Item A Comparative Analysis of Epistemology in Samkhya and Buddhist Philosophy for Wellbeing of Human Society(New Frontiers in Sanskrit & Indic Knowledge (NFSI 2019), 2019) Gnanasena Thero, Rev. WalapaneIndia is a country where multiple views of philosophy existed. Pertaining to Buddhist Literature (Digh p.80) there were sixty two schools of philosophical notions in India, except Buddhism. The six systems, viz Nydya, Vaisheshika, Sdmkhya, Mim6nsd. and, Vedanta are prominent between and among them. These philosophical concepts, except Sdmkhya are besed on Vedic teachings. SEmkhya system is different from those others, because of accepting dualism. The duality in SEmkhya is the first cause ( Prakryti) and soul (Purusha), Both in Buddhism and Sdmkhya contain useful and valuable data according to all the four main branches of Philosophy namely Metaphysics, Epistemology, Ethics and Cosmology. Buddhism is entirely distinct doctrine not only from Sdmkhya but also from the other canons in all over the world. Buddhist and Sdmkhya philosophy focus on emancipation themselves. In accordance with these two concepts, the followers who wish the weilbeing of the society and to attain salvation should gain the knowledge for their mindfulness. Absence of knowledge the person will not be able to develop his mind. A person failing to build mind up becomes danger to society. Human beings must, therefore, grasp the knowledge for their mindfulness, for wellbeing of the society. Both Buddhism and Sdmkhya have a specific path for acquiring knowledge. Buddhism recommends two fold activities such as perception and inference for grasping the knowledge. The S6mkhya accept these two fold activities referred to in Buddhism itself and in addition to that the revelation or suiptural testimony. (S.K.a) Thus the two of these philosophical concepts led their followers to make a peaceful society and an attempt to discover the liberation by gaining knowledge through these two or three fold activities. Various similarities and differences can be. seen in connection with theory of knowledge predicted in these two doctrines. I propose to examine them in this research.Item Preface to prakrutivaada(Journal of the Faculty of Humanities, University of Kelaniya, 2009) Walapane, GnanasenaItem The soil testing as revealed in Sanskrit Architectural Sources(1st Sanskrit Symposium organized by the Department of Sanskrit University of Kelaniya, 2011) Rewatha, UdawelaItem Vakyam Rasatmakam kavyam(Journal of Faculty of Humanities, University of Kelaniya, 2010) Rewatha, UdawelaThe poem is a picturesque art media as it filled with the joyful attractions. That joyfulness depends on the interesting. The poem without an interesting is not a real one. The canon of the poem admirers is that the sentence included the interesting is a poem. That is the regular feature in every poem. The poem filled with the interesting come across in the Sanskrit literature is a best example for this. The Sanskrit poem comprised with the interesting has not automatically delivered one. This has started as results of many incidents which have being grown from a long time. Deferent definitions were presented about the interesting of the poem by various admirers. Equalities and inequalities of them can be seen and the majority expectation is that there is nothing except the soul called the interesting in which it hid. This feature can be seen among the creation of the first Sanskrit poets but many creations after them are separated from heartily interesting for they had tried to enter them an artificial nature.Item Concepts of buddhist and other religions on Ideology of Parammarana(Journal of the Faculty of Humanities, University of Kelaniya, 2008) Walapane, GnanasenaItem The Place of women in Sanskrit Literature - in Sanskrit(1st Sanskrit Symposium organized by the Department of Sanskrit, University of Kelaniya, 2011) Rewatha, UdawelaItem Psychological Aspects depicted in Indian evolution theory"(Journal of the Faculty of Humanities, University of Kelaniya, 2008) Walapane, GnanasenaItem Measurements Of House Planning In Sri Lanka based on Theorems Of Vastu(International Research Conference Conducted by University Of Jayawardhanapura, 2012) Rewatha, UdawelaItem The Influence of Architectural Theories to the Health(1st Sanskrit Symposium organized by the Department of Sanskrit, University of Kelaniya, 2011) Rewatha, Udawela
