Venerable Dr K Sri Dhammananda Nayaka Maha era is a
household name in the Buddhist world. In more than forty eight
years as incumbent of the Buddhist Maha Vihara, the Venerable
has brought the Buddha Word to countless numbers of devotees
who otherwise would have had no access to the sublime mes-
sage of the Supremely Enlightened One.
Besides his talks the Venerable has been able to reach an
even wider audience through his publications which range from
the voluminous “Dhammapada” to little ve page pamphlets.
He has reached all levels of readers from erudite scholar monks
to young schoolchildren. His whole approach to the exposition
of the Dhamma is governed by his deep concern for giving the
ancient teachings a contemporary relevance, to show that the
Sublime Message is timeless and has a meaning that cuts across
the boundaries of time, space, race culture and even religious
beliefs.

Happy events such as birth and marriage, and sad occasions like
sickness and death in a person’s existence very often necessitate
the observance of certain rites, which have been performed in
every society from time immemorial. Such rites, which origi-
nated even long before the various major world religions became
established, have been handed down by our forefathers, and in
the passage of time, have gradually assumed the form of tradi-
tional customary practices until the present day. We continue
to practise many of these rites through ignorance and fear, not
daring to change or discard them even with the acquisition of a
modern education and sophisticated life-style.
In particular many of the rites performed on sad occasions
like death and funerals are shrouded in mystery and superstition,
and very often incur a tremendous nancial burden on bereaved
families. is is one of the major reasons why many Buddhists
are easily converted to other religions because it oers good
ammunition for other religionists to hurl their criticisms and
attacks on the Buddhists. It is imperative that the Buddhist
community in this country should awaken to this situation and
make courageous eorts to make reforms in the performance of
their rites and rituals in consonance with correct Buddhist reli-
gious principles.
is book presents in a simple and understandable man-
ner the various rites which could be performed by Buddhists
on happy and sad occasions in their lives. It is hoped that they
viii
will make eorts to understand them and practise them when
the occasion arises. By so doing, they will not only attain satis-
faction and a sense of security in the knowledge that they are
performing proper Buddhist rites, but also help to enhance the
image of their own religion in the eyes of others.

e birth of a child is a happy event. Having a baby and bring-
ing him up is an adventure that can be embarked upon happily
and with condence. At the same time it means the beginning
of a long period of sacrice and responsibility for the parents.
Even though human beings are far advanced on the evolution-
ary ladder, their young normally take a long time to mature and
become independent. Parents have the onerous duty of bear-
ing the responsibility of caring for their children and nurturing
them to become useful adults of the future. However over the
centuries, societies have developed certain well-tested formulae
to guide parents in this task of child rearing. In this connec-
tion religion plays a central role in providing parents with a
framework within which to train the young in ethics, behaviour
and morality. In Buddhism, the Buddha has given very useful
advice on the duties of parents towards their children and vice
versa. e igalovada utra is perhaps the best known of these
valuable injunctions. e Buddha related an incident of how he
had once noticed a young man performing a simple ritual of
bowing to the six directions (north, south, east, west, zenith and
nadir). Upon being questioned as to the meaning and intent of
his action, the young man replied that he did not know the sig-
nicance of his performance but that he was merely following
his late father’s advice. Characteristically, the Buddha did not
condemn the young man for performing such a ritual, but gave
it a useful meaning by a practical interpretation. He said that
the act of paying respects to the six directions signies honour-
ing and fullling one’s duties and obligations to one’s parents,
teachers, religious personalities, one’s wife, children and em-
ployees. us, we see that the Buddha laid great emphasis on
a person’s relationship with others, but more especially so be-
tween parents and children. Parents must care for they children,
by allowing them their independence when the time is right
and by giving them their rightful inheritance in due course. On
the other hand, children on their part are duty-bound to care
for their parents by extending to them lial devotion. is is
done out of mutual respect and gratitude towards them and not
out of expectation of any reward in return. It is indicated here
that there is a close link between religion and parent-children
relationship. Parents should not fail to underscore the religious
signicance of the birth of a child. A family that develops its
relationship along sensible established religious lines cannot go
wrong.
Parents are duty-bound to develop such a relationship
based on their religious cultural heritage. Whilst other religion-
ists have their formal and obligatory baptisms and christenings
to perform, Buddhist parents need only bring their children to
the temple so as to re-arm their faith in the Triple Gem and to
