Ayubowan, my dear children...
The precious tribute you presented to me today, on World Teacher's Day, is not only a wonderful experience that reached my ears and mind, but one that deeply touched my heart. This gift offered to me by my children, who are filled with virtue, morality, and discipline, goes far beyond material value—it is a symbol of the sublime love and respect that exists between students and their teacher.
As our ancient ancestors said, 'Knowledge is the lamp of the world.' However, your virtuousness in appreciating the path of teaching, which strives to light that lamp with proper guidance, is the most beautiful fruit I have received in my life. In the ancient Gurukula era, the teacher-student bond was respectful and sacred. The tribute you gave me today reminds me of that heritage of the past.
The true happiness and wealth a teacher can receive is to see their children nourished with both wisdom and virtue, illuminating society. This loving tribute you gave me is a great strength for my future journey.
May the Triple Gem bless you all! May the grace of God be with you! May you achieve success in both this world and the next! May you have the strength and courage to become noble citizens who uplift the nation in the future! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🧘මගේ සියලු ගුරුවරුන්ට උපහාරයක් වේවා . 🙏
