Jayasumanarama Maha Vihara Buddhist temple, Matara >>>>
The ancestral home of Sri Lanka’s supper cricketer Sanath Jayasooriya is very near the temple.
Cricketer Sanath Jayasooriya was educated at St. Servatius college nearly by and received his dhamma education during his student days, at the Dhamma school of this temple.
The dhamma education which he received at the temple during those distant days may have, no doubt, contributed in no small measure to mould him into the disciplined and unassuming sportsman of the world. The temple can justly be proud of this great past pupil of its Dhamma School.
