The Venerable Medagama Dhammananda Thera of the Asgiriya Maha Vihara has called for strong legal measures to protect Buddhists and Hindus from dollar-waving 'religious' pied pipers. Hordes of them from the West and their local supporters were spreading out to the island's remote corners to "save souls," while their own countries were relying on modern science to save people's lives from natural disasters. One of the island's remote areas, which these proselytizers are targeting is Koboneela in Meemure, a 100 percent Buddhist village in the Central Province, the monk alleged.

"In Sri Lanka's case, some Westerners apparently want us first to accept their monotheistic faith before providing us with satellite technology to monitor natural catastrophes," he told the Asian Tribune. Rather than providing scientific knowledge, they are keen to offer us scientology. Scientologists are a Western religious group that has rushed into the country in the wake of the tsunami. In the guise providing counseling services they are trying to wean away Buddhists and Hindus from their ancestral religion. These wolves in sheep's clothing have found tsunami victims suffering from depression a fertile area for harvesting souls."
