Aim: Please help us continue the Kindness Code meditation program, which serves more than 3000 practitioners in Sri Lanka and abroad.
I am Harsha Liyanage. Kindness Code is my personal mission to share the experiences of meditation practice over 25 years, drawing from East and West. Since 2019 August, I have dedicated myself to this mission, promoting loving-kindness (i.e., metta), meditation, and mindfulness. 'The Kindness Code' - a book published on Amazon.com was my first project illustrating the concept.
I have learned meditation practices from my guru, a monk who lived a monastic life in a thick forest in Sri Lanka. Since his demise in 2007, I started exploring other masters both in the West and East. During the last two years, my meditation benefited from the advanced lessons taken from Maitreya Bodhisatva, with the communication assistance of the late Priyantha Senanayake, through the Hela Suwaya.
As of today, there is a group of volunteers supporting expanding this mission.
We care about the passion of Sri Lankan Buddhists to improve their meditation. Through the use of innovative technology, we introduced new methods for learning and practising Buddhist meditation and mindfulness.
We are trying to expand this program to children, young adults and parents living in Sri Lanka and beyond (such as Canada, the UK, the USA, Australia and Italy).
In this post-covid world, the Buddhist way of living is now more meaningful than ever. We introduced simple ways to be kind. Experience a guided meditation through Zoom and a YouTube video to ignite your metta (loving-kindness). And empower yourself by advancing day by day towards Vipassana (advanced meditation practices). Additionally, we introduced home-based retreats (incorporating carefully crafted elements of a silent retreat in a monastery inside a thick forest in Sri Lanka).
You can train yourself to live a conscious life (Jeevithayma Bhavanavak Karaganna) through Bhavana Masterclass by using ZOOM & YouTube, at your own pace, on your own schedule, completely independently.
Just within the last 12 months, we have been able to serve over 10,000 people through our Zoom Masterclasses. We have surpassed 200,000 views on YouTube of over 300 videos uploaded weekly. Currently, over 2000 meditation practitioners are guided by 33 WhatsApp groups. Meditation retreats at home are becoming more popular.
Now, Sri Lankans living in the US, the UK, Italy, the Middle East and Australia are participating. Through active participation in Buddhist practices, we can make Sri Lankans around the world feel more homely.
We introduce simple ways to practice Buddhism every day. And then advance it daily through smart, innovative technology and a caring online community.
