That temple was so serene and beautiful , Seen all those beautiful statues of GREAT BUDDHA was heartwarming .. I know Hawaii is gorgeous and breathtaking ' There is something very special about Sri Lanka. As I told you before and I must say Sri Lanka stands out from all other beautiful islands because of it ..Maybe you still DON'T see it ' but you will .. Remember GOD talks to you through other people' Maybe you should listen to what that gentleman told about buying a land and building something.. That will be a smart move ' What could help you to continue to live the life you want ..Things change but real estate never goes a waste.. Seriously that is one thing what will keep growing in value ..Specially in a island paradise like Sri Lanka with such beautiful nature and a colorful culture.. STAY SAFE AND SAFE TRAVELS.. STAY SAFE ..
Another great video. You should stay there with your GF and spend the rest of your life. Thank you for sharing these beautiful videos to us here in USA
Lovely ....video of Our mother land....Thanks for your travel ....in my country......all the videos are very beautiful......the young couple please take care about your self.....LORD BUDDHA BLESS YOU ......
past two weeks we are watching the panorama of our neighbors srilanka.... it is very similar to my state Kerala, The GODS OWN COUNTRY.... LOTS of similarity between our state to Srilanka.... thanks a lot... keep enjoining to entertain US
Thanks Johnny and Kristina for showing us this magnificent temple which we never knew existed. It will be a sure must see, the next time we visit our beloved motherland. Greetings from Perth. WA.
You guys have brought this to a next level. Because you have been places lot people do not even think to go. There was a guy name Harold he was amazing after him you guys have done amazing work.
17:20 He is such a traditional person in sri Lanka. Also he knows lot of things Sri Lanka history. Maybe indian tourist should meet him when they are visit Sri Lanka. Because i think indians are more interesting to know about ravana than Sri Lankan 🌷👍
Johnny, If you have time in your plan, Go to "Dambulla" city, there is very huge temple in the caves, very interesting. ( route to Dambulla from Ella - to Bandarawela, Welimada, Nuwara Eliya, Gampola, Peradeniya, Kandy, Mathale, Dambulla. This is very cool drive and most interesting and beautiful route.) from Dambulla ,If you wish you can go to Habarana for Wild life . and Sigiriya historical site.. good luck
hi Jonny, it was a good choice to go early to Horton I was at the gate 5AM asking my why but the minute I saw the sunrise that changed..... two things I'll try next time I visit the hills take a metal flask no plastic allowed and try to stay actually there it's even way different from ella but way to quiet if you are into that. anyway what ever you do... you will enjoy your time
Sri Lanka has been a buddhist country for 2500 years continuously, you can see ruins of an ancient great civilization all over the country but we love and respect all the other religions as well 🙂❤🙏
@Saranga Walimuni That goes without saying for every culture and civilization on this planet,their history is steeped in the blood of men both good and bad,so why should sri lanka be the exception?
Yet acting like an Arabic country feeding people with different spoons. සමානාත්මතාව කියන සංග්රහ වස්තුව අඩු ගානේ පන්සලේවත් නැති හැඩයි. පාරේ ඉන්න සුවිප්කාරයෝ වගේ පිටරැටියෝට ලැජ්ජා නැතිව ටිකට් දෙනවා.
@Saranga Walimuni 2 uprisings and you call that too many,kek my man take a book on world history and fucking read.People kill each other over dumb fucking reasons all the time,you just happen to live in a make believe world perpetuated by your own ignorances.
Wow Sir. Johnny and Ma’am Cristina !!, you guys are so nice!, you respect to buddhist culture and you guys make a wish yeah!,I’m really feel it, love you guys!, health is the greatest gift, Contentment is the greatest wealth and Faithfulness is the best relationship, it’s from Buddhism. happy and enjoy your stay, and be safe!!, Much love from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰.
Thanks for sharing this nice video 👍. I've been to Ella and skipped this Dova temple thinking nothing much to see there. But next time I will definitely be there..
Johnny, You must tour Anuradhapura & Polonnaruwa to see lots of ancient Buddhist temples built 2000 years ago. They are amazing. You can get a real idea about Buddhist history in Sri Lanka . Hope you will be able to create few videos there as well.
Hi Johnny, Just wonder.., Talking about temples for me the most amazing is "Gal Vihara" (Rock Temple) in Polonnaruwa. There you have Buddha Stupas carved on a Granite rock using just "hammer and sickle". When you look at the Stupas you wonder how those Buddha stupas carved out so very smoothly and great precision on a rough grnite rock just using "Hammer and a sickle". Even using modern techonlogy it would be a huge, huge challenge to carve out Buddha stupas like the way those had been carved out at "Gal Vihara". You have to see those Biddha Stupas with naked eye to really believe the unbelivable craftmanship then.
As a Christian i studied Hinduism Egypt Sumerians and Maya. The things i know now and i can do. 😄 The key is symbolism! And its all inside you, everything!
Always caress Mother Earth with your bare feet. The rich contents in the soil helps to lead a healthy lifestyle. Apart from that, there are a number of sensors/nerve endings under our feet and when we walk barefoot on sand gravel and tiny stones/ pebbles, our entire body gets a stimulation through these sensors. It maybe a bit tough at the beginning but your soles gets adjusted in no time. That's how they're created. When we lead a barefoot lifestyle it not only makes our feet tough but also strengthen our muscles. The fatty padding which develops due to continuous barefoot walking gives us a better balance.Further barefooting is allowing your feet and soles to move freely. They love that freedom. Afterall, who like to be caged in their whole life ??? Footwear are instruments of torture. Opt for barefoot living for good health and happy feet!!!
You dont wish for anything when you light lamps, keep flowers etc to Buddha. You do a meditation thinking that like the lamp which will loose its light by a wind or by loosing the oil first or by burnning of the little cloth our life will end accodring to what might happen. Even the flowers just like it looses the scent and the freshness our life will loose our youth.
@@JohnnyFD yes, Johnny. It is to reflect about life. Like the lamp our life can be blown away at the start or half way or like the way the cloth and the oil and the light it will go on until everything finishes. If you light one lamp or thousand the thought that cones to your mind is the important thing. We only light one lamp with that meditation. Some people light many but one lamp is enogh. Even just few flowers are enough for the meditation. You just have to remember that everything in this world is not permanent. We are living an impermanent life.
Johnny you should sell some "Johnny FD" merchandise through this youtube channel. This will help you increase your income, as this what Harald Baldr does. PS you should also start a patreon account and give the link here.
@@JohnnyFD best thing would be to see is what other influencers are selling and see what improvements you can make to those products then sell something similar.
I have watched most of your videos. this is a place I been never there. A simple advice I want to pass to you guys. while you travel to the village area you must be careful. our rule culture does not accept bikini type dress for bathing places, you need to ware something cove for women's body. this will avoid unpleasant incident.
Need more videos about Sri Lanka.. Really interested..
This is amazing
and this is my next destination from newzeland❤️
Welcome sir...
Shanka Darshana තැක්කියූ බ්රෝ😂😂😂😍

Go to kandy digana Barbara gala temple nice
by the way you should use Sri lankan videos to increase your subscriber numbers, just like Harald Baldr did while he was there.
