Join Bhante Sujatha for an intimate conversation on how to train your mind to find the good,
how to use your practice to benefit the world, and how to find blessings in a fast-paced and
oftentimes noisy world.
At times there is the notion that meditation is a playful and fantastical space for your mind to
wander. Bhante Sujatha guides us to understand that meditation should in fact be approached
as a positive and realistic journey; one that comes with both relaxed and mindful expectations.
As an opportunity to discuss our own personal life experiences to help deepen our practice, this
workshop can be a life changing experience that will bring strength and authenticity to the
forefront of your practice.
We hope this time together will leave you feeling more mindful, centered, and ready to serve.
Activities and benefits of this workshop include:
* Reduced stress, anxiety, worry and depression
* Healing and enhancing relationships with others
* Gaining a sense of empowerment over challenging issues in your life
* Insights into your life purpose
* Awakening to the blessings of the present moment
* Attending unshakable inner peace

In this 10 – Day retreat you will find all that you need to nourish the journey within, and access those benefits in the beautiful setting of Sri Lanka.

About Upul Gamage:
Upul Nishantha Gamage, present resident meditation teacher at Nilambe Buddhist Meditation Centre in Sri Lanka, has been guiding thousands of people from different backgrounds who come to Nilambe to practice meditation. Upul started meditation in 1977, at 13 years of age. At that time, he was instrumental in establishing a Youth Society at a Buddhist Temple near his parents’ house and got involved in many activities as the Secretary of the Society. In late 80’s, he had offered to help Godwin at a point where someone’s assistance with the activities at the Meditation Centre was vital.
Ever since he has been a very dear friend and an outstanding Dhamma teacher for thousands of people who attend programs conducted by him, also many others who are yet to attend his programs and a counselor for those who are in need of counseling. Besides teaching at Nilambe, Upul conducts programs at prisons, schools, monasteries, private residences etc. He is regularly invited to conduct meditation retreats in Hong Kong, Germany, Switzerland and Sweden. According to his teaching, practice of Meditation paves the path to help ourselves, to understand ourselves and to change ourselves for better as we are becoming more and more mindful about all our day-to-day activities. Moreover, Upul’s great ability to speak to our hearts and practical and philosophical way of presenting Dhamma has enormous power to make us practice Meditation in a joyful manner.
