Delivering the sermon, Ven. Thero highlighted the fundamental teachings of Buddhism: the Four Noble Truths, the Noble Eightfold Path and the importance of shaping one's life accordingly. At the end of the Sermon, blessings were offered to the government and the people of Sri Lanka, the High Commissioner & the staff, and attendees.
