Monthly Online Practical Sutra Study with Bhante Sujatha – June 2025
2025-06-26 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.

Dear Friends,
Every year I am blessed with the chance to visit Miami to meet my friends, make new ones, and to share the Dhamma of the Buddha including the teachings of loving-kindness as I have understood them through my life experiences.
For all my friends who are planning to meet me, I look forward to seeing you soon and know we will have memorable experiences together. I also want to inspire you to think about introducing the practice and workshops to your friends and families who may have never tried meditation before. Of all the gifts we give to each other, the chance to be together and develop our well-being and mindfulness is potentially life changing and priceless.
If I see you or not, please continue your practice and to take care of yourself. Mindfulness is something that doesn’t require religion or belief, but it does require an open mind, diligent attention, and daily practice. Do these, and you will find that you are the key to your well-being, and that your greatest support is your practice.
Something new! My teams has found that many people are interested in hosting an event, scheduling one on one time with me, or creating an inventive occasion, but don’t know how to get started. If you have an idea, and would like to learn more, please write to my assistant Michael at bhantesassistantmichael@gmail.com
Wishing everyone all my blessings and a happy holiday season.
May you be well, happy, and peaceful.

A Meditation for Thanksgiving with Bhante Sujatha Online via Zoom
2025-11-25 19:30 - 20:30 (America/Chicago) | Online Event
Dear Friends,
As November has come, talk of Thanksgiving is in the air. As I notice this, it has given me pause to reflect on why we give thanks, what we give thanks for, and how we practice giving thanks.In my reflections, it is clear to me that all of these are so different for so many of us, and influence us all in so many ways.
I would like to invite you to join me on November 25th from wherever you are to take time to clear our minds and recenter ourselves for the holiday. In this way we can deepen our connection with ourselves, investigate our values, and possibly bring our best selves and an open mind to the holiday table.
I hope to see you there, and wish you all a safe, healthy, and happy holiday.
May you be well, happy, and peaceful.

Bhante Sujatha's Hawaii Dhamma Tour
2025-12-08 08:00 - 2025-12-26 17:00 (America/Chicago) | Hawaii, Kihei, Maui, HI, 96753, United States
Dear Friends,
After a year of traveling, working at the Blue Lotus, raising funds for charitable works, and conducting online classes and private sessions, I am happy to say I will again be ending 2025 with a visit to stunning Hawaii. I have been invited to the island of Maui for some workshops, and am looking forward to the beautiful atmosphere, climate, and people.
As much as I look forward to relaxing in that peaceful place, I want to keep my commitment to use my time. The holidays are coming, and as wonderful as they are, many people find them very stress inducing and some even dread the holidays. Because of this, I want to be there for those who seek refuge in their practice, and would like to share some time with me and other noble friends.
If you are in Hawaii and have the time and interest, I encourage you to take some time with us, and if you have been to one of my workshops in the past and are planning to return, I ask that you to consider inviting a friend. We can practice meditation anywhere, but it is important to have shared experiences and to be inspired by collective energy.
Something new! My teams has found that many people are interested in hosting an event, scheduling one on one time with me, or creating an inventive occasion, but don’t know how to get started. If you have an idea, and would like to learn more, please write to my assistant Michael at bhantesassistantmichael@gmail.com
Wishing everyone all my blessings and a happy holiday season.
May you be well, happy, and peaceful.

“The pursuit of happiness” is a common bond that unites us all. Nearly everyone on the planet is actively engaged in finding sustainable happiness.
Still, 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.
In 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.
“Mindfulness in everyday life is easy to learn, simple to practice, and an essential element in creating a happy life.”
Activities in this program will include:
• Lecture: “What Is Happiness?”
• Instruction in the Practice of Mindfulness and Loving-Kindness Meditation

• Healing and enhancing relationships with others.
• Gaining a sense of empowerment over challenging issues in life.

• Confidence in attaining unshakable inner peace.

Healing Your Wounded Heart: A Mindfulness Workshop with Bhante Sujatha

Healing Your Wounded Heart and Learning How to Let Go
Uplift Maui at Hotel Wailea
December 15
6:00 – 8:00 PM
“Working with people for more than 40 years as a monk and a friend, I have come to know we all show up to life with wounds from our past. Childhood, trauma, suffering of all shapes and sizes. We all have wounds on our heart that effect how we feel, think, and how we interact with the larger world. Healing our wounded hearts is the work of this lifetime.”
Allowing our heart to heal means we create the space to authentically feel and acknowledge the truth of suffering and the path to the end of this suffering. By putting in the right effort, we can activate our natural healing systems. Instead of trying to “get over” our pains, we learn to let go of the mental habits that reopen the wounds again and again.
In this 2-hour workshop, Bhante Sujatha will guide us through the process of approaching our wounds with gentleness and grace, and prepare you with the tools to let the healing process inside our hearts begin.
Facing our suffering is not an easy process, but we can come together in love and truth to move forward.
Activities in this program will include:

Lecture: “Healing Your Wounded Heart.”
Instruction in the practice of meditation.
Guided mindfulness and loving-kindness meditation.
Time for Questions & Answers.

Benefits of this beautiful workshop can include:

Reduced stress, anxiety, worry, and depression.
Healing and enhancing relationships with others.
Gaining a sense of empowerment over challenging issues in life.

No More Dharma Candy: A Deeper Look into the Teachings of the Buddha
2025-12-21 11:00 - 12:30 (America/Chicago) | Online Event
Session 1 (Remote): The Four Noble Truths and The Noble Eightfold Path – The Way of Liberation

The Buddha’s first and most complete teaching begins not with belief, but with seeing clearly: that life includes suffering, that this suffering has a cause, that its end is possible, and that there is a path leading there.
This way, the Noble Eightfold Path invites us to live with wisdom, integrity, and mindful awareness. Through right view, intention, speech, action, livelihood, effort, mindfulness, and concentration, we learn to meet life’s challenges with clarity and compassion.
This session explores how these timeless truths can guide us through modern confusion, showing that awakening is not distant or abstract, but a lived experience available in each moment.

Bhante Sujatha's Arizona Dhamma Tour
2025-12-26 08:00 - 2026-01-14 17:00 (America/Chicago) | Arizona, Phoenix, AZ, 85016, United States
Dear Friends,
Every year I am blessed with the chance to visit beautiful Arizona to meet my friends, make new ones, and to share the Dhamma of the Buddha including the teachings of loving-kindness as I have understood them through my life experiences.
I have a busy schedule this year with events planned nearly every day that include new year’s blessings, mindfulness workshops, sounds healing programs, and more.
For all my friends who are planning to meet me, I look forward to seeing you soon and know we will have memorable experiences together. I also want to inspire you to think about introducing the practice and workshops to your friends and families who may have never tried meditation before. Of all the gifts we give to each other, the chance to be together and develop our well-being and mindfulness is potentially life changing and priceless.
If I see you or not, please continue your practice and to take care of yourself. Mindfulness is something that doesn’t require religion or belief, but it does require an open mind, diligent attention, and daily practice. Do these, and you will find that you are the key to your well-being, and that your greatest support is your practice.
Something new! My teams has found that many people are interested in hosting an event, scheduling one on one time with me, or creating an inventive occasion, but don’t know how to get started. If you have an idea, and would like to learn more, please write to my assistant Michael at bhantesassistantmichael@gmail.com
Wishing everyone all my blessings and a happy holiday season.
May you be well, happy, and peaceful.
Bhante Sujatha, The Loving Kindness Monk
