Bhikkhu Indasoma Siridantamahāpālaka planned to go to Sri Lanka in February of 2024 for a specific purpose related to the preservation of Buddha Tooth Relics. The decision stemmed from an encounter in Gaya, December 2023 ,India, during the International Sangha Forum, where a Myanmar Sangha Delegation Group, led by Sangha Mahanayaka Venerable Ashin Kon Din Nya and accompanied by counselors, attended. During this forum, they interacted with the Hswagata Founder, who likely shared insights into the preservation work concerning the Buddha Tooth Relics.
Upon learning about the preservation efforts, a senior monk within the Myanmar Sangha delegation suggested to Ashin Indasoma (also known as Ashin Dhammasami) that he should visit Sri Lanka. The purpose of this visit was to meet with the Sangha Raja (the highest-ranking monk) of Sri Lanka and the management team responsible for the Buddha Tooth Relics Temple. The objective was to report on the progress of DNA confirmation related to the preservation efforts.
Therefore, Ashin Indasoma embarked on this journey to Sri Lanka to meet with the relevant authorities and present detailed information about the activities undertaken by Hswagata in the preservation of the Buddha Tooth Relics. This visit likely aimed to strengthen collaboration and exchange knowledge between Myanmar and Sri Lanka regarding this significant aspect of Buddhist heritage preservation.
