IN STUDIO How to Empower your Mind” an Ancient wisdom practice with Bhante Sujatha
2022-05-07 12:00 - 14:00 (America/New_York) | Monmouth Beach Yoga & Wellness, 36 Beach Road, Suite 10, Monmouth Beach, NJ 07750
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.

How to be your own best friend: A conversation on the practice of loving-kindness

How to be your own best friend: A conversation on the practice of loving-kindness
Wednesday, May 4th at 6:30pm
With Bhante Sujatha
In these times, we strive to achieve more and we desire more than we ever have and yet our happiness and the peace we all seek continues to slip further and further away. We see the burning desire within so many people to love more deeply, to live more fully and to find sustainable sturdy happiness.
Many religions and wisdom teachers encourage us to cherish one another as a way to find what we’re all seeking…. however it’s clearly not working. Until we authentically learn to love ourselves and become our own best friends, we are lost. Not yet have we seen someone find true inner peace and happiness without first loving themselves.
Through the very simple but not very easy practice of loving-kindness meditation we can change the destiny of humanity. When we practice loving-kindness to ourselves first we are giving a unique and powerful gift to the whole world… It’s through our self love that we love the whole world. Loving-kindness meditation when practiced with sincerity and commitment can alter your brain and change the way you see the whole world.
When you change the way you see the world, the world changes.
Please join Buddhist Monk Bhante Sujatha in a conversation about how to find sturdy happiness and inner peace through the practice of loving-kindness meditation.

“The pursuit of happiness” is a common bond that unites so many of us— regardless of our economic or social position, regardless of what we’ve acquired along the way, nearly everyone on the planet is actively engaged in finding sustainable happiness.

We search for ways to capture it— to keep it around and within us long term, but inevitably it escapes and we find ourselves searching again. We can’t buy it, we can’t build it— but we can cultivate a simple mindfulness practice that leads to Sustainable happiness that will permeate every aspect of our lives. Mindfulness in everyday life is easy to learn, simple to practice and an essential element in creating a happy life.

Dharma Talk with Bhante Sujatha
2022-04-26 19:30 - 21:30 (America/Chicago) | Red Head Yoga
Are you searching for a balanced mind?
Do you hear the word balance in the world and long for that feeling?
The world is always shaking, the world is always throwing us off. Things on the outside are always changing. When you see someone who looks balanced, do not believe it as true. You cannot see balance from the outside.. balance is an inner experience only. It is never outside. I think it is something you feel in another.
Inner balance can happen in any environment. Balance can happen no matter what the outside conditions are. Balance comes when even if our body is shaking our mind is still. Balance comes from a developed mind. Please join me, Bhante Sujatha, to practice together to develop a balanced and peaceful inner life so that you can better navigate whatever happens in the outside world.
