SUMMARY:Practical Sutra Study with Bhante Sujatha Monthly on Zoom
DESCRIPTION:“Buddha vacana” (the Buddha’s words) are lifestyles. \nI have observed and interacted with many scholars pursuing the teaching of the Buddha through academic practices. I myself have done this as part of my monk’s training\, and know it is very important for our growth as monks\, for the purpose of making the Dhamma accessible to people\, and for the purpose of protecting the life of the Buddha Dhamma. \nStudying these beautiful teachings is important\, but we also have to understand that if they are not put into a daily practice\, they serve as much purpose as a book collecting dust on the shelf. I do not think the Buddha intended for the teachings to simply be collected and memorized\, but to be understood\, and applied. \nAs I understand at this time in my practice\, there are two Dharmas: \n1. Head Dharma \n2. Heart Dharma \nI have met practitioners and students all over the world\, and many of them approach the teaching from either one of these aspects\, but it is my wish for people to develop both. \nTaking into consideration requests from students across the world for more sutra studies\, I have decided to create this “Practical Sutra Study Session” as a monthly program designed to give more support to those on the path of self awareness and mindfulness. \nI hope that you can join\, and come together with noble friends to deepen our practice together. \nMay you be well\, happy\, and peaceful. \nCOST: $10\n \nA link will be sent to all registrants 2 hours before the workshop begins. \nWANT TO PARTICIPATE BUT UNABLE TO JOIN? \nNOT TO WORRY! \nTHE EVENT WILL BE RECORDED AND SENT TO ALL REGISTERED GUESTS! \nTo Register\, Click: HERE

SUMMARY:Being Your Own Best Friend: A Mindfulness Workshop with Bhante Sujatha
DESCRIPTION:I believe people are so unhappy because they try to understand what is happening out in the world and outside of themselves. \nWhat is the nature of friendship? Our friends are those who we depend on; who we look to in order to belong\, who we wish to help in their time of need\, and who we seek for comfort and counsel. We spend so much time trying to invest in our status and our relationships in order to find fulfillment\, and in doing so we frequently forget our own well-being\, or put our own selves at the bottom of our list. \nIn my experience\, whether the relationship is with a family member\, spouse\, or friend\, these still exist outside of our inner world\, and no dissatisfaction can be completely resolved from the outside. To find true peace and happiness we must start working from the inside out; we must understand our true nature and work to create peace inside ourselves. It is only when we can be a noble friend to ourselves\, that we can be a noble friend to another. There is no way out but in. \nJoin me\, Bhante Sujatha\, in this 2-hour workshop for an open conversation about our habit of seeking outward gratification\, and the path to discovering our inner value in order to learn how to authentically love ourselves and become our own best friends. \n\nActivities in this program will include: \n\nLecture: “Being Your Own Best Friend.”\nInstruction in the practice of meditation.\nGuided mindfulness and loving-kindness meditation.\nTime for Questions & Answers.\n\nBenefits of this beautiful workshop can include: \n\nReduced stress\, anxiety\, worry\, and depression.\nHealing and enhancing relationships with others.\nGaining a sense of empowerment over challenging issues in life.\nInsights into life’s purpose.\nAwakening to the blessings of the present moment.\nConfidence in attaining unshakable inner peace.\n\nTo Register\, Click HERE

SUMMARY:How to Empower Your Mind: An Ancient Wisdom Practice
DESCRIPTION:Rumi 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 clearly understand how they are influenced\, the root causes of struggle and what we can do with our minds to make things better are revealed. The result is sustainable happiness and radiant joy. \nIn his life as a Buddhist monk\, Bhante Sujatha has been given a front row seat to the incredible transformations that have developed within so many people as he has taught them how to empower their minds. Cultivating these qualities will help you too find strength and happiness\, as well as nurture in 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. \nBenefits of this workshop include: \n• Reduced stress\, anxiety\, worry and depression \n• Healing and enhancing relationships with others \n• Gaining a sense of empowerment over challenging issues in your life \n• Insights into your life purpose \n• Awakening to the blessings of the present moment \n• Working towards an unshakable inner peace \n  \nAdvanced registration required. \nProceeds help support Bhante’s “Pregnant Mother’s Program” and Incubator Project in Sri Lanka. \nChoose Loving-Kindness Items and Bhante’s publications will be available for purchase on site\, and Bhante will be able to for book signing following the program. \nTo Register\, Click HERE

