Vesak Day (Day of Awakening)
June 6th Sunday, 2010
Dhamma Talk by
Venerable Madawela Punnaji
Topic: What is awakening?
Time: 3.00pm - 4.30pm
Location: Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Mankato
937 Charles Avenue
Mankato, MN 56001
Topic: Bhante Punnaji will give a talk on “Steps in to Awakening”. He will talk about how one can attain awakening in eight steps according to Buddha. He will mostly focus on “Jhana” in his talk.
Vesak Day: May Full moon day is the most special and spiritual day for all Buddhists and for those who practice the Dhamma. It is the time for us to get together and practice and cultivate the spiritual qualities such as loving kindness, generosity, the purification of the mind and wisdom.
Venerable Mahathera Punnaji: has come to the West to introduce his discoveries to intelligent readers who have an open mind free from prejudice. He is a Researcher of the original teachings of the Buddha, and has served in North America as a Teacher of Buddhism and a Meditation Master, for nearly 30 years. He is well known for his clear and accurate presentation of Buddhism and has grateful students the world over.
He has spent more than fifty years making an in-depth intensive study of both the theory as well as the practice of Buddhism. He studied various schools of Buddhist thought including what modern scholars consider to be the earliest source of the teachings of the Buddha, the Pali Nikaya.
Venerable Punnaji is well-versed in Western fields of scientific knowledge, including medicine, and has a thorough understanding of comparative religions, philosophy and psychology. His interpretations of the original teachings of the Buddha have been much enriched by these forays beyond a mere study and practice of Buddhism.
He has played a significant role in the dissemination of Buddhism in the West and is well known to Buddhists in Canada, U.S., and abroad. Sought by many as a resourceful spiritual guide, Ven. Punnaji shares his time between the Buddhist centers in Canada, the U.S., Sri Lanka and other countries. He is currently residing at the Sarathchandra Meditation Centre, North Hollywood, California, USA.
We invite you all to join the celebration of the Birth, the Awakening and Passing away of the Buddha, and to experience the spirit of "Vesak" on Sunday June the 6th at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Mankato from 3.00 PM.
Event Support: We believe these teachings are extremely valuable, thus assigning a value to these teachings is an impossible task. Therefore, this talk is offered freely in the spirit of generosity. Yet, there are many opportunities open to practice your generosity by making a donation to Triple Gem Of The North, to support the teacher and towards the costs of the event (such as accommodation, traveling expenses for the teacher).
It is an ancient Buddhist tradition for the community to joyfully support/nourish/feed people, Monks, and who ever engages in intensive spiritual practice, thereby practicing in their good effort. Therefore, we present you with the opportunity to practice your good effort, by sponsoring a meal/s for Monks and participants during future activities organized by the Triple Gem of The North.
Monetary donations can be presented in-person at Monks Residence, by mail, or via internet. Please send your donations by mail to: PO box 323, St Peter, MN, 56082. Please make checks payable to Triple Gem Of The North.
