There's nothing to be proud of. I'm Sri Lankan and I'm Buddhist and yet I never bragged about it like this. It's js cringe when people do it. They don't realize they are not special.

[@blowin6357]

Hi That Badass Life, A Sri Lankan here. I noticed most of the foreigners are afraid to (Or maybe doubting to) Attend to dansals. Maybe because that's an experience most people don't have in other countries.
So, Thank you very much for your video explaining everything to others. We want more foreigners to enjoy the best of Sri Lanka. That's all. Dansal people won't ask anything in return. So you should just enjoy a free meal.
Thank you.

[@ThatBadassLife]

Wow that’s interesting. I would think every foreigner would be down to dansal.

Nice explanation.
Dansal means free offering to
Poor, travelers , and to misfortunate
(Dugee, mage, yachaka) according to lord BUDDHA S preaching.
That's what the Buddhists are practicing by offering and organising DANSAL

[@ThatBadassLife]

Thanks so much for sharing.

[@tangocharlie02]

And you dont have to be poor.It is freely offered to all with pure thoughts.

no .True history was changed during the British colonial period. Buddha was born in Sri Lanka. You look into this. The history education taught in Sri Lanka is a lie.

Where shall I look into this because in all countries we’ve been so far they say Buddha was born in Lumbini.

@@ThatBadassLife a Srilankan Buddhist here. You’re right, Buddha was born in lumbini Nepal. Buddha born in SL is a fallacy some of SL people fell for. British had no reason to change those facts. If they could they’d do otherwise, cos Indian freedom fighters were the bigger threat to them those days.

losing the essence of Buddhism even on such days!
