Описание: Bakkula Maha Seya

Have you heard about Bakkula Arahath Thero who lived for 160 years without any illness? Today we are going to show you about the only shrine in Sri Lanka built for Bakkula Arahath Thero.

Bakkula Maha Saya is located in the Horana area of ​​Kalutara District in the Western Province of Sri Lanka. This stupa, which is about 130 feet in height, is made in the shape of a bubble (bubbulakara). This Bakkula Maha Saya was built according to the concept of Galigamuwe Gnanadeepa Thero.

Bakkula Maha Seya is truly a hidden gem and a remarkable place for anyone seeking spiritual peace and cultural heritage. Located in a serene and natural environment, this sacred site offers visitors a deeply calming and inspiring atmosphere. As you approach the temple, you are welcomed by the peaceful surroundings, tall trees, and the soft chants of monks echoing through the air.
The stupa (Maha Seya) itself is beautifully constructed, symbolizing both ancient craftsmanship and religious devotion. The entire premises are well-maintained, clean, and surrounded by greenery, which makes it ideal for meditation, prayer, and peaceful reflection. The area is not overly crowded, so it offers a quiet space to connect with your inner self and engage in Buddhist rituals without disturbance.

The specialty of this Stupa is that a replica of Sri Maha Bodhi has been built in the center of the Stupa. The statues of 89 Maharahats have been carved around the Bodhi. A casket with a height of about 7 feet is placed here.

The monks and temple staff are friendly, respectful, and always willing to help or explain the significance of the location. You can light oil lamps, offer flowers, and spend time in silent contemplation. Whether you are a local devotee or a foreign traveler interested in Sri Lanka’s rich Buddhist history, this place will leave a lasting impression on your heart.

Bakkula Maha Seya is not just a religious site—it’s a peaceful retreat from the busy world.
And those of you who come to worship Bakkula Maha Saya will be able to give another charitable contribution, that is to be able to give a contribution to the "Sheela Suva Arana Gillan Bhikshu Hospital" established next to this place.
