SUMMARY:Sit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor\, Diane Wilde
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, March 10\, 7-9:00 pm. Sitting and Dharma Discussion with Diane Wilde\, SIM Community Mentor\nSuttas that speak to us… \nKing Pasenadi and his worldly challenges \nKing Pasenadi was a contemporary of the Buddha and apparently became a treasured acquaintance as well as a supporter of the early sangha. An entire section of the Samyutta Nikaya (one of the “books” in the Pali Cannon) is devoted exclusively to twenty-five conversations Pasenadi had with the Buddha.  King Pasenadi spent a great deal of time thoughtfully dissecting his everyday life\, relating to the Buddha his challenges and reflections.  His issues certainly stand the test of time!  Marriage difficulties\, over-eating\, corruption\, tolerance of other faiths\, dealing with grief\, hypocrisy… Pasenadi lived fully in the world with all of its concerns.  We will explore King Pasenadi’s world\, and specifically the suttas where he raises questions about the “self” and how to hold our sense of self.  Taking it one step further\, how does an inherent sense of “me” coexist with the training of  “anatta’” i.e. the absence of a permanent abiding self?  It should be an interesting discussion. \nThis event will begin at 7:00 pm at Sacramento Friends Meetinghouse\, 890 57th Street\, Sacramento

SUMMARY:Sit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor\, Rich Howard
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, March 24\, 7-9:15 pm. Sitting and Dharma Talk with Rich Howard\, SIM Community Mentor\nSatipatthana Sutta – WITH SIM COMMUNITY MENTOR RICH HOWARD  – THURSDAY\, MARCH 24\, 2016 – 7:00-9:15 PM    \nLooking at the Discourse on the Four Foundations of Mindfulness (MN 10\, the Satipatthana Sutta)\, we arrive at perhaps the single most important description of how and why we practice meditation. The many practices described in this discourse form the basis for SIM’s Introduction to Meditation course and most Vipassana (insight) meditation retreats. SIM spent almost two years from March 2009 through December 2010 examining this subject in depth\, and many excellent book-length studies are available (including Joseph Goldstein’s Mindfulness\, Bhikkhu Analayo’s Satipatthana: The Direct Path to Realization\, and U Silananda’s Four Foundations of Mindfulness). So what could be gained from looking at this text for a single night? In our continuing exploration of the Suttas That Speak to Us\, SIM Community Mentor Rich Howard will approach the Satipatthana Sutta as if in conversation with a good friend\, looking literally at how it speaks to us as practitioners of insight meditation.  \nThis evening’s talk will lead into SIM’s monthly daylong retreat on Saturday March 26 (see description below under Upcoming Events).  \nThis event will begin at 7:00 pm at Sacramento Friends Meetinghouse\, 890 57th Street\, Sacramento

SUMMARY:Day-Long Retreat with SIM Community Mentor\, Rich Howard
DESCRIPTION:One Day Retreat\,Rich Howard\, SIM Community Mentor. \nEvery Moment is the Right Moment: Developing Continuity of Awareness \nIn this daylong\, we will develop continuity of awareness through alternating periods of dhamma discussion with open periods for “continuing to practice in any posture.” This style of meditation\, as taught by Sayadaw U Tejaniya\, Steve Armstrong\, Kamala Masters\, Andrea Fella\, and others\, cultivates an open awareness to all experience that is easily applicable to daily life. By bringing awareness to each activity and the transitions between them\, this style requires a gentle perseverance rather than a forced personal effort\, and can leave one feeling refreshed and alert even after a full day (or two weeks!) By using the mind itself as an object of awareness\, the practice allows us to see and work with our intentions\, motivations\, and habits of mind. Bring a lunch and plan to stay on the Friends Meeting House property to make the most of this day.

SUMMARY:Sit & Dharma Talk with SIM Visiting Mentor\, Lori Wong
DESCRIPTION:Lori Wong\, Founding Teacher\, Insight Meditation Central Valley \nAs we continue exploring the Suttas That Speak to Us\, it seems like a great time to explore how we cling to views and perceptions with all of the primary election news. Lori Wong from Insight Meditation Central Valley will present various passages from the suttas on views\, quarrels\, and disputes.