SUMMARY:Awakening in the Midst of Life: A Meditation for Inner Recognition with Bhante Sujatha
DESCRIPTION:Life doesn’t take a time out for us\, even when we feel like we need it. But we have the power to take our mind out of life\, and can use this ability to observe it clearly. This is the way we bring our practice off of the cushion and into the midst of life. By learning to keep our mind open and aware throughout the day\, we discover the true application of mindfulness practice. \nIn this workshop\, Bhante Sujatha will guide you through techniques that help to dissolve the lines between the “beginning” and “ending” of a meditation practice\, and discover that mindfulness is an ongoing process that becomes a companion in life. \nIn this program suitable for both new and seasoned practitioners\, we will learn how to measure our responses\, become more adaptive\, reduce conflict\, and manage emotions. \nJoin Bhante Sujatha in this workshop to learn that in both good times and bad\, we always have the choice to step back and see what is happening. \n\nThis session will include: \n\nAn Introduction – Awakening in the Midst of Life\nA Guided Mediation\nGroup Discussion: Time for questions and answers\n\nProceeds go to Bhante’s “Mothers & Incubator Project” in Sri Lanka.

SUMMARY:L.O.V.E.:  Living Our Values Everyday Mindfulness Workshop
DESCRIPTION:All the time we talk about love\, we hear it in the media\, we see it portrayed everywhere\, and we describe all the things we “love” without thinking twice. \nBut what do we really mean when we talk about love? How can we use the same term for how we feel about a food to describe the way we feel about another person? \nLove is an action. Love is a value. Before we can truly declare that we love something\, we have to define ourselves and our own values first. Once we clearly understand these principles\, we can then present our true intentions in ways that show the depth of our words\, and give gravity beyond terms alone. \nTo truly give love\, we have to understand\, nurture\, and love ourselves first. This is the cultivation that we will be able to share\, and there will be no misunderstanding when we act in alignment with our values. \nJoin Bhante Sujatha to reflect on understanding what “love” really means to you\, and how to bring it to your life and whatever you cherish\, every single day. \nActivities in this program will include: \n\n\nLecture: “Living Our Values Everyday.” \n\n\nInstruction in the practice of meditation. \n\n\nGuided mindfulness and loving-kindness meditation. \n\n\nTime for Questions & Answers. \n\n\nBenefits of this beautiful workshop can include: \n\n\nReduced stress\, anxiety\, worry\, and depression. \n\n\nHealing and enhancing relationships with others. \n\n\nGaining a sense of empowerment over challenging issues in life. \n\n\nInsights into life’s purpose. \n\n\nAwakening to the blessings of the present moment. \n\n\nConfidence in attaining unshakable inner peace. \n\n\nTo Register\, Click HERE

SUMMARY:Finding Peace and Contentment in the Western World With Bhante Sujatha
DESCRIPTION:“The pursuit of happiness” is a common bond that unites us all. Nearly everyone on the planet is actively engaged in finding sustainable happiness. \nStill\, regardless of our economic or social position\, regardless of what we’ve acquired along the way\, happiness seems to exist as a mysterious wind that comes in\, fills us with joy\, and then leaves as unpredictably as when it arrived. We search for ways to capture it\, to keep it around and within us for the long term\, but inevitably it escapes us and we find ourselves searching again. \nIn this workshop\, Bhante Sujatha teaches us that although we can’t buy or build happiness\, we can cultivate a simple mindfulness practice in our daily lives that leads to a sustainable contentment which can permeate every aspect of our lives. \n“Mindfulness in everyday life is easy to learn\, simple to practice\, and an essential element in creating a happy life.” \nActivities in this program will include: \n\nLecture: “What Is Happiness?”\nInstruction in the Practice of Mindfulness and Loving-Kindness Meditation\nTime for Questions & Answers\n\nBenefits of this workshop can include: \n\nReduced stress\, anxiety\, worry\, and depression.\nHealing and enhancing relationships with others.\nGaining a sense of empowerment over challenging issues in life.\nInsights into life’s purpose.\nAwakening to the blessings of the present moment.\nConfidence in attaining unshakable inner peace.\n\nAdvanced registration required.\nProceeds help support Bhante’s “Pregnant Mother’s Program” and Incubator Project in Sri Lanka.\n“Choose Loving-Kindness” products and Bhante’s publications will be available for purchase on site\, and Bhante will be able to for book signing following the program. \nTo Register\, Click HERE

