Vesak Special Ep 06 – “Anussati, The Other Mindfulness” with Bhante Shravasti Dhammika | Vibe with Venerables
About this event
Welcome to Episode 06 of the Vibe with Venerable series, where we talk “live” to Buddhist masters together.
Registration is required, here: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/Gb83Tnz_Ssym1lr1PIn1jA#/registration
Mindfulness meditation has become extremely popular of late, to the extent of overshadowing other meditations the Buddha taught. In his talk, Bhante will explore a less well known mindfulness practice called anussati in which memory, self-examination, one’s relationships and potential are evoked to enrich one’s spiritual journey.
ABOUT THE TEACHER
Bhante Shravasti Dhammika was born in Australia in 1951 and became a Buddhist at the age of 18. In 1973 he went to Thailand with the intention of becoming a monk and from there to Laos, Burma and finally to India. For the next three years, he traveled around India learning yoga and meditation and finally ordained under Venerable Matiwella Sangharatna, the last disciple of Anagarika Dharmapala. In 1976 he went to Sri Lanka where he studied Pali at Sri Lanka Vidyalaya and later became one of the co-founders of the Nilambe Meditation Centre and one of its teachers. Since then, he has spent most of his time in Sri Lanka and Singapore and represented Theravada Buddhism at the European Buddhist Millennium Conference in Berlin in 2000. Bhante Dhammika written over 25 books and scores of articles on Buddhism and related subjects, and his recent book, Footprints in the Dust, has received much comment for its unique approach to the life of the Buddha.
