"As a scientist, I’ve always valued logic and reason, but my spiritual journey with the Colombo International Spiritual Foundation has taught me that true peace arises from the wisdom of the heart. Under the guidance of Venerable Ananda, I have learned how to integrate mindfulness and non-self into my daily life. Meditation has brought clarity, focus, and a profound sense of calm that helps me both in my professional work and personal life. It has been a life-changing experience."

- Dr. Samila Bandara

"The teachings and guidance of Venerable Ananda have illuminated my spiritual path. Through the meditation practices taught at the Colombo International Spiritual Foundation, I’ve been able to transcend the limits of the ego and cultivate a deeper connection with the teachings of Lord Buddha. This foundation has been a beacon of light, not only for me but for many others who are searching for true peace and liberation. I am deeply honored to be a member and disciple of this great community."

- Deshamanya Vidura Ranasinghe

"Meditation under the guidance of Venerable Ananda has been a revelation. In my high-pressure role at a Leading Bank, finding peace and balance was always a challenge. However, since joining the Colombo International Spiritual Foundation, I have experienced a profound transformation. The teachings of non-self and liberation have provided me with the tools to maintain calm, clarity, and focus in both my professional and personal life. I am deeply grateful to be part of this esteemed foundation, where true peace is not just a concept but a lived experience."

- Mrs. Thilini Jayasinghe
