Homestay Mini Retreat with Bhante Sujatha on ZOOM! "Put Your Practice Into Practice
2023-07-16 10:00 - 12:00 (America/Chicago) | Online Event
“Put Your Practice Into Practice”
The Buddha taught: “Not by wearing matted hair, nor by lineage, nor by caste, does one become a brahmana; only he who realizes the Truth and the Dhamma is pure.” In this profound teaching the Buddha explains that our practice does not evolve by altering appearance or karmic inheritance alone; in order to truly grow, we have to apply what we learn, and allow our internal shifting to reflect into our speech and actions.
In this 2-hour workshop, Bhante Sujatha invites us to reflect on our inner and outer lives, instructs in how to establish and preserve your meditation practice, and take the practice from off the “cushion” and into our daily lives.
Activities in this program will include:
Lecture: “Put Your Practice Into Practice.”
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.
Insights into life’s purpose.
Awakening to the blessings of the present moment.
Confidence in attaining unshakable inner peace.
COST: $25
https://www.eventbrite.com/…/homestay-mini-retreat-with…

In this 10 – Day retreat you will find all that you need to nourish the journey within, and access those benefits in the beautiful setting of Sri Lanka.
