" If you have that culture of kindness in Sri Lanka..." Well said, madam. I really appreciate what you say. The exact word is, "if". Being a prominent Buddhist country, it is paramount that those who adhere to Lord Buddah's teaching adhere to his damma. Kindness is the theme of his preachings. If Sri Lankan Buddhists adhere to his teachings, then this country would really be the Pearl of the Indian Ocean. Thank you, madam.

Absolutely amazing! Around 2018, during a monthly meditation program at her university, an Asapuwa Buddhist monk passionately advocated for the implementation of a TED talk model program to enrich the university stage with valuable knowledge resources. But no one cared. Now, they are successfully presenting TED talks. I strongly believe that Japura University should consider initiating a similar program at their university.

0:01 0:01 0:01 Professor Malavige is an amazing lady, down to earth and so humble with her position and qualifications All of us, Sri Lankans have a lot to learn from a person of this calibre. I am not in the least surprised at the topic she is speaking on, so important and relevant for our country in this day and age It works for all of us irrespective of peer group or age. I am an old person writing this. Blessings

Well, call it kindness if you must. I would say that it's the willful collective responsibility of a group of people who's intention is the betterment of mankind instead if winning accolades singularly for themselves. I wish you all the very best madam Prof Neelika, to show the way in this academic Vipers' pit of Sri Lanka. And I insist that this kindness towards all without any discrimination should be cultivated in childhood by the immediate carers, parents, grandparents & primary teachers onwards by example 🙏

Great Neelika. A few knows the contribution you and your team made. But not a single politician. You know how the minister made money putting the patients at risk. Anyway you have chosen the most suitable topic which have been taught to us 2600 years ago, but people are not just bothered. 'Karaneeya metta kusalena ......'❤

The theme has a relevance to her personal experiences. It has impacted her and has led to greater achievements. Thus, it could give a message to the world and to current world affairs in a more broader sense and perspective. Love, kindness, and compassion are major components under her theme. Truley practising of those by anybody will achieve desired results, and the world will become a peaceful and better place for everyone! It also has a much relevance in today's context. Thank you for the presentation! Best wishes for your future endeavours!

Good lesson. Entering University of Ceylon , Engineering faculty before became University of Sri Lanka as an Electrical and Electronic undergraduate we came across lot of harassment (academic nature) from few of my lecturers. We were not extended kindness/support but humiliation. However, this thuggery had developed my strength (thick skin) to withstand any calamity. While following my Masters in Australia, I have observed the support and kindness from all academic staff with no differentiation. I believe the root cause of Sri Lanka's destruction and current state because most of them are arrogant.

It’s our culture made people to be selfish. We are a nation that understood generosity in a different way therefore they are not really helping each other .
