SUMMARY:Stop Sitting Around! A Mindful Hike with Bhante Sujatha
DESCRIPTION:“STOP SITTING AROUND!” \nA Mindful Hike with Bhante Sujatha \nWe all get accustomed to our thinking mind’s perceptions of right and wrong: This is the right way; this is the wrong way…. Our spiritual practice however\, teaches us to let go of some of these certainties\, and discover new ways to experience mindful practice. \nMany people are accustomed to the belief that meditation practice only happens while sitting on a cushion. Our minds can become conditioned in this way\, and we forget that meditation is a practice for developing mindfulness for daily living. \nJoin Bhante Sujatha on a morning hike with mindfulness and noble friends\, to shake up your practice and challenge the notions that you may or may not have adopted. \nIn this hike\, Bhante and a group of noble friends will share time skillfully with hiking\, sharing meaningful conversation\, practicing stillness to experience nature\, and learning to watch the steps and breaths taken along the way. \nDate: December 29\, 2024 \nTime: 7:00 AM \nStarting Location: The Phoenix Mountain Preserve\, 40th Street Trailhead \nRegistration: For Head Count Purposes\, please register on Eventbrite \nA donation of $10 or more are cheerfully welcomed at this event. \nAll proceeds support Bhante Sujatha and his charitable works including the “Annual Pregnant Mother’s Retreat” in Sri Lanka. \nNOTES: \nWe will meet in the parking lot at the trailhead. The hike begins at 7:00 a.m. Please arrive a few minutes early for the head count. \nThere will be a brief sitting meditation and discussion\, please bring a mat or blanket if you like for sitting. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo Register\, Click: HERE

SUMMARY:New Year Blessings and Healing Meditation with Bhante Sujatha
DESCRIPTION:Healing Meditation and New Year Blessings with Bhante Sujatha\nThe 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. \nJoin Bhante Sujatha\, The Loving-Kindness monk\, this new year season for an unforgettable blessing experience to initiate your new year with commitment and determination. \nA 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. \nThis 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. \nBhante will then chant the Ratana Sutra\, a 2\,600-year-old Buddhist chant describing a wish for world-wide good health\, healing\, and blessings. \nFinally\, 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. \nThe 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. \nJoin 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. \nYou are encouraged to bring your malas\, or any other items that you wish to be blessed in this ceremony. \n$40 per person \n· Proceeds go to Bhante’s pregnant mothers and Incubator Project in Sri Lanka \n· Book signing and “Choose Loving Kindness” items will be available for purchase \n  \nTo Register\, Click: HERE
