Journey / How to Travel
This trip took us through Sri Lanka for 4 weeks. Beautiful trains, epic surf beaches, wild monkeys and epic adventures. It is really crazy how many different landscapes we saw on this little island. So this film is a little reflection of what we experienced there.

Injured in Sri Lanka - Local Family Look After Me. ????????
Things don't always go to plan. I had an accident before I even made it to my hotel in Kandy.
With an injured ankle there wasn't much I could do on this trip to Sri Lanka. Fortunately I was taken in and looked after by a local family.

Beautiful SRI LANKAN Village: Ohiya (Horton Plains National Park). ????????
What does $54 get you in your country? In my country it certainly doesn't get you a nice hotel room with an incredible view and with dinner and breakfast included.
In the beautiful village of Ohiya, close to the Horton Plains National Park, I stayed in this lovely Eco Lodge. It was the perfect location with beautiful views of the tea estates in the valley and close enough to the park entrance that I could easily hike World's End when the park opened at 6am.
It was a few kilometres of steep terrain from the train station but with nice weather and beautiful views it was certainly worth walking there rather than taking a tuk tuk.
The hotel: Hill Safari Eco Lodge, Ohiya, Sri Lanka -
My room was Luxury Room - Upper.

Sri Lanka,ශ්රී ලංකා,Ceylon,Perahera,Procession,Buddha,Village People
Perahera is the Singhalese name of a Procession with a religious meaning and a lot of animation.In this Procession organized by a population in a rural area and their Sanga Monks the final destination may be a temple distant a few kilometeres or less.Food and refreshments will be prepared by road side residents who by supporting this event in any fashion will also gain the merits born by any action helping the propagation of the Buddha Gautamas teachings.Traditionaly first will walk ahead of the Procession a group of whip using fore runners whom's mission is to clear the path for the pilgrims and dancers, sometimes also animals part of the group. About whips: A whip is a tool traditionally used by humans to exert control over animals or other people, through pain compliance or fear of pain, although in some activities whips can be used without use of pain, such as an additional pressure aid in dressage. Whips are generally of two main types, either a firm stick device designed to strike directly, or a flexible whip which must be swung in a specific manner to be effective, but has a longer reach. There are also whips which combine both a firm stick and a flexible line, such as hunting whips.
The majority of whips are designed for use on animals, although whips such as the cat o' nine tails and knout were designed specifially for flagellation of humans as a means of a corporal punishment or torture. Whips can be used consenually, or even by a person upon themselves as part of a religious practice, or for sexual fetishism.(wikipedia)
Sri Lanka: the Elephant Orphanage of Pinnawala
L'Elephant Orphanage di Pinnawala, che fu istituito nel 1975 sull'area di una ex piantagione di palme da cocco di nove ettari. Qui sono curati i cuccioli di elefanti trovati feriti o smarriti dal branco, che una volta rimessi in salute e cresciuti vengono utilizzati come animali da carico. Attualmente gli ospiti sono circa 80, di cui circa le metà in età da allattamento.
Il progetto è ovviamente diventato un'attrazione turistica, pur senza avere perduto l'aspetto meritorio.

Celebrating the end of the rain retreat - Katina Chewaraya Poojawa
Vap Full Moon Poya day is a significant day for Buddhists because of the Katina Pinkama as well several other events which took place on this day. Gauthama Buddha’s completion of His Vas period in Thusitha heaven, the dispatching of an envoy by king Devanampiyatissa to emperor Asoka in India requesting him to send a sapling of Sri Maha Bodhi to Sri Lanka, the attainment of arahantship by Aritta Samanera as Singala Maha Thera and the recitation of Vinaya Pitaka under the supervision of Aranhant Mahinda Maha Thera are the significant events to have taken place on Vap Full Moon Poya day.
Buddhist monks complete the Vassana kala or the rainy season sojourn on Vap Full Moon Poya Day. This three month period is very important for ‘Savanak Piris’ or four groups of the Buddhist community viz. “Bhikkhus” –monks, “Bhikkhunis” nuns, “Upasaka“–lay male devotees, “Upasika” lay female devotees, because this is the period of the year when they can accumulate merit in various ways. Buddhists perform a series of special religious activities; the most important of them is the Katina Cheevara pooja or offering of robes to the Maha Sangha.
Katina Cheevaraya is a web of cloth made in a day and presented to a Buddhist priest. An important incident led to the introduction of Katina Pooja or offering of robes to monks who had completed vas or rainy season sojourn When Gauthama Buddha was sojourning in Srawasthi Jethawanaramaya thirty monks came to see Him from Paweyya state. Since it was the rainy season they remained with house holders in Saketha Nuwara and at the end of the three month Vas period they set off for Jethawanaramaya but on their way they got caught to heavy rains as the rainy season had not finished. They came to Jethawanaramaya in wet robes. On inquiries they told Buddha that they got caught to the rain. Buddha gave them permission for “Katinaskaranaya”or entitled them to have another robe.
The Katina Perahera is a Buddhist practice that marks the end of dwelling indoors by monks during the season of rain. With the rains came out tiny insects that were unknowingly trampled to death by the walking monks. As this led to criticism, the monks remained in one place during this season.
The rainy season or ‘wassana’ of three months, which began on the Esala Full Moon Day in July ends. Thus begins the Katina period, when devotees offer fresh robes to monks who have observed wassana. The robes are offered in the temple in a procession called the Katina Perahera. It is organised on a grand scale, which today is a major cultural event. Dances, drummers and caparisoned elephants are followed by devotees clad in white on route to the temples.
Katina Puja or offering of new robes to Buddhist priest is long standing religious custom prevailing in all the countries where Theravadhi Buddhism prevails. Katina is offered to Buddha on the Vap full moon poya day and in Sri Lanka Katina pinkama ceremonies are performed in Buddhist temples during the period from Vap full moon poya day to Ill Full Moon Poya day. In the words of Buddha this is the noblest religious activity for Buddhist in which limitless merit is accumulated. Monks who have completed a period of rainy season sojourn are entitled to receive Katina Cheevara after the completion of the period successfully. In the event of a number of monks observing Vas or sojourning for the rainy season at the same place only one monk is entitled to receive Katina at that place. However, a single devotee can offer any number of robes but at different places.
In Buddha’s words all the items offered at a Katina Pinkama ceremony are equally efficacious bridges of offerings in the road to Nirvana. A number of prerequisites should be fulfilled to achieve the best results of a Katina puja. First of all every monk to whom the Katina Cheewaraya is offered should have completed the rainy seasonal sojourn in the proper way. .The Cheewaraya should be a thick robe for the wet season cut and sewn on the spot in a day and night.
Gauthama Buddha set an example to His followers by sojourning Himself during the Wassana Kalaya or the rainy season. The first “Vas” period sojourning of the Gauthama Buddha after His Enlightenment was at Baranasi Isipathanaramaya – the grove in Benaris where He first preached to His monks.
The ceremonies, connected with the offering of the ‘Katina Robe’, are enacted as far as possible in keeping with the old rituals that had been followed since Buddhism had been introduced to the country.
In the early hours of the morning, before sunrise on the day the ‘Katina Cheevaraya’ is to be offered, a white cloth is brought into the temple by devotees for the cutting and sewing of a robe.
The robe is stitched at the ‘Pansala’ or temple in keeping with the tradition and this is then dyed and offered to the monks.
