SUMMARY:2023 Baby and Mother Blessing
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, February 18\, pregnant women\, new babies\, toddlers and even youngsters up to 5 years old are invited to participate in the Annual Baby Blessing to be held at Blue Lotus Temple and Meditation Center in Woodstock\, IL.\nThe brief but moving ceremony will be held during the regular Saturday meditation service beginning at 10 a.m. After the regular 30-minute guided meditation\, the families will join everyone in the Dhamma Hall and receive a traditional blessing and mindfulness bracelets for parents and children. Each child will also receive a certificate of the ceremony.\nThe short ceremony reminds parents and other adults to be good and positive influences for these children\, and to be adults who earn their trust and respect over the years as they grow. It is an occasion that creates a memory for the entire family and the community of practitioners\, reminding us of how we are connected to each other and interdependent on each other.Everyone is welcome to join the ceremony and celebration of the children’s blessings.\nParents who want to participate with their children must pre-register with the office at Blue Lotus\, by emailing office@bluelotustemple.org .\nThere is a suggested offering of $20 per family\, to cover costs of certificates and to help support the hospital projects of Bhante Sujatha when he travels to Sri Lanka.

SUMMARY:How to Empower your Mind” an Ancient wisdom practice with Bhante Sujatha
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 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.\n\n~Admission Fee is $40\n~Advanced registration required\, seating is limited\n~Proceeds go to Bhante’s pregnant mother’s and Incubator Project in Sri Lanka\n~Book signing and Bhante’s Choose Loving Kindness items will be available to purchase\n~Bring a blanket or pillow to sit on\, some chairs will be provided if needed\n\nAbout Bhante:\nBhante Sujatha\, a 30+ year Buddhist Monk\, is singularly focused on adding more love in the world.
