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. Bhante teaches loving-kindness meditation to people around the globe for all those seeking the art of happiness and contentment. His approach to meditation is deep and simple\, bringing core Buddhist teachings to everyone in a way that is practical and easy to understand. A joyful\, radiant\, funny and wildly energetic monk\, Bhante will help you obtain peace that can only be found in deep silence. He is originally from Sri Lanka and is the head monk / abbot of the Blue Lotus Buddhist Temple and Meditation Center in Woodstock\, IL.\nBhante believes his purpose is not only to teach meditation\, but also\, “teaching people how to be happy.\n\n*Please contact us directly at sozohealinghouse@gmail.com to pay via Zelle with no transaction fee.
