THE CONDITIONS THAT NURTURE & SUSTAIN COMMUNITY AND INDIVIDUAL PRACTICE – CONTEMPORARY MEDITATION COMMUNITIES AND THE SACRAMENTO INSIGHT MEDITATION MODEL

Please review the two following Sutta’s: Dispute & Cordiality

The community of practitioners that surrounded the historical Buddha were introduced to the teachings, methods and psychology through a consciously created organizational structure and well thought out components.

Western Buddhist meditation centers have begun to create a new model combining traditional structures and components with new elements designed to make practice more welcoming and relevant to Western practitioners.

This evening with SIM’s founding teacher Dennis Warren will examine this fascinating development in Buddhist history and development. He will focus specifically on the structure and components of the Sacramento Insight Meditation model as offering the potential for a combining practice and community into a nourishing, dynamic, unified whole.

Dennis’ presentation on this evening with be the second of two addressing the foundations of community and practice from a Buddhist perspective; what makes them work; and what conditions cause both community and practice to weaken and deteriorate.
