Practical Sutra Study with Bhante Sujatha Monthly on Zoom
2025-02-25 19:30 - 20:30, 2025-03-24 19:30 - 20:30 (America/Chicago) | Online Event
“Buddha vacana” (the Buddha’s words) are lifestyles.
I 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.
Studying 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.
As I understand at this time in my practice, there are two Dharmas:
1. Head Dharma
2. Heart Dharma
I 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.
Taking 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.
I hope that you can join, and come together with noble friends to deepen our practice together.
May you be well, happy, and peaceful.

The Greatest Step Toward Simplicity: A Mindfulness Workshop with Bhante Sujatha
2025-03-20 17:30 - 19:00 (America/Chicago) | Yoga With Love, 417 Euclid Avenue, Loch Arbor, NJ, 07711, United States
“The greatest step towards a life of simplicity is to learn to let go.”
Letting go doesn’t mean relying on the idea that life will just get better. Letting go requires deep insight into universal truths, and learning to keep those at the front of our understanding.
Letting go means being brave, to move forward from positions of comfort to discomfort, being willing to face challenges in order to get to where you want to be. Letting go means accepting the things you can’t change and doing something about the things you can.
In 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.
Join 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.

Activities in this program will include:

Lecture: “The Greatest Step Toward Simplicity.”
Instruction in the practice of meditation.
Guided mindfulness and 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.
It’s this mysterious wind that seems to come in, fill us with joy, then leave as unpredictably as it arrived. 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.
How can we obtain something we can’t buy or build?
In this 2-hour workshop, Bhante Sujatha teaches that we can’t possess permanent happiness, but we can redefine our understanding of what it is to be happy, and how a simple mindfulness practice can cultivate sustainable peace 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.

Lecture: “Mindfulness for Everyday Life.”

L.O.V.E.: Living Our Values Everyday Mindfulness Workshop
2025-03-26 17:30 - 19:00 (America/Chicago) | New Earth Healing Gifts & Services, 177 Main Street, Manasquan, NJ, 08736, United States
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.
But 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?
Love 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.
To 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.
Join 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.
Activities in this program will include:

Lecture: “Living Our Values Everyday.”

Instruction in the practice of meditation.

Awakening in the Midst of Life: A Meditation for Inner Recognition with Bhante Sujatha
2025-03-29 10:00 - 12:00 (America/Chicago) | Beck Wellness Center, 490 Lakehurst Road, Tom's River, NJ, 08755, United States
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.
In 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.
In 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.
Join 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.

This session will include:

An Introduction – Awakening in the Midst of Life
A Guided Mediation
Group Discussion: Time for questions and answers

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.

How to Empower Your Mind: An Ancient Wisdom Practice
2025-04-03 16:30 - 18:00 (America/Chicago) | Ora Wellness Center, 5 Atwood Ave., Tenafly, NJ, 07670, United States
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.
In 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.
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
• Working towards an unshakable inner peace

You will be able to lie down, relax, and go into a deep meditative state and allow your body to release and let go of emotional blocks.

This unique experience is something that will resonate within you long after the event is over.

Being Your Own Best Friend: A Mindfulness Workshop with Bhante Sujatha
2025-04-06 15:00 - 16:30 (America/Chicago) | Flow Yoga Ho-Ho_Kus, 22 Hollywood Avenue, Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ, 07423, United States
I believe people are so unhappy because they try to understand what is happening out in the world and outside of themselves.
What 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.
In 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.
Join 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.

Activities in this program will include:

Lecture: “Being Your Own Best Friend.”
Instruction in the practice of meditation.
Guided mindfulness and loving-kindness meditation.
Time for Questions & Answers.

Practical Sutra Study with Bhante Sujatha Monthly on Zoom
2025-05-22 19:30 - 20:30 (America/Chicago) | Online Event
“Buddha vacana” (the Buddha’s words) are lifestyles.
I 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.
Studying 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.
As I understand at this time in my practice, there are two Dharmas:
1. Head Dharma
2. Heart Dharma
I 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.
Taking 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.
I hope that you can join, and come together with noble friends to deepen our practice together.
May you be well, happy, and peaceful.
COST: $10

A link will be sent to all registrants 2 hours before the workshop begins.
