Journey of Mindfulness - Part 7 | Bhanthe G

#BhanteGunaratana #BhavanaSociety #mettameditation
Join us at the Bhavana Society Center in Highview, West Virginia, for an insightful discussion on mindfulness with the Most Venerable Henepola Gunaratana Mahanayaka Thero. At 96 years old, Ven. Gunaratana Thero shares his profound wisdom and life experiences in mindfulness and clear comprehension. This conversation, featuring Marianna Furyk from Chicago and a native of Ukraine, delves into the teachings of Buddhism and the Thero's remarkable journey. Don't miss this opportunity to learn from one of the most respected figures in Theravada Buddhism.

Join us to explore the answers for following:
1. How can we deal with restlessness, distractions, or a wandering mind during mindfulness meditation? 00:05
2. Can you explain the differences between Vipassana (insight) and Samatha (concentration) meditation? 07:02
3. How do these two forms of meditation complement each other in a mindfulness practice? 12:28

Lastly, but certainly not least, our deepest gratitude goes to Ven. Dr. Saddhajeewa Thero – Vice Abbot of the Bhavana Society, West Virginia. As our mentor, he has played a vital role in coordinating time with Bhante “G,” the 97-year-old world-renowned meditation master and founder of the Bhavana Society.

Ven. Dr. Saddhajeewa Thero has guided us in selecting timely and meaningful topics for discussion and helped shape the format of these annual short Dhamma sessions. His invaluable insights, leadership, and tireless support have ensured the ongoing success of these efforts. More than a leader, he is a true mentor and a source of deep inspiration to many of us.
