A Sinhala-language book on merit-making in Buddhist practice, written by Wasantha Kuruppu. The whole text is in Sinhala, with no English translation, so it will suit readers who are comfortable reading the language.
Its starting point is the Buddhist understanding of saṃsāra: that we are born and die and are born again, in a course that does not stop of its own accord. The next existence may be a comfortable one or a sorrowful one. The book's argument is that where a painful rebirth lies ahead, it can be averted — and that the means of doing so is sustained attention to merit and to the Dhamma. The work is offered as a way opened towards that end.
The publisher is M. D. Gunasena & Co. (Pvt) Ltd, a Sri Lankan house publishing in Sinhala and English. The book sits with the devotional and practical titles that Sinhala readers keep at home for reference rather than with academic writing on Buddhism, and it is of interest to Sri Lankan readers abroad who want material of this kind in their own language.
