MESSAGE FROM BHANTE SUJATHA
Bhante Sujatha’s incubator project
“A baby fills my heart with the purest joy I’ve ever felt. When I hold a new baby I can’t help but feel my mother’s deep love for me, the same love of all the mothers. Because I am a monk, I have not had my own child so instead I have made all the children of the world my children. When I think of a baby coming into this world without a mothers love, it breaks my heart. The womb of a mother is perhaps the most holy place on earth. I was traveling in Sri Lanka and was in a hospital with a baby incubator and I realized that an incubator is just like a mothers womb and thru this miraculous technology babies could be nurtured and safe and loved and not be deprived just because their biological mother was not able to care for them in this way. Soon after, I realized how many babies were dying because of how rare an incubator is in this needy country. So many lives could be saved with this incredible tool and so much love could be added to the world. Just pause a moment and consider how many lives just one incubator will save…. And then multiple that by how much love each of those babies will bring to the world. For me, when I think of it this way, I absolutely must help because it fulfills my ultimate mission perfectly: Adding more love to the world. Each summer I travel to Sri Lanka to participate in humanitarian efforts leading to my goal. I have created the Maternity Ward Incubator Project 10 years ago and we have now delivered 10 incubators to maternity wards at hospitals that have never had equipment like this. All donations go directly to the incubator’s cost and your generosity will ensure that these babies feel a mothers love just like if they were in the womb. Please help add more love to the world by helping in any way you can. How wonderful!”
As you all know, I do my best to always follow my heart. When I do, things always work out for me. I’ve made it my life’s work to help you do the same.
My heart continues to guide me to be in service to the world wherever I can, to add more love and help people in every way possible.
I believe Mothers are of the utmost importance to our future—- they will “deliver” our future leaders, caregivers, monks and the next Buddha.
My wish is to continue my Charitable Hospital Project in Sri Lanka when I return on my annual 2017 trip.
The Maternity Ward in Sri Lanka is critically low on necessary supplies and are in desperate need for another incubator and other supplies at a cost of more than $15,000. I want to bring this to them when I arrive. It is of utmost importance to me that mothersand their babies have the most love and nurturing care possible and when I think about this life saving resource, I can’t imagine a better way to help.

Please Support me in fulfilling my wish of helping future mothers and babies. Together we will add more love in the world, one baby at a time.
May you be well happy and peaceful
Bhante Sujatha
