Sanasa Life introduces premium insurance policy for Buddhist clergy

Helping to elevate and protect the Buddha Sasana, Sanasa Life Insurance has introduced a very special and tailored insurance policy for Buddhist Monks. 

The “Pinsaru Vandana” insurance policy provides a specialised insurance scheme addressing the special needs of Buddhist monks. An auspicious inauguration ceremony was held in the presence of several senior members of the Buddhist clergy on 17 January, at the Sri Sambudhdhatva Jayanthi Mandiraya in Colombo. 

A total of 300 Buddhist monks were in attendance at the event, and gave their blessings for this special insurance scheme. A group of dignitaries, including Wishawa Prasadini, Dr. P.A. Kirivandeniya and Piriwena Director Ven. Watinapaha Somarathana Thero, were also present and played key roles during the event. “Pinsaru Vandana” is an insurance scheme that provides relief and protection for junior monks, in the event of the death, serious illness or incapacitation of their patron/senior monk. In such an unfortunate event, junior monks can often become destitute and or marginalised. Thus, “Pinsaru Vandana” will help to protect these young monks as they pursue their journey and mission of elevating and sustaining the Buddha Sasana.
