Description

For more than 20 years, Bhante Sujatha has been focusing his energy toward the support of pregnant mothers. Originally inspired to undertake this service in honor of his teacher, Bhante Sujatha has expanded this project which began with baby hats and small parcels of goods into an annual, day-long event for 300 pregnant women! These events include physician-led education sessions on nurturing a newborn, guided loving-kindness meditation practice, and gift baskets full of vital necessities for newborns provided to all the expecting mothers in attendace. In addition to the annual program, Bhante has raised funds over the years for the donation of more than 15 incubators, baby warmers, and even an ultrasound scanner to general hospitals around Sri Lanka! In this workshop Bhante Sujatha will introduce the practice of loving-kindness and guide a brief meditation through this simple to learn, but difficult to master, technique. When we practice loving-kindness we are giving a unique and powerful gift to the whole world… It's through our self-love that we love the whole world. When practiced with sincerity and commitment, this mediation can alter your brain and change the way you see the whole world. When you change the way you see the world, the world changes. Join Bhante Sujatha at the home of Kerry Burki for this special program to nurture your own heart, and help to warm the hearts of mothers and their babies on the other side of the world. - Suggested Donation $40 - Advance registration is appreciated.
