安帕拉郊外的岩石露头上有一座宁静的森林寺院，丛林中点缀着古代遗迹和一座白色佛塔。

概述

Buddhangala 是一座宁静的森林修道院，坐落在一系列岩石露头上，距离安帕拉镇约 7 公里，分布在占地约 1,280 英亩的树木繁茂的保护区内。一条小路蜿蜒穿过树林，经过古老的修道院遗址、池塘和巨石，到达山顶岩石上一座闪闪发光的白色佛塔，从那里可以看到周围森林的广阔景色。孔雀、猴子和鸟类很常见，安静冥想的氛围与该地区的海滩和狩猎之旅形成鲜明对比。

历史

The site is believed to date back to the ancient Digamadulla kingdom, traditionally founded in the region in the early historic period. After long centuries of neglect, overgrown by jungle, it was rediscovered in 1964 by the Venerable Kalutara Dhammananda Thero, who cleared the ruins and re-established it as a working forest hermitage with the help of local Buddhist communities.
