Dhamma Talk - Loving Kindness by Bhante Dr. Saranapala [Guest Sangha Speaker from Canada]

Known as the "Urban Buddhist Monk", an appropriate nomenclature for a Buddhist Monk for modern times, Bhante Saranapala has been acclaimed as a consummate teacher of meditation by a growing number of seekers of spiritual and healthy life and peace of mind in North America and Europe who admire his simple and all-embracing approach in transmitting the universal message of love, kindness, compassion, understanding and wisdom. He has earned an enviable reputation as a global public speaker and a meditation master par excellence. Born in Chittagong, Bangladesh, Bhante Saranapala, after receiving both his monastic and secular education in Sri Lanka, made his way to Canada to further his studies (did his undergrad and grad studies at the University of Toronto and McMaster University) and soon addressed his mind to the noble task of spreading in the West his own tested approach to Mindfulness and Insight Meditation. Settling down in the City of Mississauga-Toronto West, he has been a monk in residence at the monastic fraternity of the West End Buddhist Temple and (Monastery) Meditation Centre for the past 23 years. This Dhamma Talk was delivered on 24th March 2019 at the Tathagata Hall / Dhamma Hall at Ti-Ratana Lumbini Garden. Ti-Ratana Lumbini Garden is a premier Buddhist Community Centre in the heart of Bandar Puteri, Puchong, Selangor, Malaysia. Videography by Rain Lee.
