Bhante Sujatha’s Birthday Project

For many years past, I have celebrated my birthday while I was in Sri Lanka. However this year – because of pandemic – I had an opportunity to celebrate my birthday here in the United States. I want to thank my fellow monastics, the Blue Lotus Board President Tyler Lewke, the other board members, and all the Temple members who came together to celebrate my birthday. I also received many, many blessings and birthday greetings from my worldwide students and friends. Thank you so much everyone for your kindness and compassion for me. I feel all the love I have given to the world coming back to me as blessings and healing. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
As a birthday project, I started a fundraiser in order to provide food for needy families in Sri Lanka. We will be able to donate food to almost 100 more families in the coming months. Thank you so much for your kind donations. I am grateful for your help in adding more love to the world.
I also want to thank the staff of our meditation center in Sri Lanka – Sanatha Suwaya. They are director Michael Fronczak, manager Krishan Gunasekara, assistant manager Danu Illangasinghe, our Sanatha Suwaya TV and media manager Charitha, and our videographer Asnaga and team. Also our spiritual advisors Wewagama Dhammika, Walagedara Buddharakkitha. Also my sister Manel Gunasekara and the rest of my family in Sri Lanka. Also my monastic colleagues and students, and all my devotees in Sri Lanka. I believe when that when one person has wholesome thoughts in his or her mind, the entire world is attracted to those thoughts and do beautiful things together.
Please keep this wisdom in your mind. Try your best to find and grow in your mind one wholesome thought. Let it develop and grow in your mind day by day. It will benefit you and the world. Thanks again to you all. Keep in touch, and let’s add more love to the world.
