Move over textbooks—there’s a fresh cultural bridge being built in Sri Lanka! 🇱🇰 Bodagama Chandima, vice-chancellor of the Nāgānanda International Institute for Buddhist Studies (NIIBS), has sparked a cross-cultural connection by translating Di Zi Gui—a traditional Chinese guide on ethics and conduct—into Sinhalese for local students. The text, which outlines values like respect and discipline, is now winning hearts in classrooms. 🧘♂️✨
The project, part of China Harbour’s Port City Colombo initiative, highlights how centuries-old teachings can resonate globally. 🌟 Chandima’s work not only preserves Chinese heritage but also enriches Sri Lanka’s educational landscape. Students are reportedly embracing the blend of philosophies, proving that kindness and integrity truly are universal languages. 💬
