      <image:title>News - Honouring the Walk for Peace in Washington</image:title>
      <image:caption>On 10 February 2026, the Most Venerable Katugastota Uparatana Nayaka Thera joined Buddhist and interfaith leaders at Washington National Cathedral to welcome the monks of the historic Walk for Peace as they reached the nation’s capital. Led by the Venerable Bhikkhu Pannakara, nineteen Theravada Buddhist monks had travelled approximately 2,300 miles on foot from Fort Worth, Texas, to Washington, D.C., over 108 days. Their pilgrimage carried a simple but profound message: peace, unity and kindness begin within each person and may radiate outward to families, communities and society. Later, during the concluding programme at American University, Bhante presented an honorary plaque to Venerable Pannakara and the Maha Sangha on behalf of the Sri Lankan Buddhist Viharas of America. The plaque honoured their faithful observance of the Theravada Buddhist path and their extraordinary offering of peace, compassion, discipline and wisdom to the American people. Maryland Buddhist Vihara was honoured to share in this welcome and recognition. May the monks’ example continue to inspire mindfulness, goodwill and harmony across the United States and beyond.

      <image:title>News - Bhante Honoured at Vidyalankara Pirivena’s 150th Anniversary - On Sunday, 2 November 2025, the Most Venerable Katugastota Uparatana Nayaka Thera was honoured at the “Yelasiya Abiman” celebration marking the 150th anniversary of Vidyalankara Pirivena in Kelaniya, Sri Lanka. The ceremony, held at the Kelaniya Vidyalankara International Buddhist Conference Hall under the patronage of President Anura Kumara Dissanayake, brought together members of the Maha Sangha, public officials and well-wishers. Bhante received an honorary title—a fitting recognition of his distinguished religious, educational and community service. He was honoured alongside the Most Venerable Karagoda Uyangoda Maitrimurthi Thera, Mahanayaka of the Amarapura Maha Nikaya, and the Most Venerable Makulewe Vimala Thera, Mahanayaka of the Ramanna Maha Nikaya. Founded on 1 November 1875, Vidyalankara Pirivena has long stood among Sri Lanka’s foremost centres of Buddhist and classical learning. Its legacy also gave rise to the institution that became the University of Kelaniya in 1978. The Maryland Buddhist Vihara community rejoices in this recognition of Bhante’s decades of service to the Buddha Sāsana and to communities in Sri Lanka and the United States.  Sadhu! Sadhu!! Sadhu!!!</image:title>
