In Sri Lanka trees are of course in the realm of the sacred. Along the vast old tree covered parks surrounding a grand stupa in ancient Anuradhapura, a wide avenue leads to a shrine built around a gigantic peepal – perhaps the oldest living tree and said to have emerged from a sapling from the original Ficus Religiosa that shaded the Lord Buddha – a sapling that came with Buddhism itself to the serendipitous island. Go to Peradeniya, Galle, Kandy or Colombo or any other place on the island and you will find the people and not just the state taking pride in ancient trees occupying prominent urban spots. Architecture often recedes to give way to a tree; trees grow through roofs and I am not talking of Geoffrey Bawa structures. This small, lovely country displays a very large heart and vision. A vision green and regenerative and worth emulating.
