Entering an ANCIENT CAVE Temple & Visiting a Fresh Produce Market (Damn, Did I Stand Out!) 🇱🇰

From purely Hindu, to Hindu/Buddhist to a purely Buddhist (2000 year old) cave temple. Sri Lanka is a marvel of cultural history and identity. It was an eye-opening and informative day and ending it meditating in the ancient cave temple was an experience I can't even articulate in to words.
It's a must, must, MUSTTT visit!... The fresh produce market can be skipped though haha

Really nice video 🙂 Dambulla is the main distribution center for Sri Lanka as it in in the middle of the country and both dry zone and wet zone vegetables come there before being distributed around the country, and it works 24 hours so called the sleepless city. I think if you tried to talk to some people a bit you could have good a good experience. they are staring i ges not because they want to harm you but, because you look interesting. And there is no harm anyone can do to you in public :-) And there are some people with very good knowledge about for e.g. places like Dambulla cave temple, and if you talked to someone before or on tour you could get much more understanding about these places and a better experience. And the videos are great none the less :-)

I have watched most of your Sri Lanka video series and your are doing fine job.most of the people who associate with you are not in sufficient knowledge.Buddhism offers a path to understanding the nature of reality and finding true happiness and fulfillment in life.

you go RITIGALA | Ancient buddhist monastery

[@dhammikathushara5431]

After watching this, I thought I should say something. It must be said that there are many shortcomings in the information given to you about these places. The story behind it is much bigger than what we see with our eyes, and we are personally saddened about it.

People staring at you because you are beautiful and you look like a Indian/Sri Lankan looking celebrity.

Nalanda is not belong to hindu tradition.it was built in rawan era.there is a art like doing sexual thing or something thats why they say that ancient structure belong to hindu. Firstly it used by kings.later king make it as buddhist monastery and offer it to buddha and buddhist monk.

Lol, Buddhist temples have no any restrictions as such. That guy had no idea

[@amithrodrigo87]

So as a Buddhist let me explain why our Tamil brothers may have set such a rule banning foreigners from entering certain extremely holy areas of the temple. See foreigners come from all sorts of places and backgrounds and even you will agree that all are not well behaved, and well mannered in a equal way, some can be angels some can be ass holes. Buddhist or Hindu, All such holy places require certain level of body cleansing before even you set foot inside. Example as a Buddhist I don't even light the Oil lamp in the small shrine in my own house without first taking a shower and cleaning myself. When I could , its my damn house right, but I won't. Its a matter of devotion and respect. You cant expect that from all the foreign travellers, they may travel to a fish market or a meat shop and then visit a holy temple on the way. So rather than managing all these cases one by one in a country frequently visited by thousands of foreigners, the lack of manpower to manage all that may have resulted in such a general rule for all foreigners. (Hope that makes sense) Its not being Racist, its being respectful to the sacred place and being practical too . If some one kicked you out from a holy place for being a foreigner well that is racist. :) Peace.

[@sanjeewaakmeemana4842]

What the security says in hindu temple you can't go they not sure you ate any meat before you come to the temple. If you not surely you can go. That's what he explained to the your guide. Your guide translated to you wrong. That's not different standards.

[@nutl00se73]

Even the security guard was wrong. The guide should have spoken to the priest & explained.

[@eshikaudayanawanigasekara]

Some Kovils head of Sawami gave rules so Rules are different.

[@stinnywee1945]
