An all night Pirith ceremony was held at Sampath Bank Head Office on 24 March followed by a ‘Heel Dana’ for 50 Buddhist monks as the first event to commemorate our Bank’s Silver Jubilee Year celebrations. Pirith chanting was held in the especially prepared and decorated pavilion in the Head Quarters Lobby area.

This annual event as usual was organised by Sampath Bank Buddhist Association. The participation of Team Sampath this year was overwhelming which showed the enthusiasm and bondage among our team members which was a very pleasing sight for all.

Apart from this ceremony, Sampath Bank Buddhist Association has also organised six more religious ceremonies within the next three months in places such as Kandy, Anuradhapura, Matara, Jaffna, Akkaraipattu and Negombo.
