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. As a Buddhist monk, Bhante Sujatha has lived a life dedicated to the cultivation of mind and heart.

Cultivating these qualities will help you to find strength and happiness, as well as nurture in you a burning … Read More
