SUMMARY:New Year's Blessing Program at Wailea Healing Center
DESCRIPTION:Healing Meditation and New Year Blessings with Bhante Sujatha \n\nThe new year is a time for healing\, setting intentions\, letting go of what is no longer serving us\, and clearing the way for unconditional love from ourselves and others. \n\nJoin Bhante Sujatha\, The Loving-Kindness monk\, this new year season for an unforgettable blessing experience to initiate your new year with commitment and determination. \n\nA blessing ceremony is a mindful intention to contact and share that which is good\, particularly in a divine sense. Our practice will include connecting with the force of goodness inside each of us and then inviting this ‘energy’ into a particular situation to help the whole world. \n\nThis program begins with a brief\, inspiring talk by Bhante Sujatha on the benefits of creating\, refreshing\, and establishing a sturdy meditation practice in our lives in order to support the goals we set to be our best self\, followed by a guided meditation. \n\nBhante will then chant the Ratana Sutra\, a 2\,600-year-old Buddhist chant describing a wish for world-wide good health\, healing\, and blessings. \n\nFinally\, the group will join together in an ancient and symbolic act of cleansing by bathing the Buddha; pouring scented\, blessed water over a Buddha statue while making intentions for our lives and the world. \n\nThe Buddha image embodies the enlightened presence of the qualities of a Buddha. This ritual comes in different forms in each country that it is practiced in\, but they are all lines drawn from a single sacred story. It is a story that brings sentient beings together in a joyful celebration of a promise. That promise is nothing less than the end of suffering and ignorance. \n\nJoin Bhante Sujatha and joyful friends as we come together as a spiritual community to experience the healing power of unconditional love and to receive well-wishes as you practice nobility and peace in this life. \n\nYou are encouraged to bring your malas\, or any other items that you wish to be blessed in this ceremony. \n\n$30 per person \n\n\nProceeds go to Bhante’s pregnant mothers and Incubator Project in Sri Lanka\nBook signing and “Choose Loving Kindness” items will be available for purchase\n\n\nAbout Bhante: \nBhante Sujatha\, a 40+ 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.
