NOTIFICATION to the Sri Lankan Ministry of Education

Case No. 35/2017: University of Kelaniya

NOTIFICATION to the Sri Lankan Ministry of Education

On November 28, 2017, the International Buddhist Ethics Committee & Buddhist Tribunal on Human Rights communicates with the Sri Lankan Ministry of Education following the Judgment that has been made against the University of Kelaniya for the crimes of Plagiarism and Violation of Cultural Heritage, which was sentenced from the event that this University has plagiarized the discipline of "Buddhist Psychoanalysis" developed by the Maitriyana Community. Although the University of Kelaniya was offered permission to teach this discipline on the condition that they recognize the authorship of the genuine creators, its members have refused and have decided to ignore the Buddhist Law system, even though they technically are a Buddhist University.

The International Buddhist Ethics Committee & Buddhist Tribunal on Human Rights clearly considers that the Sri Lankan Ministry of Education should mediate in this conflict and supervise that the University of Kelaniya does not commit crimes. The International Buddhist Ethics Committee & Buddhist Tribunal on Human Rights requests the Sri Lankan Ministry of Education to intervene and recommend the University of Kelaniya to ask for public apologies for their infractions against the intangible cultural heritage of the Maitriyana Community.

With spirit of Reconciliation (Maitri),

H.E. Master Maitreya Samyaksambuddha

President and Judge of the International Buddhist Ethics Committee & Buddhist Tribunal on Human Rights
