The meaning of Piritha or Paritta is protection. Protection derived through Piritha is applicable not only to the present day society, but even to long periods gone by. Scriptures show that in the ancient city of Vishala in India, the powers of the Ratana Sutra were responsible for driving away the three devastating fears of famine, demoniac effects and pestilence during the time of Lord Buddha. It is documented that even when the Arahants were confined to sicknesses, Pirith Dharma was able to heal them. Through Pirith and meditation, one could acquire psychic spiritual power. Mind based spiritual comfort attained through Maha Piritha, Dhajagga Pititha, Dhamma Chakka Sutra and Bojjanga Sutra by any person could be enormous. Persons like the sages, who healed patients through the powers of Piritha and meditation, also using their psychic powers to identify the medications, were present not only in the ancient times, but they are existing even today. We recently met such a person, who heals patients through the psychic powers he has acquired through meditation and the Piritha. “I have been able to heal patients using the psychic powers I acquired through Pirith and meditation. “ said Mr S D P Pathmasiri, who is able to heal patients having any serious ailment.
I am neither a Doctor of Medicine or a Native Doctor. But it is true that I heal patients. But please do not think that I am doing so with the hidden powers vested upon me by a dead relative of mine. Very often I use Piritha and meditation to heal patients.
From my childhood, I was very close to Buddhism. I used to observe the five precepts since then. An astrologer, who read my horoscope said that in my previous birth, I had been a trouble-creator for other people, and to re-pay for those sins I must start meditation and extend compassion towards others in this birth. Thereafter, I started meditation and chanting Pirith. After sometime, I started feeling that some kind of a power has entered my body. It resembled a power to make decisions..
I started
chanting 23 Pirith Sutras every night. Not only that, I practised Maithree
Bhavana (meditation) and Vipassana Bhavana as well. I continued this process
for about four years, when I started realizing that something like waves of
rays and heat were emanating from my body. Then after sometime, I noticed that
the finger tips of my hands were swelling. It happened after I finished with
the meditation and the Pirith. However, it disappeared after about half an
hour. I realized that my fingers were not just normal, but embodied with some
kind of power.
Did you do
anything to make sure about it ?
One day, when I
had just finished my meditation, I had almost got up, when I lost my balance
and was falling back to the ground. Just at that moment, I placed my hand on
the floor to prevent the fall, and immediately I felt that some sort of energy
- release active in my hand was penetrating onto the earth. My fingers became
very light and different having lost the usual heaviness. This incident
prompted me that my fingers have some powers.
One day, I
heard that a lady in Ganemulla was also going through similar experiences, and
that she was able to heal patrients. I went and saw her. During our discussion,
I realized that she was also enjoying such powers as those of mine. Since then,
I used to keep medicinal oil varieties near me during my meditation and
chanting of Pirith.
Did you try to
experiment in healing any patients with your powers ?
I heard that
one of my nieces was ailing with a boil on her body. Doctors were preparing her
for a surgical operation in a short time. I went to see her and just held my
hand near the area of the boil and withdrew the hand. Within the next two
weeks, I was told that the boil had disappeared. That was a turning point for
me, and I decided that I should improve further on my powers, and help the
people suffering from various kinds of illnesses.
You need
medications for any kind of treatment. Do you also really use any medications ?
When healing
patients, I also use certain medications for some of them. I identify the items
of medication using my psychic powers derived through meditation and Pirith. But
I never make a patient take my medication orally. Nor do I promote
applications. What I do is to place my medications close to the body of the
patient, so that the body absorbs and digest the latent healing power of the
medications. But if the need arises, I will give juices of fruits and
vegetables for the patients to drink.
Do you have the
powers to heal any kind of ailment?
I will not
agree to attend on a patient lying on a death bed or a person suffering from a
terminal disease. No body, I believe, can cure them. I will agree to attend on
any patients suffering from any other type of ailment. In fact, I have cured
patients rejected by even medical specialists. Not only that, I have even
diagnosed hidden diseases of patients, which could not be traced by famous
Doctors of medicine.
