SUMMARY:Daylong Retreat - Diane Wilde - The Five Daily Recollections
DESCRIPTION:The Five Daily Recollections\nA One Day Retreat– with SIM’s Community Teacher Rev. Diane Wilde\nThe Buddha advised his followers to reflect on five topics daily: aging\, sickness\, death\, separation form those we love\, and our own karma. The surprising result from this practice is paradoxical… spending more time with these concepts\, rather than continually creating diversions to avoid “thinking about something unpleasant”\, causes us to live with more ease and equanimity. Neurologically\, with avoidance we pay the price. Resistance causes greater and greater anxiety and tension… often culminating in painful physical and mental manifestations. We will investigate any resistance we might have to one — or all of these five recollections — and how to use these reflections as a benefit for our daily mindfulness and meditation practice. \nIf the weather is nice\, we may spend some time outside. Bring a blanket to sit on\, or a folding chair. Please bring your lunch. \n\nRetreat Flyer (.pdf)\n\nDIANE WILDE has studied meditation in various traditions since 1990. In 2001 she was a founding member of Sacramento Insight Meditation. She founded Buddhist Pathways Prison Project (BP3) in 2010. Since 2003\, she has been a BP3 prison chaplain and aids in coordination of 75 volunteers who offer Buddhist services at numerous California prisons and jails. She is a graduate of Sati Center’s Buddhist Chaplaincy program and graduated from Spirit Rock Meditation Center’s Community Dharma Leadership Training Program. She is a board member of Sati Center for Buddhist Studies\, Sacramento Dharma Center\, Buddhist Pathways Prison Project and California Dept. of Corrections Volunteer Advisory Board. In 2015 she was lay-ordained as a Buddhist minister by her teacher Gil Fronsdal. \nSacramento Insight Meditation events are sustained by the generosity of instructors in offering teachings freely and on the generosity of students and members of the meditative community in the form of financial support\, service and participation in events. With our practice of dana\, we support our Sangha. If you prefer to make a donation for this event online using a credit card or PayPal account\, click here to DONATE ONLINE. \nSummary of Important Dates\n\n02/27/2019 – Registration opens.\n04/26/2019 – Registration via this website will close at 8:00 pm.\n04/27/2019 – Attend and enjoy the wonderful retreat.\n\nRegistration Details\nRegistration is $15.00 per person due before the start of the event.
