We gathered with the Sri Lankan community tonight at the Nevada Buddhist Temple to share our meritorious deed with those of who passed away due to this unfortunate and unprecedented tragedy that took place yesterday night in Las Vegas. We literally had a short time to acknowledge the Sri Lankans to gather at the temple but all as a Sri Lankan community shared our greatest and deepest sympathy for those who were lost their loved ones and injured during this tragic event. We also must take a moment to contemplate on the impermanence and how fragile the life is. There are many ways to die than to live in this world. 

           We wish that power of the meritorious deed or wholesome energy shared tonight with those of who were passed away and might live in misery to transcend to a better realm of existence. May this act of compassion console the family members and loved ones who has been experiencing grief, anger, shock and fear since yesterday night.   

             Buddhists handbook or Dhammapadha verse 125 states, “Who offends the inoffensive, the innocent and blameless one, upon that fool does evil fall as fine dust flung against the wind.”  

May Noble Triple Gem Bless You!
