The Buddhist Vihara at Berlin could play a major role in attracting German Buddhists to Sri Lanka, according to Tourism Deputy Minister Faiz Mustapha. The Deputy Minister told this [to] the Venerable Wilachchiye Dhammavijaya Thera during a visit to the temple this month.
Mr. Mustapha who visited the temple with a ministerial team said that the Vihara could provide Germans with basic knowledge of Buddhist meditation and related topics before sending them to Sri Lanka for further training on the subjects.