SUMMARY:The Greatest Step Toward Simplicity with Bhante Sujatha

Letting go means accepting the things you can’t change and doing something about the things you can. \nIn this 2-hour workshop\, Bhante Sujatha recounts tales from his own life experiences\, and how these hard-won lessons when viewed with mindful awareness provided insight into awakening. \nJoin Bhante Sujatha for this special opportunity to practice with him\, share in his wisdom\, and get your questions answered as you learn how the practice of mediation and the wisdom teachings of the Buddha can help guide you in the process of letting go. \n  \nActivities in this program will include: \n\nLecture: “The Greatest Step Toward Simplicity.”\nInstruction in the practice of meditation.\nGuided mindfulness and loving-kindness meditation.\nTime for Questions & Answers.\n\nBenefits of this beautiful workshop can include: \n\nReduced stress\, anxiety\, worry\, and depression.\nHealing and enhancing relationships with others.\nGaining a sense of empowerment over challenging issues in life.\nInsights into life’s purpose.\nAwakening to the blessings of the present moment.\nConfidence in attaining unshakable inner peace.\n\nTo Register\, Click HERE

SUMMARY:Practical Sutra Study with Bhante Sujatha Monthly on Zoom
DESCRIPTION:“Buddha vacana” (the Buddha’s words) are lifestyles. \nI have observed and interacted with many scholars pursuing the teaching of the Buddha through academic practices. I myself have done this as part of my monk’s training\, and know it is very important for our growth as monks\, for the purpose of making the Dhamma accessible to people\, and for the purpose of protecting the life of the Buddha Dhamma. \nStudying these beautiful teachings is important\, but we also have to understand that if they are not put into a daily practice\, they serve as much purpose as a book collecting dust on the shelf. I do not think the Buddha intended for the teachings to simply be collected and memorized\, but to be understood\, and applied. \nAs I understand at this time in my practice\, there are two Dharmas: \n1. Head Dharma \n2. Heart Dharma \nI have met practitioners and students all over the world\, and many of them approach the teaching from either one of these aspects\, but it is my wish for people to develop both. \nTaking into consideration requests from students across the world for more sutra studies\, I have decided to create this “Practical Sutra Study Session” as a monthly program designed to give more support to those on the path of self awareness and mindfulness. \nI hope that you can join\, and come together with noble friends to deepen our practice together. \nMay you be well\, happy\, and peaceful. \nCOST: $10 \nA link will be sent to all registrants 2 hours before the workshop begins. \nWANT TO PARTICIPATE BUT UNABLE TO JOIN? \nNOT TO WORRY! \nTHE EVENT WILL BE RECORDED AND SENT TO ALL REGISTERED GUESTS! \n  \nTo Register\, Click HERE

SUMMARY:1/2 Day Retreat with Bhante Sujatha: Meditation\, Sound Therapy\, & Blessings
DESCRIPTION:Join Bhante Sujatha\, The Loving-Kindness monk\, for an unforgettable experience to set intentions\, let go of what is no longer serving us\, and clear the way for unconditional love from ourselves and others. \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 lead a blessing ceremony with chanting describing a wish for world-wide good health\, healing\, and blessings along with a healing sound bath led by host Cheryl Hobbs. \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. \nSound meditation is truly an amazing experience for the body\, mind\, and soul. While you are relaxing\, the sounds and frequencies will be vibrating through your body\, allowing you to let go of energy blockages.

SUMMARY:Making Peace with the Past: How to Deal with Our Memories
DESCRIPTION:Making Peace with the Past: How to Deal with Our Memories \nMemory is the faculty in which the mind stores and remembers information. Our memories are emotional imprints. Whenever a memory arises\, whether good or bad\, we are no longer in the present moment. A good memory can feel so good and joyful\, and help influence our actions in the present moment. When we have labeled a memory as a bad one\, it can feel painful and scary\, which also influences our actions in the present moment. \nMany of us are stuck in old memories that keep influencing the present. We often don’t know how to deal with them\, how to let them move through our emotions with ease and let them go. We struggle with who to talk with\, often keeping thoughts deep inside to rot like an apple at the bottom of a fruit bowl. \nJoin Bhante Sujatha in this workshop exploring how to heal the pain caused by the influence of memories. Bhante will guide you through specific steps to make peace with the past once and for all\, and carry our memories\, both good and bad\, as sacred mile markers on our journey\, but not as a GPS for the future. \nActivities in this program will include: \n– Lecture: “Making Peace with the Past.” \n– Instruction in the practice of meditation. \n– Guided mindfulness and loving-kindness meditation. \n– Time for Questions & Answers. \nBenefits of this beautiful workshop can include: \n– Reduced stress\, anxiety\, worry\, and depression. \n– Healing and enhancing relationships with others. \n– Gaining a sense of empowerment over challenging issues in life. \n– Insights into life’s purpose. \n– Awakening to the blessings of the present moment. \n– Confidence in attaining unshakable inner peace. \nCOST: $40 \nTo Register\, Click: HERE
