Anne Blanchard will interview Bhante Wimala for our Awakening Together Guest Satsang on February 16, 2020 at 7:30 pm ET/5:30 pm MT.
Venerable Bhante Y. Wimala has been a Buddhist monk for 47 years, known throughout the world as a compassionate spiritual teacher and tireless humanitarian, with projects and teaching programs all over the world.
Unlike most monks who wander in their homelands or live ascetically in monasteries, Bhante has been called to spend his life traveling around the world to teach and to heal and to bring peace to the people of our planet. He has forged friendships across the globe and has been involved in numerous projects involving restoring entire villages in Sri Lanka ravaged by the tsunami and war, earthquake relief in Haiti and Nepal, and cyclone relief in Bangladesh. He personally oversees countless projects across the globe, especially in Africa and Asia, to restore eyesight, bring medical supplies and wheelchairs where there were none, educate youth, build orphanages and hospitals, bring water to villages high in the mountains of Nepal which were cut off after the earthquake, create job training for women, homes for the homeless and bring hope to prisoners and suffering individuals around the world.

Weekly Gathering with Rev. Meg Reinhart
Title: “There Are No Stages or Degrees of Realization, Only Stages of Spiritual Practices.”
Description: Rev. Meg Reinhart talked about observing the various states of mind the spiritual seeker sees through during purification and awakening while remaining focused on abiding in the no-mind Self.
Reading: Kate Brennan read a passage from “No Mind – I am the Self” in a section called “Sadhana”. “No Mind – I am The Self” is the life and teachings of Ramana Maharshi’s direct disciple, Sri Lakshamana Swamy and his adopted daughter and successor, Sri Mathru Sarada, who both realized Self, without the return of the dualistic thinking system.

This class begins on March 3. It is 4 weeks long. Registration deadline is February 23. About this class:
“When I met my Guru, he told me: ‘You are not what you take yourself to be. Find out what you are. Watch the sense I am, find your real Self.’ I obeyed him, because I trusted him. I did as he told me. …
I simply followed (my teacher’s) instruction which was to focus the mind on pure being I am, and stay in it. I used to sit for hours together, with nothing but the I am in my mind and soon peace and joy and a deep all-embracing love became my normal state.
In it all disappeared — myself, my Guru, the life I lived, the world around me. Only peace remained and unfathomable silence.” ~ Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Join us as we contemplate the extremely profound teachings of a great sage, a cigarette salesman, who trusted his guru completely and awakened to become one of the most perspicacious teachers of our time.

Regina Dawn Akers reads the conversation dated January 14, 1981 from Consciousness and the Absolute.
Rev. Shawna Summers interviewed Laura Bedford. Laura is an inspiration living as a Peace Pilgrim in a way the world might think of as crazy. In 2015, Laura walked coast to coast to raise awareness that Inner Peace is our True Divine Christ Nature. Every lack of Inner Peace flows from not knowing our True Self.
Laura had her first mystical experience in childhood that helped raise questions in her mind. Since 1992 she has been involved with learning and practices for enlightening to our True, Divine Christ Nature. She makes no claim to enlightenment, saying she has simply been given (mystical) windows that confirm to her the existence of God. Join us to discover more about her unique journey!