How do you
start treating a patient ?
At the
beginning, the patient must observe the five precepts, then chant the Pirith, and
guide to follow the Vipassana Bhavana (insight meditation) process. If the
patient does this properly, nothing else is necessary to treat a patient.
Do you also treat
cancer patients ?
I have
discovered a medication for cancer, but it needs to be experimented. My problem
is that I do not have enough facilities and financial resources to embark on
that. Genuinely, if some one is interested in helping me with it, I will be
able to successfully finalize my research and come out with the discovery.
Are you able to
diagnose any hidden diseases using your psychic powers ?
Often, the
patients whose problems could not be diagnosed by Doctors, visit me. I observe
such patients well, and point out to them the area of the body where the
indications of the problem lie. I advise them to go to a Doctor, tell the
Doctor about it, get an x-ray and follow the treatment process prescribed by
the Doctor. There have been many such patients in the past, who were treated by
Doctors following the observations I made in terms of the diagnosis of
diseases.
Supposing you
are searching for medications to treat patients, are you governed by your
psychic powers ?
Indeed, I look
for medication only though my psychic powers. We have in Sri Lanka, all the
necessary ingredients for any medication meant for any disease of our people. What
is necessary is to discover them. I discover my medications through my psychic
power and strength.
You are also
known for discovering medications for very serious – sometimes even terminal –
ailments. Is that true ?
At the moment,
I have almost launched two research projects on developing medications, one for
cancer and the other for HIV/AIDS. Thankfully, my psychic powers are helping me
in that. I really like if any patient with AIDS visits me. I can treat the
patient with my medications and experiment on the results.
How much of
money should a patient bring along for your healing process ?
I do not heal
patients for the sake of money. I am not prepared to bargain for money, the
powers I have acquired by faithfully following the teachings of Lord Buddha. Those
who seek my heeling should only bring a sheaf of betel.
Do you treat
only diseases, or do you undertake treating persons with mental problems like
depression etc., or those who are burdened with various personal and social
issues ?
I, of course,
treat drug addicts and alcoholics. I save them from those disasters. In such
instances I treat the mind and not the body. I can use my powers to eradicate misconduct
from those who are glued to them, and to show mastery over even a demon.
You are neither
a charmer, nor a Doctor or an astrologer. But you are said to handle issues
relating to various spiritual impacts on lands, houses and property as well. Is
it so ?
If there is any
kind of spiritual (of evil spirits with greed, hatred, anguish or charmed and caught
by evil spells ) impact on people, land, houses or property, they are doomed. There
cannot be any progress or development. No peace and happiness in the family. Life
itself becomes a burden. I help such people to overcome their problems using my
powers.
How do you know
if a land or a house is affected by a spirit ?
As I said
earlier, I live with some extraordinary psychic powers in my possession. So, when
I enter the premises of a house or a land, I start feeling the problem
affecting the place. Naturally, even the owner may not know about it. I explain
the situation and the remedial measures to be taken.
You are well
educated. Are you willing to teach or show the way for others also to achieve
the powers you have so dedicatedly acquired ?
When you
maintain a clean and pure mind, with reduced craving, hatred and ignorance, you
start enjoying a bliss of happiness and strength, which cannot be explained. If
you follow the five precepts, carry on with the chanting of Pirith, and do
meditation at least for two to three hours a day, and do continue this whole
process for six or seven years with Maithree Bhavanawa (meditation on
compassion) in the forefront, you could acquire some powers to diagnose an
ailment and treat it. I am sincerely interested in sharing with others what I
have achieved.
Are you in
employment ? How do you manage life ?
I am not
employed in any office or organization. My age is 53 now. I have obtained a
degree in Bachelor of Arts at the University of Kelaniya. I have also been
trained in The Netherlands and Germany on Market Supervision by the United
Nations. I am a farmer. If at all I seek any employment, it will be in the
field of propagating Buddhism and popularizing Buddhist philosophy.
