SUMMARY:Sit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor\, Diane Wilde
DESCRIPTION:Friendship… the friend we are to others and the friendships we cultivate \nOur new home and the first SIM Dharma sitting practice and discussion at the Sacramento Dharma Center is a wonderful opportunity to look at friendship in this new\, expansive and beautiful venue… our new home. What kind of friends do we cultivate? What kind of friend are we to others? What hinders us from being a friend and why do some of us shy away from developing friendships? What can we learn from those whom we consider “difficult”? With three sanghas coming together in our shared space\, it is a timely topic. \nAll of us who practice and study the Buddha’s teachings at the Sacramento Dharma Center will all be asked to help and support our new home. This is a wonderful opportunity to deepen old friendships and cultivate new ones. The Buddha offered wise and compassionate advise which couldn’t be more relevant then right now.

SUMMARY:Sit & Community Discussion\, led by SIM Community Mentor\, Diane Wilde
DESCRIPTION:Diane will give an overview on Right Speech and Skillful Listening and then invite the community to share what they found out about themselves and others with the home practice exercises offered at the 11-3-16 meeting.\nIf you are one of the sangha members who resist talking to a group\, please investigate your own response.  This is a great area of practice!  Consider that an entire community benefits from the shared experiences of all who are following the Buddha’s path to freedom.\nComing together as a community to share topics that are normally not discussed in “ordinary” society is one of the gifts of sangha and spiritual friends.  Please take part!

SUMMARY:Sit & Dharma Talk\, with SIM Founding Teacher\, Dennis Warren
DESCRIPTION:CHANGE AND KARMA \nWhat is the relationship between the constant element of change in our lives and what is called “Karma” in Buddhist practice? These two realities can act as powerful resources for understanding Buddhist psychology; informing our meditation practice; and helping us live more satisfying and meaningful lives. How does the Buddhist understanding of these issues differ from that of other spiritual traditions? \nThis evening with SIM’s Founding Teacher\, Dennis Warren\, will explore these topics from both a short and long term perspective. As background for this evening\, you may find it helpful to review Dennis’  presentation from Oct 20\, 2016 on the nature of change.

SUMMARY:Day-long with SIM Community Mentor\, Diane Wilde
DESCRIPTION:Gratitude: the easiest practice of all! \nGratitude is the sweetest of all the practices for living the dharma in daily life and the most easily cultivated\, requiring the least effort for what is gained in return. It is a very powerful form of mindfulness practice\, particularly for those who habitually look for what is wrong in a situation or person.  We will investigate the causes and conditions that cause gratitude and gratitude’s healing qualities. \nWe will start the day with gentle mindful movement\, with periods of sitting and walking leaving time for discussion.
