Pitiduwe Thera's Flower Walk on Vesak Day

Siri Samanthabaddhra (Pitiduwe) Thera of Sri Sadaham Ashram in Dehiwala was engaged in an act of begging for alms from door to door last Vesak day and the manner in which he went about that act has now aroused a dialogue over the internet.

This Thera who has announced that he has
achieved the Path and Fruition has gone begging for alms on the road walking over the flowers thrown continuously by young men and young women. It could be hypothesized that someone witnessing this scene is made to believe that this is someone who has achieved an extraordinary state of existence. Some photos of that instance, from below
