Aim of this blog

Who am i ?
Does it matter who i am?
There is no one called "I" for i am a combination of elements. What is called "naama" consists of following: Veedana, Sangna, Sankara, Vinghana
whilst 'roopa" is the fetus which consist [at the very basic level] of patavi/aapo/thejo/vayo.
Therefore there is NO "I" but 5 skanda's namely roopa, veedana, sangna,sankara & vinghana.
However we have to have a name for the convenience of the rest of the world so this combination of elements are given a name, in my case it is called "Priyantha".
Who i am and what i do is of no importance but what i want to do is to create an awareness regarding various aspects of Buddhism among the visitors to this blog but all i intend to do is to publish what is written by learned scholars and not just my views. In KALAMA SUTHRA, our Lord Buddha says not to accept just any thing but to see whether that will help you to understand the four Noble truth and if it does to take it as his teaching and if not to ignore it.
Hope these published articles will help you in understanding the four noble truth.
Budu Saranai.
