A Sinhala-language religious reader for Buddhist children in the primary grades, this opens a series published by M. D. Gunasena & Co. to introduce the basic matters of the Buddha's teaching to young learners. The text is entirely in Sinhala, so a reader or an adult reading aloud will need the language.
The material covers paying homage to the Triple Gem, devotional verses and other gāthā, Jātaka stories, and the life of the Buddha, along with a number of exemplary tales intended to settle children into good habits from an early age. The publisher also recommends it as a supplementary reader for Buddhist children, which suggests it sits comfortably alongside classroom work rather than replacing it.
It will suit Sinhala-speaking families abroad looking for daham pasala material of the kind used at home, teachers running Sunday dhamma classes in Sinhala, and parents who want their children's first encounter with verses and Jātaka stories to be in the language they are usually recited in.
