Sethapenawasa Building  

The establishment of the Sethapenawasa Building provides essential accommodation for the Maha Sangha. Just as swans travel from place to place without leaving footprints, so too will this sanctuary support the spiritual well-being of the monks of the Jethavanārāma Monastery, who live with few possessions and without fixed resting places.

We extend our heartfelt blessings to all who contributed to the Sethapenawasa Building. May the immeasurable merit generated through this noble endeavour shine forth and bring peace, happiness, and well-being to all beings.
