Bhante Sanāthāvihārī is a Mexican-American Theravāda monk at the Sarathchandra Buddhist Center in North Hollywood, a Sri Lankan center. He is a student of the late Dr. Bhante Madawela Puññaji, and the founder of Casa De Bhavana–an outreach project to bring the Dhamma to the Spanish-speaking world. He is also the co-author of Buddhism in 10 Steps.
Bhante and Vincent talk about personal expression and creativity while keeping the Vinaya, serving in the Air Force and co-founding a Buddhist sangha while on base in Afghanistan, and balancing pre-sectarian and non-sectarian Buddhist teachings.

Deep Listening is a contemplative practice of being fully present with another person without judgment, reaction, or the need to fix or solve their experience. Rather than giving advice or telling you what you should do, I listen. Through presence, receiving, resonance, insight, and compassionate response, the session allows you to explore your own thoughts, feelings, questions, and experiences at your own pace. You may speak freely, engage in dialogue, sit together in silence, or practice meditation together.
