Suwa Mau Arana
About Our Sanctuary
Suwa Mau Arana, meaning "Healing Mother Sanctuary," is a special charitable sanctuary dedicated to caring for two precious groups of women who have devoted their lives to the Buddhist Sasana (බුදු සසුන).
Established under the compassionate guidance of Venerable Galigamuwe Gnanadeepa Thero, this sanctuary serves as a sacred merit field (පිංබිමෙහි) where these devoted women receive the care, support, and dignity they deserve in their later years or during times of illness.

The Sacred Merit Field
Suwa Mau Arana serves as a powerful merit field where donors can accumulate immense spiritual merit (පින්) by supporting these devoted women. In Buddhism, caring for ordained nuns and honoring mothers who have dedicated their children to the Sasana is considered one of the highest forms of generosity.
To provide loving care, shelter, food, medicine, and spiritual support to sick ordained nuns and mothers who have made the supreme sacrifice of dedicating their children to the Buddhist Sasana. These women have given everything for the dharma - now it is our turn to care for them.
