For the past fifteen years, Bhante Sujatha has been spearheading this project to help support the premature babies and expecting mothers in Sri Lanka. This year marked his 21st incubator donation to the Peradeniya General Hospital, with the help of Dr. Ranaraja, a gynecologist of the hospital. This year we invited 300 expectant mothers to Bhante’s home temple, Subodharamaya, with his master Wattegama Dhammawasa Nayaka Thero in Peradeniya, Sri Lanka. These women were provided with baskets full of basic needs for infant care, and umbrellas; in addition, the temple sought out to teach them loving kindness meditation to help through the delivery and care of their new baby. We must always remember: “It takes a village to raise a child.” Thanks to all my students and followers from America, Australia, Europe, Malaysia, Dubai, and Sri Lanka.
