In conjunction with the Buddhist Era (B.E.) 2570 Vesak Full Moon Poya Day, a Seela-Bhavana (Precept observance and meditation) program was recently held at the Kandy District Secretariat Auditorium. This program was organized by the Kandy District Secretariat for all officers within the District Secretariat premises, including officers from the District Secretariat, the Gangawata Korale Divisional Secretariat, and the Regional Office of Buddhist Affairs, under the "Spiritual Values Development Program" initiative.

The morning session commenced with the administration of the Ashtanga Uposatha Seela (Eight Precepts) by the Venerable Hadaganave Wimaladhamma Thero of the Asgiri Maha Viharaya. Following this, the morning Dhamma sermon and the midday Buddha Pooja were conducted by the Venerable Aluthgama Pannyasara Thero. The meditation session was guided by the Venerable Rambukewela Ananda Thero of the Malwathu Maha Viharaya, and the evening Dhamma sermon was delivered by the Venerable Nikaweratiye Indrawimala Thero.
