How to be your own best friend: A conversation on the practice of loving-kindness

Wednesday, May 4th at 6:30pm
With Bhante Sujatha

In these times, we strive to achieve more and we desire more than we ever have and yet our happiness and the peace we all seek continues to slip further and further away. We see the burning desire within so many people to love more deeply, to live more fully and to find sustainable sturdy happiness.

Many religions and wisdom teachers encourage us to cherish one another as a way to find what we’re all seeking…. however it’s clearly not working. Until we authentically learn to love ourselves and become our own best friends, we are lost. Not yet have we seen someone find true inner peace and happiness without first loving themselves.

Through the very simple but not very easy practice of loving-kindness meditation we can change the destiny of humanity. When we practice loving-kindness to ourselves first we are giving a unique and powerful gift to the whole world… It’s through our self love that we love the whole world. Loving-kindness meditation when practiced with sincerity and commitment can alter your brain and change the way you see the whole world.

When you change the way you see the world, the world changes.

Please join Buddhist Monk Bhante Sujatha in a conversation about how to find sturdy happiness and inner peace through the practice of loving-kindness meditation.
