SUMMARY:How To Empower Your Mind: An Ancient Wisdom Practice with Bhante Sujatha
DESCRIPTION:Buddha says “what you seek is seeking you”… perhaps it’s true. The evidence of the power of our minds is undeniable. The ancient texts of the Buddha tell us that no external condition can be the cause of our happiness\, only the mind has that ability. When people understand how they are influenced\, the root causes of struggle and what we can do with our minds to make things better\, sustainable happiness and radiant joy are the result. My life as a Buddhist monk has given me a front row seat to incredible transformation within so many people as I teach them how to empower the mind and cultivate the qualities that will help you find strength and happiness\, as well as give you a burning desire to add more love to the world. When we understand our mind\, we begin to re-shape our behavior and feelings about so many things… it’s the most loving act of service one can do for themselves and the world.\nThe cost of this workshop is $40.\nProceeds go to Bhante’s Pregnant Mothers and Incubator Project in Sri Lanka.\nChoose loving kindness T Shirts and other items will be available to purchase.\nBhante Sujatha\, a 30+ year Buddhist Monk\, is singularly focused on adding more love in the world. Bhante teaches loving-kindness meditation to people around the globe for all those seeking the art of happiness and contentment. His approach to meditation is deep and simple\, bringing core Buddhist teachings to everyone in a way that is practical and easy to understand. A joyful\, radiant\, funny and wildly energetic monk\, Bhante will help you obtain peace that can only be found in deep silence. He is originally from Sri Lanka and is the head monk / abbot of the Blue Lotus Buddhist Temple and Meditation Center in Woodstock\, IL.

SUMMARY:How to Enpower Your Mind with Bhante Sujatha
DESCRIPTION:When Buddha says “what you seek is seeking you”… perhaps it’s true. The evidence of the power of our minds is undeniable.. The ancient texts of the Buddha tell us that no external condition can be the cause of our happiness\, only the mind has that ability. When people understand how they are influenced\, the root causes of struggle and what we can do with our minds to make things better\, sustainable happiness and radiant joy are the result. My life as a Buddhist monk has given me a front row seat to incredible transformation within so many people as I teach them how to empower the mind and cultivate the qualities that will help you find strength and happiness\, as well as give you a burning desire to add more love to the world. When we understand our mind\, we begin to re-shape our behavior and feelings about so many things… it’s the most loving act of service one can do for themselves and the world.

SUMMARY:FINDING TRUE PEACE (BY FORGIVING EVERYONE) WITH BHANTE SUJATHA
DESCRIPTION:Finding True Peace (by forgiving everyone)… a discussion on how to let go and move on.\nBy Bhante Sujatha\nBuddha said\, to understand everything is to forgive everything. Does this make you mad? Yes\, me too sometimes. It’s easy to say we forgive but not easy to do\, especially when someone has wronged or hurt us. All the wisdom teachings I know of invite us to find true inner peace by letting go of the hurt others have caused. When we realize that to hold on to anger only causes us harm\, it becomes more urgent to learn ways to cultivate compassion and extend forgiveness.\nA common misunderstanding is the belief that once you forgive you are done. I have found\, forgiveness requires daily renewal and vigilant effort. As with all things in this life\, our feelings change moment by moment\, so\, we have to work to forgive again and again every day\, every moment. Please join me in a conversational workshop on forgiveness and the steps we must take to truly forgive ourselves and others\, love ourselves\, and renew this commitment every day. Forgive others not because they deserve forgiveness\, but because you deserve peace – Buddha\n\nWhy Should You attend?\nBhante believes his purpose is not only to teach meditation\, but also\, “teaching people how to be happy.”\nFee: $40\nProceeds go to to Bhante’s Incubator Project in Sri Lanka\nBhante does his book signing after the workshop and chooses loving kindness T Shirts also available to purchase.\nBhante Sujatha\, a 30+ year Buddhist Monk\, is singularly focuses on adding more love in the world. Bhante teaches loving-kindness meditation to people around the globe for all those seeking the art of happiness and contentment. His approach to meditation is deep and simple\, bringing core Buddhist teachings to everyone in a way that is practical and easy to understand.
