This is hard to deny even for those of us who are really good at denial. For many\, it is a world filled with confusion\, uncertainty\, resistance\, anxiety and fear for the future – the future of our families\, our country\, the world.\nHow to deal with this reality in a way that allows us to experience a sense of ease\, purposefulness\, empoweredness\, togetherness and kindness may not at first be clear.\nDuring this evening we’ll explore the meaning of “equanimity” as a working life premise\, as an operational reality\, as a powerful tool in the face of our current challenges\, sorrows and joys.

SUMMARY:(Remote) *Sit & Dharma Talk - Diane Wilde - Forgiveness…
DESCRIPTION:Forgiveness… What if you are not forgiven?\nA Discussion and a True Story\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Teacher Rev. Diane Wilde and guest Edwin Paragas\nJoin online meeting: https://zoom.us/j/92579615275\nPasscode: 668643\nJoin by phone: 1-669-900-6833 ( Meeting ID: 925 7961 5275 )\nFor tips and instructions on how to participate\, check this news blog. \nThursday Night Talk Dana \n[give_form id=”9758″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”]\n“Generosity is the virtue that leads to peace.” – The Historical Buddha\nWe recognize that donating by cash or check at the time you attend this event may not always be convenient for you. If that’s the case\, please use the form below to donate by credit card or your PayPal account. Enter the amount you’d like to give and 75% of your donation will be shared with Rev. Diane Wilde. \nTopic details:\nPsychologists generally define forgiveness as a conscious\, deliberate decision to release feelings of resentment or vengeance toward a person or group who has harmed you\, regardless of whether they actually deserve your forgiveness or not. It’s a state of mind that our culture and most faith traditions hold as a positive and worthwhile aspiration. Buddhism sees forgiveness a little differently. We will discuss those differences and the practicality of the Buddhist definition of forgiveness. \nEdwin Paragas was recently released from twenty years of incarceration beginning when he was sixteen years old. He will tell the story of his own search for forgiveness from his victim’s family and his life now as a returning citizen.

His area of interest is bringing meditative awareness into everyday life. He participated in SIM’s 2007 India Pilgrimage and is a graduate of SIM’s second Practice Development and Leadership (PDL) program.

Rich completed online courses with Steve on the Abhidhamma (the Buddhist psychology) and the Manual of Insight. He took Gil Fronsdal’s online course on the Majjhima Nikaya (Middle-length Discourses of the Buddha). His interest in the environment led him to the One Small Planet training with Kerry Nelson and the Ecosattva training with One Earth Sangha. In 2018\, he completed a 10-month Dhamma Awareness Training with Steve Armstrong and Kamala Masters called Touching the Earth. In 2019\, he completed Meg Gawler’s 8-month course Preparing the Ground for Samadhi. \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.

Enter the amount you’d like to give and 75% of your donation will be shared with Rich Howard. \nTopic details: \nAs the days wane and the nights get longer\, Rich will bring reflections on the “greatest blessings” from the Maha-Mangala Sutta (Sutta Nipata 2.4). This beloved sutta reminds us that\, even in the midst of loss and grief\, our ordinary lives contain so many sources of happiness. In balancing our awareness of suffering with the uplifting conditions in life\, we come closer to seeing things as they are. This awareness provides a balance to our daily life practice and a motivation for skillful action in the world. \nRich last offered a reflection on this sutta four years ago\, as we moved into the Sacramento Dharma Center. Now that we are not able to be there in person\, let’s bring these blessings to mind again.
