"Finding Happiness and Contentment in the Western World
With Buddhist Monk Bhante Sujatha
With Buddhist Monk Bhante Sujatha
Join us in Johnsburg on Tuesday October 22nd at 7pm as Bhante Sujatha, Buddhist Monk from Blue Lotus Temple in Woodstock, leads us in conversation and mediation .
“The pursuit of happiness” is a common bond that unites so many of us regardless of our economic or social position, regardless of what we’ve acquired along the way, nearly everyone on the planet is actively engaged in finding sustainable happiness. It’s this mysterious wind that seems to come in, fill us with joy, then leave as unpredictable as it arrived. We search for ways to capture it— to keep it around and within us long term, but inevitably it escapes and we find ourselves searching again. We can’t buy it, we can’t build it— but we can cultivate a simple mindfulness practice that leads to sustainable happiness that will permeate every aspect of our lives. Practicing Meditation helps us to learn how to live with a deeper awareness, bringing peace, clarity and happiness in our lives. Mindfulness in everyday life is easy to learn, simple to practice and an essential element in creating a happy life”
