What if the peace you’re seeking isn’t out there?
What if it’s been with you all along—like a toolbox you forgot you were sitting on?
This month at ZenLife, we’re reading Sitting on the Toolbox by Bhante Sujatha—a story-filled, heart-softening guide to waking up with more compassion and less striving.
The book isn’t something you power through. It’s something you sit with. Each short chapter is a gentle reminder that healing doesn’t always look dramatic. Often, it’s in the quiet moments. The breath you finally take. The thought you finally question. The love you finally offer yourself.
Bhante Sujatha—an ordained Buddhist monk and founder of the Blue Lotus Meditation Center—teaches loving-kindness like a practice, not a performance. Through relatable stories and a touch of humor, Sitting on the Toolbox helps us remember what it means to be fully human… and to show up for life with an open heart.
As one reviewer put it: “Turn to any page and you’ll find a relevant question, a real-life example, or a mindful Buddhist practice that could change your life.” We felt that too.
What we love most? The teachings don’t feel out of reach. Sitting on the Toolbox by Bhante Sujatha makes ancient wisdom feel like home. It reminds us that we don’t need to be fixed—we need to be seen, softened, and reminded of what’s already here.
Whether you’re new to meditation or simply looking for a spiritual refresh, this book meets you exactly where you are. It’s a perfect complement to the healing work we do at ZenLife Center for Healing—slow, soulful, and deeply personal.
Want to read along with us? You can find Sitting on the Toolbox by Bhante Sujatha on Amazon. We’ll be sharing favorite quotes, reflections, and stories throughout the month—in the studio and on social.
Until then, take a deep breath.
Sit still for a moment.
And remember… you might already be sitting on exactly what you need.
