Message from João Petersen

The Sudharmalaya Temple, nestled in the heart of Galle Fort, is a serene Buddhist temple that offers a peaceful escape from the bustling streets. With its white-painted exterior and a statue of Buddha gazing out to sea, the temple exudes a sense of tranquility. Inside, visitors can admire a mini stupa dating back to 1889, a reclining Buddha statue, and attend yoga classes in the prayer hall. The temple is not just a religious site but also a symbol of the harmonious coexistence of different faiths within the fort, where Muslims, Christians, and Buddhists live side by side in peace.
