Wickramashila Higher Monesterial College

We have been here in Bandarulanka for quite a long time now. Wickramashila Higher Monesterial College sits right as part of the Maha Piriwena grounds in Andhra Pradesh. It is a quiet kind of place. Our days are mostly filled with teaching the monks and some local students who live nearby. The schedule is pretty much the same every day. We start early in the morning with lessons and study. It isn't a very large or modern building. We have basic classrooms with wooden desks and simple chairs. The walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, but they hold up well enough. Most of the people here come from the surrounding villages. You won't find any big signs or bright lights. Just the main gate and the name on the wall. Life moves at a slower pace here than in the cities. Sometimes the weather gets really hot, so the students move their benches under the shade of the big trees outside. They help us keep the place clean too. It is just part of the daily life here. We don't have any big corporate plans. We just keep the books in order and make sure the lessons happen on time. If you need to find us, just head toward the Piriwena in Bandarulanka. Any of the locals can point you to the right gate. We just do our work and keep things moving as they always have.
