Our Heritage - කැළණිය




කැළණිය ශ්‍රී ලංකාවේ අගනුවර වන කොළඹ ආසන්නයේ පිහිටි කුඩා නගරයකි. එය ගම්පහ දිස්ති‍්‍රක්කයට අයත්වන අතර කොළඹ නුවර සහ බියගම මාර්ග වලට මැදිව පිහිටා ඇත. කැළණි ගඟ ආසන්නයේ පිහිටා ඇති බැවින් කැළණියට එම නම ලැබී ඇත.

කැළණියේ පළමු ඉතිහාස සටහන ගෞතම බුද්ධ (බුද්ධ වර්ශ 5 වන සියවස) සමයේ ලියවී ඇත. එහි කැළණි ගඟ අසබඩ පිහිටි කැළණි විහාරය පිළිබද සටහන් ඇත. බුදු රඡාණන් වහන්සේ බුධත්වයෙන් අට වන වර්ෂයේ වෙසක් පුර පසළොස්වක පෝදා ලක්දිව කැළණියට වැඩම කරන ලද්දේ මණි අක්ඛික නා රඡුගේ ආරාධනාවකට අනුවය.එම රඡු බුදුරඡාණන් වහන්සේ වෙත වැඩ හිඳිමට මැණික් පුටුවක් තැනවීය.කැළණි දාගැබ තැනවී ඇත්තේ එම මැණික් පුටුව තැන්පත් කරමිනි.කැළණි විහාරය කැළණි තිස්ස රාඡ්‍ය කාලයේ විශාල භික්ෂු පිරිසක්වැඩසිටි බවට සාක්ෂි වේ.

තවද කැළණි නගරය ඵෙතිහාසික වශයෙන් වැදගත්කමක් ගන්නේ එය කැළණිතිස්ස රජුගේ (බුද්ධ වර්ශ පළමු සියවස) ප‍්‍රධාන නගරය වූ බැවිනි. පහළොස්වන සියවස කාලයේ ලියැවුණු සැළලිහිණි සංදේශයෙහි කැළණි පුරවර පිළිබඳව අගනා වර්ණනා ඇතුලතවී ඇත. ලාංකික ඉතිහාසය පිළිබඳ දැකුම්කළු සිතුවම් රාශියක් සෝලියස් මෙන්ඩිස් චිත‍්‍ර ශිල්පියා විසින් කැළණි විහාරයේ සිතුවම්කර ඇත.

තවද සෑම වසරකම පැවැත්වෙන දුරුතුමහා පෙරහැර නැරඹීමට දහස් සංඛාත බෞද්ධයන් අමතක නොකරති. කැළණි විශ්ව විද්‍යාලය කැළණි නගරයේ කොළඹ-නුවර මාර්ගයට ආසන්නව පිහිටා ඇත.

Pandorum (2009) TS HQ XviD-FUSiON

Image
FUSION bring us this nice HQ TS of “Pandorum”. Quality of release is decent and watchable for a TS copy. Plot: Two crew members are stranded on a spacecraft and quickly – and horrifically – realize they are not alone. Two astronauts awaken in a hyper-sleep chamber aboard a seemingly abandoned spacecraft. It’s pitch black, they are disoriented, and the only sound is a low rumble and creak from the belly of the ship. They can’t remember anything: Who are they? What is their mission? With Lt. Payton staying behind to guide him via radio transmitter, Cpl. Bower ventures deep into the ship and begins to uncover a terrifying reality. Slowly the spacecraft’s shocking, deadly secrets are revealed…and the astronauts find their own survival is more important than they could ever have imagined.
