Last week I met a Vietnamese Bhikkuni in Bangkok who was keen to find out details of studies conducted in Sri Lanka's Buddhist Universities. I assumed that this was easy and, yesterday [29/4] telephoned the Buddhist and Pali University[2593604/ 2580609] but there was no answer. I next phoned the Post Graduate Institute of Pali  and Buddhist Studies [2368894/ 250879] and nobody answered there either. In desperation I phoned the University Grants Commission hoping to locate the phone numbers of these institutions, and there was no answer. I then emailed the Buddhist & Pali University [budd-pali-uni @sltnet,lk/ bplib@sltnet.lk as per the Phone Directory} The message has just bounced back with the comment "user unknown". Why have both these Universities and the UGC dropped off the screen? Who can help me [and the Bhikkuni] ?
