Bhante Sujatha is a Buddhist Monk.  His ambitious work and tireless dedication are not only the aspects of his character, but results of his practice.  No matter where Bhante is, one can rest assured that he would be working.  Still, as a monk, and a single human being, there is only so much that Bhante can accomplish on his own.

We all know that in order to help others, to move about, and to simply survive requires resources.  This is an undeniable fact, and so to continue the work that he does, Bhante needs support.

This page presents a chance for you to offer that support.

It is true that much of what Bhante does is simply to create opportunities for people to give support where it is needed.  Because he has spent many years focusing of charitable efforts, Bhante is contacted by people all over the world everyday seeking some kind of support, hoping that he can find a way to help them.

Often times many of us do not have the time or chances to find meaningful causes, or have the security to know that what we offer will go to its intended target.  Bhante Sujatha’s commitment, hard work, and vision have gained the trust of donors across the globe that participate in his work by contributing their time, expertise, and financial support.

Not surprisingly, the majority of those who support him, are individuals whom Bhante has helped; those who know him personally, and wish to invest in him, knowing that benefits of the return will be exponential.

There are lots of ways to help, and rather than ask for donations, we ask you to “get involved.”

Below are descriptions of some of our upcoming projects.

Annual Pregnant Mother’s Retreat

 

Bhante Sujatha believes that “Children are our future, and their well-being and first teacher are their mothers.”
To support mothers and babies, Bhante has undertaken projects to provide incubators, medicine, and phototherapy machines to hospitals in Sri Lanka, and more than 10 years ago, he created the “Annual Retreat for Pregnant Women” where 300 expecting women are invited to attend a day retreat to learn and practice loving-kindness meditation, receive education on health care and nutrition from certified doctors, are served lunch, and are provided parcels of essential items for newborns.
The depth of this program goess beyond helping 300 women by providing gifts. The purpose of this program is to nurture those who will nurture the future of this world. If you would like to donate to this program, you can do so by clicking this button:

Project Hope & Freedom: Mobility Equipment for Differently Abled Children in Sri Lanka

Every child deserves the chance to move freely and explore the world around them. My heart was deeply touched by the incredible work being done at the Sirimavo Bandaranayaka Children’s Hospital in Sri Lanka. At this government hospital the physical therapy department designs mobility equipment unique to each child for their needs and development. This equipment is clearly necessary for each child, but unfortunately, the government lacks the funds to support the demand.

Two years ago we visited the hospital and donated 3 units. After seeing the benefit and learning of the demand, we made it an initiative and delivered 150 units in 2024.

There is a long list of children in need and list keeps growing everyday. We can’t help everyone, but each unit helps someone!

These pieces are uniquely designed by doctors and manufactured in Sri Lanka. And because these are locally made, we are not only supporting these kids, but we are also supporting Sri Lankan businesses and are able to keep costs much lower than when compared to the international manufacturers.

We have been able to reduce the cost for each piece of equipment to USD $150.

With just a small donation, we can make a monumental difference in the lives of these children. Together, with your generosity, we can make the mission of providing the gift of mobility to these children a reality.

Supporting the Monk Behind the Mission: Donating to Bhante Sujatha

Bhante Sujatha has been a Buddhist monk for 45 years and has devoted his life to the practice of cultivating mindfulness and the noble qualities of compassion, equanimity, sympathetic-joy, and loving-kindness. After years of study and training in a small village in Sri Lanka, he entered the western world. Over the last 30 years he has worked tirelessly to share the teachings of the Buddha in a practical and approachable way to audiences around the world, and has concurrently used his energy and support to uplift the world in countless charitable initiatives. Through it all, as a Buddhist monk, he has never received a salary, and to this day takes no income from the temple he founded, nor any government agency. He survives on the donations and support he receives.
While the teachings of the Buddha and Bhante Sujatha are free of charge, the world is not. If you believe in Bhante, and would like to see his work continue, we encourage you to offer some support for his living expenses. By supporting Bhante, you make a ripple in the waters of compassion and kindness that can grow into a wave of support for the world.
