SUMMARY:(IN-PERSON) Sit & Dharma Talk - Dennis Warren - Intention: The Factor Animating Choice and Karma
DESCRIPTION:Insight Meditation and Dharma Talk with SIM Founding Teacher Dennis Warren\n\n\n\nFor biographical details of the teacher Dennis Warren\, click here. \n\n\n\n\n* The teacher will present IN-PERSON at the Dharma Center.Hybrid events can be attended via Zoom or onsite at the Sacramento Dharma Center. \n\n\n\n\nIntention: The Factor Animating Choice and KarmaChoice plays a pivotal role in the architecture of Buddhist practice. For example\, it surfaces in the five strategies for dealing with distracting thoughts\, the four types of Right Effort\, and the five ways of letting go or abandoning unskillful states of mind. Each set of options asks that we weight the circumstances and select a course of action. \n\n\n\nAnd yet\, curiously\, the Pali Canon — that vast record of the Historical Buddha’s psychology\, teachings and methods — contains no word or phrase equivalent to our conventional sense of “choice.” \n\n\n\nThis reflects the Historical Buddha’s tendency to redirect attention away from the surface of a question towards what he considered its root. If choice\, as commonly understood\, is not the true axis of decision-making\, then what is? And what might this reveal\, as a practical matter\, about the nature of skillful decision making and how it can be embodied in practice and life? \n\n\n\nThis is the question we’ll explore this Thursday evening. \n\n\n\nWe invite you to join us either in person or via ZOOM. Dennis will be presenting in person. He encourages you to be there in person\, as well\, to meet with old\, as well as new\, friends and enjoy an evening of community and investigation the Historical Buddha’s teachings. \n\n\n\nOffer a Teacher Donation \n\n\n\nDennis Warren will receive at least 75% of your donation. \n\n\n\nUse the following donate button and select Thu Sep 3 – Dennis from the dropdown list. \n\n\n\n\nDONATE – Thu Talk\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow to Attend Remotely\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin online meeting: https://zoom.us/join or join by phone at 1-669-900-6833( Meeting ID: 895 2162 7007 and Passcode: 933142)For tips and instructions to join the meeting\, click here to check this news blog.
