SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Sit & Dharma Talk - Rich Howard - Truthfulness: Precept\, Parami\, and Profound
DESCRIPTION:Truthfulness: Precept\, Parami\, and Profound\n\n\n\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Teacher Rich Howard\n\n\n\nFor biographical details about Rich Howard\, click here. \n\n\n\n* The teacher will present in-person at the Dharma Center.\nHybrid events can be attended via Zoom or onsite at the Sacramento Dharma Center\n\n\n\nTruthfulness: Precept\, Parami\, and ProfoundA commitment to speaking the truth brings a sense of trust and safety to our relationships\, and we reinforce this commitment when we take the fourth precept of refraining from harmful speech. Truthfulness (sacca in Pali) is also one of the Paramis\, and it is said that this commitment to speak the truth was never broken by the Buddha on his way to awakening. As the same time\, we are surrounded by a society which seems to thrive on untruthful\, deceptive\, or exaggerated communication. On this evening\, we will look at various aspects of Truth in the Buddhist teachings\, up to the profound Four Noble Truths\, and explore how we can incorporate a commitment to truthfulness in our daily lives. \n\n\n\n\nOffer a Donation \n\n\n\n[give_form id=”10304″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”] \n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin online meeting:  https://us06web.zoom.us/join ( Meeting ID: 874 0623 9886) Passcode: 843332For tips and instructions to join the meeting\, click here to check this news blog.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Sit & Dharma Talk - Rick Maddock - How feelings shape experience: Converging views from neuroscience and early Buddhism
DESCRIPTION:How pleasant and unpleasant feelings (Vedanā) shape experience – Converging views from neuroscience and early Buddhism\n\n\n\n(Hybrid) Sit & Dharma Talk with Visiting Teacher Rick Maddock\n\n\n\n* The teacher will present in-person at the Dharma Center.\nHybrid events can be attended via Zoom or onsite at the Sacramento Dharma Center. \n\n\n\nHow pleasant and unpleasant feelings (Vedanā) shape experience – Converging views from neuroscience and early Buddhism.The five aggregates (skandhas) together encompass all aspects of experience. Vedanā is one of the aggregates and is often defined as the feeling tone of experience ranging along a continuum from pleasant\, through neutral\, to unpleasant. The Buddha attributed great importance to mindfulness and clear comprehension of Vedanā. It is the focus of the second establishment of mindfulness in the Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta. We will discuss the nature of Vedanā and its relationship with the other aggregates using language and perspectives from both early Buddhism and modern neuroscience. \n\n\n\n\n\nOffer a Donation\n\n\n[give_form id=”40088″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”] \n\n\n\n\nRICK MADDOCK\, MD\, is a professor of psychiatry who teaches and conducts neuroscience research at the UC Davis School of Medicine.

SUMMARY:Daylong Retreat - Diane Wilde - Is your meditation “working?”
DESCRIPTION:Is your meditation “working?”\n\n\n\nDaylong Retreat with SIM Community Teacher Diane Wilde (click here for biographical details)\n\n\n\nIs your meditation “working?”For a new practitioner as well as a person who has been meditating for some time\, it’s important to periodically evaluate our meditation practice. Perhaps you have fallen into a practice that has become as “habitual” as many other facets of your life. Or perhaps you have stopped your meditation practice altogether. \n\n\n\nWe will investigate the state of your practice through questions such as: Is this the right practice for me? Is the same practice suitable for everyone? Should I adjust my practice periodically? Has my practice lost its “juice” and how do I get it back? Sometimes a minor adjustment makes all the difference and other times an entirely different approach is needed. We will spend the day investigating our practice as well as taking part in a discussion about what each of us individually need to do to allow insight to arise. \n\n\n\nPlease plan to stay for the entire day and bring a lunch. \n\n\n\nAbout This Hybrid Retreat\n\n\n\n\nThe teacher will present in-person at the Dharma Center. Other participants may attend this Hybrid event via Zoom or in-person at the Sacramento Dharma Center. We encourage everyone to attend in-person since that group experience can be so meaningful.\n\n\n\nPre-registration is required and we recommend you pay the registration fee in advance using the registration ATTEND buttons shown below. Since your registration choice indicates if you’ll be attending via Zoom or in-person\, registering early helps us determine how many people the meditation room should accommodate.\n\n\n\nAfter you’ve registered you may later offer a donation in gratitude of the teacher. To offer teacher dana\, visit https://sactoinsight.org/retreat-dana-online/.\n\n\n\n\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. To make a donation for this event using a credit card or PayPal account\, click here to DONATE ONLINE. \n\n\n\nSummary of Important Dates\n\n\n\n\n06/25/2023 – Registration opens.\n\n\n\n07/29/2023 – Attend and enjoy the wonderful retreat.\n\n\n\n07/03/2023 – Online registration closes the Monday after the retreat at 11:00 am PST.\n\n\n\n\nRegistration Options\n\n\n\nSelect one of the following registration “ATTEND” buttons to indicate if you’ll be attending via Zoom or in-person.
