Kangyur was first written in these sacred caves...

Aluvihara Rock Temple in Srilanka

It was the historic location where the Pāli Canon was first written down completely in text on ola (palm) leaves.

The significance of Aluvihara is the writing of the Tripitaka in Pali (Buddhist scriptures – Vinaya Pitaka, Abhidhamma Pitaka, and Sutra Pitaka). After the Buddha’s ‘Parinirvana’ (passing away), the Buddha Dhamma (Buddha’s preaching) was passed on from generation to generation, verbally (mukha paramparawa) by his pupils.

In the 1st Century B.C., during King Walagamba’s time, there had been a famine for 12 years which was known as ‘Baminithiyasaya’. There was also a South Indian invasion at the same time. In addition, the Anuradhapura Mahavihara Bhikkhus were divided. The bhikkhus realized that these problems would be a danger to the Buddha Dhamma. Due to the famine, they had to eat yams, roots, and leaves and underwent a difficult time. Under these conditions, memorizing and repeating the Dhamma was difficult. Some went to India, others left Anuradhapura and about 60 Bhikkhus went to Malaya Rata which is said to be the hill country. They lived on the banks of the Mahaweli River under harsh conditions. They saw dead animals. The Theras were weak and realized that the Buddha Dhamma was in danger of being lost.

After surviving the twelve years and the return of King Walagamba from hiding after fourteen years, the bhikkhus who went to India and the hill country returned to Kallagama Janapadaya. At the Mandalaramaya they discussed and decided that they should write the ‘Tripitaka’ to preserve the Dhamma for future generations. However, they realized that Anuradhapura was not suitable for this purpose and decided on ‘Aloka Lena’ in Mathula Janapadaya (Aluvihara in Matale).

They selected 500 Maha Theras for this purpose with Maha Thera Kunthagattha Tissa who was in Thuparama to guide them. They came to Aluvihara and with the patronage of Mathula Janapadaadipathi (a chief) wrote the Tripitaka in Pali.

ALMS HALL AS REFECTORY in Mihintale, Srilanka

Originally, wandering monks collected food by going from house to house in villages. After they settled down in permanent monasteries it became more common that villages visited them for donating food to them or that lay helpers working in the monastery prepared the meals inside the monastery. The inscription of King Mahinda IV mentioned above(watch at end) tells us details about the lay servants and their duties and their salaries. There were 12 cooks employed in this refectory, as well as a warden and several additonal servants who provided firewood. However, the name "alms" refers to the original practice according to the canonical monastic rules: All meals of the monks are gifted by laymen.

One extraordinary feature of the Alms Hall are two large stone troughs of different sizes at the eastern side, the larger one being the rice boat, the other one the gruel boat.

The courtyard was supplied with water by cisterns and covered drains. Ruins of a pipe line and drains have been discovered in and around the refectory. They belonged to the well planned-pipe borne water scheme that supplied running water from the Naga Pokuna which is located further uphill.

Today we got blessing from the Magnificent Aukana/Avukana Buddha …

Standing tall and serene, the Avukana Buddha Statue is a masterpiece of ancient Sri Lankan craftsmanship, carved from a single granite rock over 1,500 years ago. This 42-foot statue, with its intricate details and peaceful expression, is a symbol of Sri Lanka's rich cultural and spiritual heritage. Visiting Avukana is not just a journey to a historical site but an experience of timeless tranquility and devotion.
