SUMMARY:Sit & Dharma Talk with Founding Teacher\, Dennis Warren
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, December 3\, 7:00-9:15 pm. Sitting and Dharma Talk\, with Dennis Warren\, SIM Founding Teacher.\nLOSS – SEEING IT COMING\, LIVING IT\, REORGANIZING AFTERWARDS  – WITH SIM’S FOUNDING TEACHER DENNIS WARREN   \nLoss brings us up against the limitations in understanding how the Dharma and practice apply to this painful aspect of being human. Loss not only helps\, but forces us\, to recognize where our understanding is conceptual or intellectual\, rather than one that informs real life challenges. \nHow we respond to the losses in our individual lives\, and losses in the lives of others\, influences everything –  how we experience the loss; how those around us experience the loss; how we reorganize our emotional\, psychological and dharmic lives after the outward manifestations of the loss have taken place. Loss\, and the way we work with it\, change who we are. \nThis evening with SIM’s Founding Teacher\, Dennis Warren\, will examine this phenomenon that is one of the most common roots of difficult emotions and crisis. We’ll explore how loss fits into the framework of Buddhist psychology\,  the nature of loss and ways to work with it. \nPlease join us at 7:00 pm. The evening will take place at the Sacramento Friends Meetinghouse\, 890 57th Street.

SUMMARY:Sit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor\, Diane Wilde
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, December 10\, 7-9 pm. Sitting and Dharma Discus with Diane Wilde\, SIM Community Mentor\nAnger… it’s not what you think! \nIt’s the holiday season!  Anger?  Not allowed now!  Yet anger creeps into our lives uninvited\, disguised in a variety of forms.  There are a wide range of behaviors that signal anger\, yet we don’t usually consider ourselves “angry” because traditionally anger is defined as an explosion of violent behavior\, verbally or physically.  Yet this is only the extreme form on a continuum of emotional manifestations which the Buddha defined as “ill-will.”  One of the most difficult aspects of anger or ill-will is when it is self-directed\, and may be experienced as disappointment\, guilt\, jealously as well as a variety of other emotions.  This time of year often brings these feelings to a head when we are convinced that everyone has it all together\, and we don’t.  The Buddha defined ill-will as one of three states of mind that keeps us in samsara\, or a state of unease. He also teaches that this painful emotion can be seen for what it really is\, and with patience\, can be experienced with insight and ultimately released.

SUMMARY:Sit & Dharma Talk "Reflections on the Year" with SIM Community Mentor\, Rich Howard
DESCRIPTION:The title of Rich’s talk is “Reflections on the Year.” \nWe are reminded in the Dhammapada that there are three elements of practice: \nDoing no evil\, \nEngaging in what’s skillful\, \nAnd purifying one’s mind. \nThis is the teaching of the buddhas. \n(v. 183\, Gil Fronsdal translation) \nAs the year ends\, we will reflect on how we did in these three areas\, using the lens of the Pārami (the perfections of the mind-heart)\, an attitude of kindness\, and the support of the sangha\, the community of fellow practitioners. We will close together by ringing 108 bells. Join SIM Community Mentor Rich Howard for a peaceful\, supportive evening.
