A Sinhala-language book of practical guidance for daily living, written by Thalpavila Seelawansa Thero and published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co. It is written entirely in Sinhala, with no English text, so it will suit readers who are comfortable in the language.
The premise is set out plainly by the publisher: the world we live in now is varied and uneven, and it keeps people busy. Against that background, the author takes the view that what a person most wants is to make their own life more worthwhile, and the book gathers advice directed at that end.
It belongs to the tradition of Sinhala writing by members of the Buddhist clergy addressed to a general lay readership rather than to students of doctrine — guidance offered for ordinary circumstances, in everyday Sinhala prose. Readers abroad who grew up reading Sinhala, and families keeping a Sinhala shelf at home, are the natural audience, as are those who follow the author's writing.
M. D. Gunasena & Co. is a long-established Colombo publishing house with a wide general list in Sinhala and English.
