New Year Meditation and Dharma Talk with Bhante Sujatha Awakening in the Midst of Life – A Meditation for Inner Recognition Friday, January 13th, 2023, 3:00 pm - 4:30 PM Dana: $40 **Dāna (pronounced “daa-nuh”) is a Pāli word that means giving, especially to charity and in support to teachers. Life doesn’t take a time out for us, even when we feel like we need it. But we have the power to take our mind out of life, and can use this ability to observe it clearly. This is the way we bring our practice off of the cushion and into the midst of life. By learning to keep our mind open and aware throughout the day, we discover the true application of mindfulness practice. In this workshop, Bhante Sujatha will guide you through techniques that help to dissolve the lines between the “beginning” and “ending” of a meditation practice, and discover that mindfulness is an ongoing process that becomes a companion in life. You will learn how to measure our responses, become more adaptive, reduce conflict, and manage emotions. This session is suitable for both new and seasoned practitioners, and will include. • An Introduction – Awakening in the Midst of Life • A Guided Mediation • Group Discussion: Time for questions and answers Proceeds go towards Bhante’s “Supporting Pregnant Women Project” in Sri Lanka. In addition, Bhante will be available to sign his books after the workshop, and his Choose Loving Kindness products will also be available for purchase. Remaining in the present moment keeps us open to new knowledge and experiences that we can gain from fully, and respond to appropriately. Join Bhante Sujatha in this workshop to learn understand that in both good times and bad, we always have the choice to step back and see what is happening.
