Once a king named Ajasaththa planned an invasion of the Lichchavee nation, and
on hearing this, Lord Buddha addressed his disciple Ananda.
Ananda, have you heard that the Lichchavees regularly
assemble together in large numbers?
I have so heard, Ananda replied.
Well Ananda, so long as the Lichchavees assemble regularly
and in large numbers, just so long may the prosperity of the Lichchavees be looked for and not their decay.
So Ananda, as
the Lichchavees assemble in harmony and disperse in harmony,
so long as they conduct their government and business in
harmony, so long the prosperity of the Lichchavees be
looked for and not their decay.

Who We Are |

Why was the association formed
30 years ago Katunayake/ Seeduwa was
a rural village. The rapid urbanization
of the area brought with it many evils,
like drugs, addicts, prostitutes, illegal
Liquor dens etc. To guard against such
influences and rapid materialization of
the population, there was no real
organization. Therefore following Lord
Buddha’s teachings of unity among
Lichchavees, this organization was
formed to try and roll back the evil
influences to the environment and the
people.
YBA was formed in February 2004
- To foster unity among the Buddhists in the town of Katunayake - Seeduwa, Sri-Lanka.
- To help propagate Buddhism.
- To encourage discussions on Dhamma among youth.
- Help the poor in everyway not withstanding religious differences.
- Hold medical camps, eye camps, and increase awareness of environmental cleanliness.
- To fight against environment pollution and degration.
