The Vision of Most Ven Siri Samanthabhadra Arahath Thero

Most Ven Siri Samanthabhadra Arahath Thero's distinctive concept, Umandawa, is spread across 70 acres in Malsiripura, Kurunegala. The Thero envisioned a master plan to create an aesthetically pleasing and environmentally friendly 'walking monastery' with hamlets, gravel paths, gardens, organic farms, ponds and large bodies of water, and sculptures.

The environment's balance was restored by planting rain gardens and growing a variety of plants, flowers, and trees, both native and exotic to Sri Lanka. In this way, wildlife has been encouraged to thrive at Umandawa. The Thero created a healthy, nourishing environment in which people can learn how to live in harmony with one another and with the Earth.
