The month in which Arahants were first born in Sri Lanka
The true and most dignified freedom day of Sri Lankans is the Poson Poya day. On this day, Sri Lankans received the Buddha’s Dhamma, which is the most valued possession of the country even at present. People in this country used to go hunting and worshiping various supernatural things like trees and stones. On a day like this, that life pattern of the Sri Lankans was changed forever when they received the gift of the Dhamma. They were fortunate enough to become a generation full of great sages who achieved the fruits of the Dhamma by following the middle path. We received that great gift of Dhamma from Arahant Mihindhu Thero.
