His area of interest is bringing meditative awareness into everyday life. He participated in SIM’s 2007 India Pilgrimage and is a graduate of SIM’s second Practice Development and Leadership (PDL) program. He served on the Board from 2010 until 2015\, the last two years as president.

Rich completed online courses with Steve on the Abhidhamma (the Buddhist psychology) and the Manual of Insight.

His interest in the environment led him to the One Small Planet training with Kerry Nelson and the Ecosattva training with One Earth Sangha. In 2018\, he completed a 10-month Dhamma Awareness Training with Steve Armstrong and Kamala Masters called Touching the Earth. In 2019\, he completed Meg Gawler’s 8-month course Preparing the Ground for Samadhi. \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.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Sit & Dharma Talk - Rich Howard - Beginnings and Endings
DESCRIPTION:Beginnings and Endings\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Teacher Rich Howard \n* Hybrid events can be attended via Zoom or in-person at the Sacramento Dharma Center. The teacher will present on location.\nJoin online meeting: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/89485691687\nPasscode: 114183\nJoin by phone: 1-669-900-6833 ( Meeting ID:  894 8569 1687 )\nFor tips and instructions to join the meeting\, check this news blog. \nThursday Night Talk Dana\n[give_form id=”10304″ 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 Rich Howard. \nTopic details: \nWhile the end of a calendar year is somewhat arbitrary\, it offers us a chance to look back on the previous year and to look forward to the year to come. In terms of practice\, we can think of these activities as Wise Reflection and Wise Intention. For this evening\, we will be using a beginning – the first section of the Dhammapada\, which Jack Kornfield calls “the most beloved of all Buddhist texts\, both poetic and profound.” Titled “Dichotomies” in Gil Fronsdal’s translation (Shambhala\, 2008)\, this text contains reminders of the power of our thoughts and actions\, and discernment in choosing a path of happiness and away from quarrels. \nThe placement of a text at the beginning of a collection was not arbitrary when the Pali Canon was assembled – important texts like this one were intentionally placed first. We will take a slow tour through this poem and see what it offers for our year-end reflection and intention. Feel free to have your own copy of the Dhammapada at hand; it is often fruitful to see how different translators approach a text.
