Diane Wilde. \nTopic details: \nAccording to Bhikkhu Analayo\, early Buddhist teachings suggest that “equanimity” as a practice\, is not monolithic. In fact\, in the earliest teachings\, there are three types of equanimity\, and one of them (as defined in a particular instance) should NOT be developed but abandoned. This may be surprising as equanimity is often referred to as the “crown jewel” of Buddhist practice. The person who develops equanimity (as it is normally defined) is said to be in balance\, not clinging to greed or aversion\, and sees clearly. It is viewed as a necessary mental state for anyone who wishes to abandon suffering. A recent research paper by Bhikkhu Analayo suggests that equanimity is much more nuanced than most of us have realized. We will discuss the various modes of equanimity and how they relate to our practice in today’s world.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Sit & Dharma Talk - Dennis Warren - Establishing Mindfulness
DESCRIPTION:The Historical Buddha’s Guidance on Establishing Mindfulness In Meditation\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Founding Teacher Dennis Warren \n* Hybrid events can be attended via Zoom or in-person at the Sacramento Dharma Center.\nJoin online meeting: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/85067961606\nPasscode: 970006\nJoin by phone: 1-669-900-6833 ( Meeting ID: 850 6796 1606 )\nFor tips and instructions on how to participate\, check this news blog. \nThursday Night Talk Dana\n[give_form id=”10310″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”] “Generosity is the virtue that leads to peace.” – The Historical Buddha\nFor remote meetings\, please use the form above to donate by credit card or your PayPal account. Enter the amount you’d like to give and 75% of your donation will be shared with Dennis Warren. \nTopic details:\nThe Historical Buddha’s formula for being skillful in meditation starts with “establishing Mindfulness” as a foundational element. This guidance points to the fact that the kind of Mindfulness needed in meditation does not just happen or appear by itself. It is something that needs to be intentionally established\, monitored and sustained every time we meditate in order for our meditation practices to be skillful.\nDuring this evening we’ll take a hands-on-look at: What does it mean to “establish Mindfulness” in our meditation practices? What does one do to establish Mindfulness? How do we know if it has been established? If established\, how is it sustained?\nThese are basic\, practical\, experiential questions that provide a framework for helping us evaluate the soundness and quality of our meditation practice.
