New Year Blessing Ceremony at Zen Life Center for Healing

Healing Meditation and New Year Blessings with Bhante Sujatha

The new year is a time for healing, setting intentions, letting go of what is no longer serving us, and clearing the way for unconditional love from ourselves and others.

Join Bhante Sujatha, The Loving-Kindness monk, this new year season for an unforgettable blessing experience to initiate your new year with commitment and determination.

A blessing ceremony is a mindful intention to contact and share that which is good, particularly in a divine sense. Our practice will include connecting with the force of goodness inside each of us and then inviting this ‘energy’ into a particular situation to help the whole world.

This program begins with a brief, inspiring talk by Bhante Sujatha on the benefits of creating, refreshing, and establishing a sturdy meditation practice in our lives in order to support the goals we set to be our best self, followed by a guided meditation.

Bhante will then chant the Ratana Sutra, a 2,600-year-old Buddhist chant describing a wish for world-wide good health, healing, and blessings.

Finally, the group will join together in an ancient and symbolic act of cleansing by bathing the Buddha; pouring scented, blessed water over a Buddha statue while making intentions for our lives and the world.

The Buddha image embodies the enlightened presence of the qualities of a Buddha. This ritual comes in different forms in each country that it is practiced in, but they are all lines drawn from a single sacred story. It is a story that brings sentient beings together in a joyful celebration of a promise. That promise is nothing less than the end of suffering and ignorance.

Join Bhante Sujatha and joyful friends as we come together as a spiritual community to experience the healing power of unconditional love and to receive well-wishes as you practice nobility and peace in this life.

You are encouraged to bring your malas, or any other items that you wish to be blessed in this ceremony.
