Ambassador Samarasinghe, in his address, highlighted that it was the venerable Maha Sangha who, throughout Sri Lanka’s  history, fought to protect Sri Lankas cultural heritage and Buddhist traditions. He provided numerous examples, especially from the 450 years of colonial occupation when Buddhism was under threat, and that thousands of monks sacrificed their lives to preserve a tradition that dates back 2,500 years. The Ambassador further noted that there are approximately 85 Sri Lankan Theravada Buddhist temples across the U.S. and that the venerable priests at these temples and meditation centers are the true ambassadors of Sri Lanka. This is why Sri Lankan Buddhists revere the venerable monks.
