I have visited sujata temple twise.I love sujata very much because she offered food for Siddarta Gautama in order to meditate to become an enligten-human(first) in the universe. In boodgaya I met one Mr Luxman who promoted sakya sujuta charity. He travelled with us.He is one of the freinds of Mr Wasantha from Sri Lanka. I would like to meet Luxman.
