Dear Sir,

AN APPEAL TO UNESCO TO SAFEGUARD AND PRESERVE THE CULTURAL PROPERTY

IN SRI LANKA ENDANGERED BY RACIAL PREJUDICE,UNLAWFUL OCCUPATION

OR WILFUL DESTRUCTION.

1. Considering that Cultural Property of a Country constitutes a basic

element of civilization and National culture and heritage which should be

preserved for posterity in its pristine glory for the purpose of

Encouraging mutual understanding among peoples and thereby serve the

cause of peace,

2. Considering that the prehistoric, proto historic and historic

monuments and remains which are the products of the cultural traditions

of the people to whom they belong support the contemporary civilization

and its future evolution,

3. Considering also that cultural property is the product and witness of

the different traditions and of the spiritual achievements of the past

and thus is an essential element in the personality of the peoples of

the world; and that it is incumbent upon every state to protect the

cultural property existing within its territory against various types of

dangers,

4. I, Caluwadewage Cyril Mathew, President of the Foundation for the

restoration and protection of Buddhist Shrines in Sri Lanka and Minister

of Industries & Scientific Affairs of the Democratic Socialist

Republic of Sri Lanka do hereby address this appeal to UNESCO requesting

it to take effective measures to safeguard and preserve the Cultural

Property in Sri Lanka endangered by racial prejudice, unlawful occupation

wilful destruction.

5. Sri Lanka -the Resplendent Island -was acclaimed the ancient gateway

to the east and the centre Eastern commerce. She was the Taprobane of the

Greeks and Romans, the Serendip of the Arabs,the Ratnadipa (the island of

gems) of King Solomon of Biblical times, the Para Samudra of Kautilya's

Arthasastra, the Sinhala dipa (the land of the Sinhala) of the Great

Chronicle (Mahavamsa)and the "land without sorrow" of Ancient Chinese.

15. Buddhism was introduced to Sri Lanka in the 3rd CenturyB.C.by the

missionaries sent by Emperor Asoka led by his son Arahant Mahinda during

the reign of King Devanampiyatissa.Since then the art, architecture and

the way of life of the whole nation have been influenced by the noble

doctrine of the Buddha. Immediately after the introduction of Buddhism

the worship of the Bodhitree(FicusReligiosa) and the funerary mound

knownas the stupa became the two aspects of popular worship.

16. Tradition has it that stupas were founded in SriLanka even before the

time of Asoka. Immediately after the introduction 'of Buddhism it spread

to all parts of the island within a very short period of time.

This can be ascertained by the numerous pre-christianin scriptions

indited under the drip ledges of natural caves. Discovered almost all

over the country. These inscriptions which record the donation of the

caves to Buddhist monks supply us with a wealth of information in regard

to linguistic, historical and social data of the period.

They also testify to the high standards of literacy which prevailed among

the Sinhalese of the3rd Century B.C.

17. The ancient monuments scattered all over Sri Lanka together with the

remains of ancient cities such as Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, Sigiriya and

Kandy bear eloquent testimony to the great architectural and sculptural

abilities of the people of the country. All the ancient remains of Sri

Lanka perta into the Buddhist religion.

25. Finally, I earnestly request UNESCO to have an international project

with financial assistance from the member states to safeguard and

preserve the cultural Property of Sri Lanka endangered by racial

prejudice, unlawful occupation or wilful destruction.
