Bhante Gunaratana hospitalized

Post by cooran »

Good friends all,
An e-mail I received:

Bhante Gunaratana hospitalized

Our prayers are with Bhante Gunaratana
(Mindfulness in Plain English) as he undergoes heart surgery
today. We will continue to post updates on his recovery via our
facebook page as we receive them. We hope you will join us in sending
him prayers and good wishes for a safe and speedy recovery.

The Bhavana Society's August 26
event at American University has been cancelled. The Triple Event
celebration will still take place on October 6 and 7 at the Bhavana
Society in West Virginia.

If you believe in meditation/prayer, please do so for my good friend
Bhante Gunaratana. He always treated me better than I deserved.
peace...

yours in the Dhamma-vinaya,
Chuck

May he be well and free from disease.
May he share in my merits.
“No lists of things to be done. The day providential to itself. The hour. There is no later. This is later. All things of grace and beauty such that one holds them to one's heart have a common provenance in pain. Their birth in grief and ashes.”
- Cormac McCarthy, The Road

Learn this from the waters:
in mountain clefts and chasms,
loud gush the streamlets,
but great rivers flow silently.

Liberation is the inevitable fruit of the path and is bound to blossom forth when there is steady and persistent practice. The only requirements for reaching the final goal are two: to start and to continue. If these requirements are met there is no doubt the goal will be attained. This is the Dhamma, the undeviating law.
