Chief Incumbent of Seruwila Mangala Raja Maha Vihare Most Ven. Dodampahala Chandasiri Thera has written to the Commissioner of Buddhist Affairs against Ven. Aludeniye Subodhi purportedly clamping to have been appointed head of his temple.
Asserting that he had been duly appointed chief incumbent of the temple as decided by Sangha council of Kalyanawansika chapter of Amarapura Nikaya, he said Ven. Subodhi Thera had made false claims through the media.
He said Ven. Subodhi Thera had misled the public by making such remarks through the media without any basis.
Ven. Chandasiri Thera requested the Commissioner to act in this regard as otherwise the historic temple would be brought to disrepute by such conduct unbecoming of a member of Maha Sanga.
