The history of Ceylon tea, the finest Black tea in the world runs far back to Sri Lanka’s colonial period (1815-1948). Until the year 1869, Coffee industry of Sri Lanka,
then called Ceylon was a lucrative business to the colonial era
planters of the beautiful Indian Ocean Island. Second to none among the
planters, mainly ...British, was legendary Sinhalese Coffee planter,
“Rothschild of Ceylon”, Sir Charles Henry De Soysa (1836-1890) of Moratuwa (western coastal belt of Sri Lanka)
who prided on management of his estates with no European whoever on the
payroll. The business of European & Ceylonese planters was
business. They made money. http://theblacktealeaf.com/black-tea-sco

Recently a friend of mine wrote to me “When the US was massacring in cold blood Buddhist Vietnamese, the Buddhists in Sri Lanka never raised a word against them - nor did any Buddhist volunteer to go to Vietnam and fight on behalf of his brothers” Such
absurd statements are products of the ‘Frog in the wall” mentality. ...To
make a short story short, it must be said to make such statements is to
labour under the delusion that one religion could be viewed through a
lens of another religion. Everyman for himself & God against all.In order to encapsulate, firstly, it
must be stated that there is no conception of a Buddhist Brotherhood or
Buddhist brothers: according to Buddhism all humans are brother
irrespective of the race or religion. Secondly, Buddhism has no
militant streak as in some religions;it denounces all forms of violence
to the ultimate border making no provision for so called defensive
militancy even where life or the religion is being threatened or being
destroyed. Thirdly Budhist have never preached or practicsed aggressive
conceptions such as anti-capitalism or anti communism:while mainly
Buddhist China has been Communist, mainly Buddhist Japan has been
Capitalist. Thirdly Buddhist have never displayed a paranoid hatred of United States of America in spite of atriccities commited against Japan, Korea, Vietnam & Cambodia.
Most of all practice of Buddhism never given birth to conceptions
similar to hysterical anti-Semitism & anti-Americanism
manifestations of which were shell-shocked into the psyche of the rest
of the world on 11th September 2001.

Tour the ancient island of Sri Lanka with Riolta Lanka Holidays, Sri Lanka. The oldest name of Ceylon, & one by which it is still known in many Oriental countries, is Lanka. The word Sinhaladivipa (I...sland of the Lion Race) passed to Selediba, Serendiva, Serendib, & so to the Arabian Selan Diva, the Portuguese Ceilao, the Dutch Zeilan & the British Ceylon. With the exception of Egypt & Babylon, there is no country perhaps whose lost history has been more dramatically restored than that of Ceylon. A hundred years ago there existed merely a legend of Rama’s battle with the Apes, a tradition of Adam’s Peak & such confused items of history as Valentyne had collected & published in Dutch in 1726. Then, in 1826, a book was found by an Englishman capable of appreciating it: & it transpired that Ceylon had kept a dynastic history, second in importance only to that of China. Old generations were made to live again with amazing wealth of detail, & with a charming humanity. Authentic history was pushed back to a period nearly four centuries B.C.

Big Buddha & Little I: my inspiration from Buddhism. Written by bunpeiris.
Robert Knox, escaping in 1679 from a long captivity among the
Sinhalese, had brought home stories of “a world of hewn stone pillars”
he had passed during his flight through Anuradhapura. His narrative was
printed in 1817. Nearly a century & a half a...fter Knox’s journey, a
pioneer officer, Lieutenant Mitchell Henry Fagan of the 2nd Ceylon
Regiment, forcing his way through almost impenetrable undergrowth in
1820 had come face to face with a colossal statue gazing out at him
from the foliage: Gal Vihara.
A colossal figure of Buddha cut from a granite wall was most serenely
gazing at him from out of the foliage. "I cannot describe what I felt
at that moment," he wrote. Neither could I when I first saw the great
statues at the tender age of 8. It was like dream that you dream when
just about to wake up. And you wake up with the dream & still on a
cloud. But the upright Big Buddha most definitely smiled at me. Am I
dreaming? No, Big Buddha smiled again.
Since then, for a decade, I had been traveling yearly with my maternal
grandfather who used to take all his relations & friends numbering
around 30 for pilgrimage of fortnight at his expense on yearly basis
during his prosperous days. Imagine 4 a.m. Lakshpatiya, Moratuwa, Sri
Lanka, late 1960s, young & old relations & friends all in full
swing, pilgrim mode, spellbinding stories of village serpent medic
Grand uncle Romeal (still tall and as straight as an arrow in Clint
Eastwood style), Pol mal (coconut fronds), Ebert Silva passenger bus,
Buddhist Homage Gathas (Thunyam sarane), large metal cauldrons &
large clay pots, stuff & goods, baskets & sacks, dhal & dry
fish, spices & local Palm honey sweet. How do you begin to write,
how do you end writing ... I have no idea.
My father (Baminaheennadige Donald Benedict Peiris, Lakshapatiya Rd.,
Moratuwa read "THERE'S A KIND OF HUSH" in www.bunpeiris.com) had been
warning my maternal grandfather against excessive advertisements.
Headstrong & flamboyant to the boot, my maternal grand father
(Prangige Silmon Peter Peiris Gunaratne, Lakshapatiya, Moratuwa) had a
devil may care attitude & paid scent respect to book keeping.
Somebody had been following his two page advertisements in newspapers,
musical advertisement at 11 am on Radio Ceylon: Aswaya gone tik tik.
(then kids hit song Come’n Let’s ride the horse) Kumara Shanthiya
(meaning Blessings to the Prince in Sanskrit) sure-fire Ayurvedic
medication syrup of infants, toddlers, the tender young for all stomach
upsets. The high flying stalwart was destined, most unfortunately, to
have his wings clipped.
Another decade later, the greatest spoil sport of all time, Department
of Inland Revenue of Ceylon made Ayu. Dr. Prangige Silmon Peter Peiris
Gunaratne of Sri Vijaya Oushada Shalwa (Shri Vijaya Medical Hall, next
to Vijitha Cinema, Ratmalana, Sri Lanka) bankrupt. How the mighty have
fallen! Like an enormous tree that gave shade to all who came. My
flamboyant philanthropist grandfather who had a couple of 1 Shri
licence plate British made Austin Cambridge cars & a sizeable
property of lands & houses lost all. The concept of Sri Lanka
Holidays commenced forming in the hearts of hearts.
Another decade later when I remarked I would love to set up luxury tour
operations to draw in foreign tourists to show off my land & name
the tour package Peter Peiris Fortnight, my father chuckled that my
maternal grandfather would turn in his grave: his was charity
pilgrimage with no pretensions of comforts at all; my dreams were of
luxury travel with a view to profit. Not exactly, this is Sri Lanka
Holidays, the Total Holiday Experience, I protested. I went on pushing
my point. All the same, it’s a fair deal, I take my country to them, or
rather bring them to my land, I argued. I reveal for them to revel with
Sri Lanka Holidays. The concept of Sri Lanka Holidays commenced
simmering in my mind.
In time, my grandfather was to provide me the inspiration to compose
108 web page website on Sri Lanka with great emphasis on the numerous
Buddhist cultural attractions of the Island.
Unlike the German tourists, the British tourists seek for touring
holiday packages with cultural orientation. After all it was them who
rediscovered the lost cities of Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa &
Sigiriya of Sri Lanka Holidays.
I am still striving to get a steady stream of British tourists.
Everything will be fine in another couple of years: Riolta Lanka
Holidays presents Sri Lanka Holidays Peter Peiris Fortnight. We reveal
for you to revel with SRI LANKA HOLIDAYS.
