Seth Sevana is a compassionate and meritorious initiative established with the noble intention of serving the revered Maha Sangha of Sri Lanka. Every year, hundreds of venerable monks travel from all parts of the country to Colombo seeking medical treatment at leading national hospitals such as the National Hospital of Sri Lanka, Kalubowila Teaching Hospital, Sri Jayewardenepura General Hospital, and the Maharagama Cancer Hospital. Despite their invaluable contribution to preserving and spreading the Dhamma, many of these monks face significant challenges in finding suitable accommodation, rest, and care during their treatment journeys.
Seth Sevana is designed to address this critical need by providing a peaceful, dignified, and well-equipped sanctuary where members of the Maha Sangha can rest, recover, and regain strength in a supportive environment. The facility will offer comfortable lodging and essential care, ensuring that monks can focus on their healing without concern for basic needs.
Beyond physical care, Seth Sevana aspires to nurture the spiritual well-being of its residents. The center will facilitate Buddhist insight meditation discussions, counseling sessions, and specially designed yoga and meditation programs aimed at promoting holistic healing, mental clarity, and inner peace. This integrated approach reflects the understanding that true recovery encompasses both body and mind.
This meritorious project is carried out under the guidance and blessings of Most Venerable Madihe Pannasih Thero and Most Venerable Ampitiye Sri Rahula Thero, whose visionary leadership continues to inspire its progress. The initiative is implemented by the Samma Ajeewa Society, with the support of well-wishers, donors, and volunteers who share a deep commitment to serving the Maha Sangha.
Seth Sevana stands as a symbol of gratitude, compassion, and devotion—a sanctuary dedicated to those who have dedicated their lives to the Buddha Sasana. With continued support and blessings, we strive to create a place that offers not only comfort and care, but also spiritual strength and serenity to all who reside within it.
