Dear colleagues (from the British Museum),
there seems to be one last chance to explain hell-paintings in Sri Lanka.
The 19th century monk Dhammaratana from a monastery at Talpe near Galle
has written popular poems on buddhist hells.
Also I have been at that monastery several times, nobody of the monks
could assist me in this matter.
Now I found a reference at the British Museum in London in this book:
Wickremasinghe 1901 Sinhalese printed books in the Library of the
British Museum
the reference on p. 66: s.v. Dhammaratana:
----- Life of Dhammaratana with English translation of a few of his
poems pp. 14
------Galle 1868 8° 10606.bb.2
Anybody from the British Museum probably may have a look at this small
book?
Any reference to a hell-poem?
Thank you for any assistance
Heiner
