The Bangladesh Sangharaj Bhikkhu Mahasabha—the Supreme Sangha Council of Bangladesh (SSCB)—on 20 May appointed Venerable Jnanashree Mahathera, 95, as the 13th Buddhist supreme patriarch of Bangladesh.
The SSCB issued a press release on 20 May stating that a meeting of the Executive Council of the SSBC had been convened. During the meeting, which was conducted online due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the decision was passed unanimously by the second deputy-supreme patriarch and the Executive Council under the chairmanship of Ven. Buddharakkhita Mahathera, acting president of the SSBC.
“Due to COVID-19, none of the 61 members of the Executive Council except the acting president and one member spoke about the supreme patriarch election, because everyone was worried about the current situation,” Ven. S. Lokajit Thera, SSBC secretary-general, said of the of election process.
“As soon as the 12th supreme patriarch His Holiness Ven. Dharmasen Mahathera died on 21 March, I talked to the acting president of the SSBC and decided with the president that if the situation was a little normal, at least if the monks could move, a meeting of the Executive Council would be called and the supreme patriarch would be elected,” Venerable Lokajit explained. “It was because the current constitution of SSBC states that if the supreme patriarch dies, the new supreme patriarch should be elected by an Executive Council meeting within 15 days, and then a general meeting will be held to approve the supreme patriarch. The night before the funeral of the late supreme patriarch, the new supreme patriarch will be appointed.”
The SSBC also officially expressed condolences for the demise of the 12th supreme patriarch, Ven. Dharmasen Mahathera, who passed away at the age of 92, and the prominent monk Ven. U Pannya Jota Mathathera, who passed away at the age of 65 on 13 May. Offerings were also made for a peaceful the world free from COVID-19.
Ven. Jnanashree Mahathera was born on 18 November 1925 in Domkhali Village of North Gujra in Chittagong District, Bangladesh. He is currently the abbot of Chittagong Buddhist Monastery. Ven. Jnanashree became a novice monk in 1944 and was ordained as a bhikkhu in 1949. In 1956, he moved from Chittagong to the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT). As a monk, Ven. Jnanashree was not only confined to religious services, he also worked for the development of the deprived Buddhist community in the hilly region, taking the initiative to spread general education along with religious pursuits. He established many religious and educational institutions in the hilly and plains areas of Chittagong.
In 1981, Ven. Jnanashree established the Parbatya Chattal (Chittagong Hill Tracts) Buddhist Orphanage in Dighinala, which is now under Khagrachari District. In 1984, he established Moanoghar, a socio-educational organization, in Rangapani Village in Rangamati District of CHT. A residential school was set up under Moanoghar for the general education of poor, orphaned, and helpless children. Over the years, Moanoghar has turned into one of the most popular educational institutions for indigenous children in CHT, providing free or highly subsidized education for orphaned and poor children from all over the region. Outside of the CHT, Ven. Jnanashree has also set up various educational institutions in the Chittagong, Joypurhat, and Rangpur districts of Bangladesh.
“The arrival of Ven. Jnanashree Mahathera opened a new horizon in the spread of education among indigenous Buddhists,” said Ven. Sadhanajyoti Bhikkhu, joint-secretary of the Hill Monks Association-Bangladesh, and secretary-general of the Hill Buddhist Mission. “He was the first to establish an orphanage based on a Buddhist monastery, and started a system of religious education as well as general education for poor, orphaned, and helpless children.”
There are two supreme councils for the Buddhist sangha in Bangladesh: the Bangladesh Sangharaj Bhikkhu Mahasabha, for which Ven. Jnanashree Mahathera is the 13th supreme patriarch, and the Bangladesh Bouddha Bhikkhu Mahasabha. Apart from these two organizations, there are other Buddhist sangha councils among ethnic Chakma and Marma monks in the CHT.
According to the constitution of the SSBC, the 13th supreme patriarch Ven. Jnanashree Mahathera will be formally appointed on the night before the funeral of the late supreme patriarch Ven. Dharmasen Mahathera, which will be held after the relaxations of restrictions related to the novel coronavirus pandemic.

Buy 24 year of prophet Md male companion known as Khadija Bibi ,
who it was done so he had few others all were his play mates , he used to get sick , rather then having many men s just to stick with one , two , three , many men have that problem and many of them use minors . This what of investigation to be disclosed 30 year after my fathers death involving g other Pranab babu, though not 30 yr past many things have come of that 30 year report kind of early . And that has many many illness tied to this goth( lsd) , , I think as god told Adam not to eat the apple , it is the apples side effects as being known now Hassina and her co Horta are doing patent infringement over these diagnosis , and cure . I think it. Will still leagal I guess buyer be ware one will know this region bank and Hindustan bank they know Bongobondhu insured every drop or spoon fed by Pennys why region bank was nationalized in Bangladesh after war as it is known pubali bank , that nationalized bank had all the ration shop things imported from USA and where else .

it seems an issue is Satish Chandra to this crook or Satan and his adopted sons most eku the oldest one is whom I say to be Grinch Jesus , and Satish Chandra is Buddhas oldest son , now I have seen in Brindaban Satish Chandra once served sone kind of death penalty in the ISHKON side of Harey Khrishna , it seems Satish Chandra had 8 child all were sons and Phani ukil was the oldest of 8 their mother is no one else in only way to describe her is Mamalada , all 8 were slammed against the wall it was RAVAN , Hobu Chandra Raja and Gobu Chandra raja , they were sone kind of Brindaban prison security , it seems Buddha makes appearance e with his sons issue in the prison , I think those were all patent infringement tyoe I think mostly wrongful death penalty , the 3 I mention of did because this thus sane crook aka Satan Bob Litchman , aka Abul Mia or bad mar mar that tempts. It is still Mara as in Buddha dharma I guess many knows what is known as Marar rajotoo. Sone decisions had been made to acomidate this bob litchman by my father as of coverCraft . It seems sone thing is Hogg wild about this as those 2 father Litchmann and son litchman a don’t keep their agreement it is still going Arround things and trying still have control over coverCraft in one form of other , this acomodatio. Is sone one way to find out as that guy know few things with regards to many thing this Mara and his private life is were this Jewish life of enjoyment as I say ,
