SUMMARY:How to Empower Your Mind: A Guided Meditation and Mindfulness Workshop
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 clearly understand how they are influenced\, the root causes of struggle and what we can do with our minds to make things better are revealed. The result is sustainable happiness and radiant joy. \nMy life as a Buddhist monk has given me a front row seat to the incredible transformations that have developed within so many people as I teach them how to empower their minds. Cultivating these qualities will help you too find strength and happiness\, as well as nurture in 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. \nPlease join me at the beautiful estate of my good friend\, Linda Benton\, who has generously offered to host this event in order to support me and my charitable work adding more love to the world. \nBenefits of this workshop include: \n• Reduced stress\, anxiety\, worry and depression \n• Healing and enhancing relationships with others \n• Gaining a sense of empowerment over challenging issues in your life \n• Insights into your life purpose \n• Awakening to the blessings of the present moment \n• Working towards an unshakable inner peace \nFee $30 \n• Advanced registration required. \n• Proceeds help support Bhante’s “Pregnant Mother’s Program” and Incubator Project in Sri Lanka. \n• Choose Loving-Kindness Items and Bhante’s publications will be available for purchase on site\, and Bhante will be able to for book signing following the program. \nTo Join this event click: HERE

SUMMARY:Practical Sutra Study Online with Bhante Sujatha
DESCRIPTION:“Buddha vacana” (the Buddha’s words) are lifestyles. \nI 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. \nStudying 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. \nAs I understand at this time in my practice\, there are two Dharmas: \n1. Head Dharma \n2. Heart Dharma \nI 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. \nTaking into consideration requests from students across the nation 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. \nI hope that you can join\, and come together with noble friends to deepen our practice together. \nWANT TO PARTICIPATE BUT CAN’T JOIN?\nNOT TO WORRY!\nA RECORDING OF THE EVENT IS SENT TO ALL REGISTERED GUESTS! \nTo register for this event\, please click: HERE
