Sri Lankan Monastery
Sri Lanka Monastery
A Sinhalese-style temple in the east zone, with a white stupa and murals of Jataka tales inside the main hall as the highlights.
The Sri Lankan Monastery belongs to the Theravada zone. The interior of its main hall is painted with brightly colored murals depicting the Jataka tales and scenes from the Buddha's life. The courtyard has a white bell-shaped stupa and a bodhi tree, and its style is consistent with temples in Sri Lanka. The monastery often hosts Sri Lankan pilgrimage groups, and the lamp-offering ceremonies around Vesak are especially grand. It is a few minutes' walk from the Myanmar Golden Temple. Entry is free. Shoes must be removed before entering the hall.
