It is with deep sadness that I condemn the explosions within the hallowed precincts of the most venerated and sacred Mahabodhi shrine in Bodhgaya in the state of Bihar in India. Undoubtedly, it is one of the holiest shrines, highly respected and venerated not only by Buddhists throughout the world, but by all peace loving human beings. 

Sri Lanka has undergone similar tragedies when the most venerated and sacred Temple of the Tooth and Sri Maha Bodhi were mercilessly attacked by terrorists, some years ago. 

The people and the Government of Sri Lanka will extend their fullest support to the people and the Government of India in this hour of great tragedy.
