Buduruwegala

In the second photo are three generations sitting before the statues. I can just hear the voice of the grandfather and see from their gestures and the children looking from grandfather to the images and tell he is telling about these carvings. The main carving before them is Avalokitesvara with his hands in the gesture or argument or debate of the Dhamma. Perhaps the grandfather is not only telling the story of the carvings, but instructing his grandchildren and there are many generations from Avalokitesvara to these young Sri Lankans.
