Theavada Buddhist Philosophy

---

Cultural Ecology, an introduction to Theavada Buddhist Philosophy. We had a two hour lecture which covered what is normally covered in a full semester course. We all wished to learn more and Professor Premasiri agreed to join us for dinner and continue the conversation. The Buddhist reverence for all life has ramifications for wildlife management.

We leave for an overnight trip to Horton Plains with botanist Professor Wijesundera. The road is under major repair. There is some question as to whether or not we will be able to get all the way to Horton Plain. Travel is very slow as we wind back and forth, climbing our way past villages and tea plantations. We stop in Nuwara Eliya for a Chinese dinner and met some people from Canada. Then it is back onto the bus to Hakgala Gardens where we will spend the night.
