SHANGRILA MEDITATION by the VEN. BHIKKHU SANGHASENAJI

Venerable Bhikkhu Sanghasena was born in the Himalayan region of Ladakh, India. At the age of seventeen he joined the Indian Army, where he developed a strong sense of personal discipline and responsibility. 1977 was a particularly significant year in his life, for this is when he felt the inner spiritual call and decided to leave the army.

He left the mountains of Ladakh far behind him and became a committed disciple of the renowned Buddhist scholar and celebrated monk, Venerable Acharya Buddharakkhita Mahathera at the abbot of the Mahabodhi Society Vihara, Bangalore. Having received full ordination, Ven. Sanghasena undertook enthusiastic studies of the Dhamma and also practiced various methods of Buddhist meditations. In 1986, Venerable Bhikkhu Sanghasena founded the Mahabodhi International Meditation Centre (MIMC) in Ladakh. Since then, he has worked tirelessly and selflessly.

A special Dhamma talk and Shangrila Meditation camp by Bhikkhu Sanghasena was held at the Indian Merchant Chambers, Mumbai organized by the Ratna Nidhi Charitable Trust and the Rotary District 3141. A large number of over 150 people from all walks of life joined the session. The participants enjoyed the simple, practical but very effective teachings of meditation by Bhikkhu Sanghasena. In his talk, he reminded everyone about the very precious human life and urged everyone to make use of it in the service of others before we are burnt or buried.

After the talk, a beautiful Shangrila Meditation was led by Ven. Bhikkhu Sanghasena. The audience immersed themselves in the meditation session and realized the immeasurable inner benefits through the powerful experience of Shangrila Meditation with Guruji. Ms. Jigmat Spaldon, a member of the MIMC Shangrila group, who accompanied Bhikkhu Sanghasena presented some beautiful celestial songs and mantras.
