“I would like to humbly share with you this special honor presented to me by the Supreme Monks Council of Sri Lanka. This award represents recognition of the work that I do around the world which is supported by hundreds of people across many countries. Such recognition of what I do with great love truly humbles me and encourages me to continue to bring the message of peace and healing to the world. This also serves as a reminder to work harder to alleviate suffering and continue to make a difference in this world” – Bhante Y. Wimala
