SUMMARY:(Remote) Sit & Dharma Talk - Dennis Warren - Loving Kindness
DESCRIPTION:Loving-Kindness (Metta) – Elaborations & Further Guidance from the Historical Buddha\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Founding Teacher Dennis Warren\n\nJoin online meeting: https://zoom.us/j/94777805204\nPasscode: 606098\nJoin by phone: 1-669-900-6833 ( Meeting ID: 947 7780 5204 )\nFor tips and instructions on how to participate\, check this news blog.\nThursday Night Talk Dana\n[give_form id=”10310″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”] “Generosity is the virtue that leads to peace.” – The Historical Buddha\nFor remote meetings\, please use the form above 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 Dennis Warren.\nTopic details:\nOur usual understanding of Loving-Kindness (Metta) comes from the Historical Buddha’s Karaniya Metta Sutta. In contrast\, the most popular and widely used instructions on how to practice Loving-Kindness were not taught by the Historical Buddha. They were developed by others\, and adopted as skillful forms of practice\, long after his death.\nIt turns out the Historical Buddha provided elaboration and further guidance on the experience of Loving-Kindness\, what it is and how to develop our capacity to experience it in a number of other talks. These are a value source of help in gaining a fuller\, deeper\, richer understanding of this pivotal quality of heart and the role it can play in our individual lives\, in community and in the larger world. This is what we’ll explore Thursday evening.\nYou are encouraged to read this Karaniya Metta Sutta – The Metta Sutta several times\, s l o w l y\, as preparation for this evening. It’s well worth the effort. Topic headings have been added to support reading and understanding the sutta.\nThe subject matter of this evening is appropriate for all stages of practice. All that is necessary is showing up with an open\, curious mind.

Enter the amount you’d like to give and 100% of your donation will be shared with Vance Pryor. \n \nVANCE PRYOR\, PsyD\, began insight meditation in 1998. He has been deeply influenced by the teachings of Sayadaw U Pandita and Sayadaw U Tejaniya. His training to become a teacher has been supported by the mentorship of Steve Armstrong and Kamala Masters. He is currently participating in IMS’s 2017-2021 Teacher Training Program. \n  \nTopic Details: \nThe five mental states of sensory desire\, aversion\, sloth/torpor\, restlessness\, and doubt are some of the most common experiences that arise over the course of a meditation period. They are collectively referred to as the hindrances\, because they hinder the clear seeing which leads to insight into the nature of the mind and body experience. Learning how to skillfully recognize\, understand\, and engage with the 5 hindrances is integral to the path of meditation\, and will be the focus of this Thursday night’s discussion and reflection period.

SUMMARY:(Remote) Daylong Retreat - Rich Howard - Resting in Awareness - At Home
DESCRIPTION:An online\, One Day Retreat with SIM Community Teacher Rich Howard\nResting in Awareness – At Home\nAwareness is always accessible\, and it does not require special effort. As contemporary Burmese teacher Sayadaw U Tejaniya says\, “Everything you need for understanding to arise is surrounding you in this moment. It is all on your doorstep: family\, friends\, work colleagues\, and any other relationships you may have can all be powerful catalysts in your work of revealing wisdom.” What is difficult is to remember to be aware. With the pandemic limiting our opportunities to practice at retreat centers\, it is more important than ever to remember to bring awareness into all activities.\nIn this simple day of practice\, we will practice sitting\, walking\, and standing meditation wherever we are. Throughout the day\, Rich will offer several options for promoting awareness in any posture or activity. There will also be opportunities for questions and sharing experiences.\nAll are welcome. (Pre-registration is required.) \nRICH HOWARD has been an active practitioner and volunteer at SIM since 2004. 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. He served on the Board from 2010 until 2015\, the last two years as president. He was one of the SIM representatives to the Inter-Sangha Coordinating Committee\, predecessor to the Sacramento Dharma Center Board\, which now runs our shared space for Buddhist sanghas in Sacramento. He served as a Peace Corps volunteer in southern Africa in the 1970s and is fluent in Spanish. His teachers are Dennis Warren\, Tony Bernhard\, and Steve Armstrong. 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. With our practice of dana\, we support our Sangha.

Diane Wilde. \nTopic details:\nAfter a year of pandemic isolation\, we are slowly returning to “normal.” Many of us are now vaccinated\, or will be soon\, we are venturing out with friends and we might look forward to travel\, eating out\, movies\, or long absent hugs. However\, “normal” isn’t easily defined. Each individual is unique due to biology\, personality and the causes and conditions that make up a life. Societies are different depending on values\, cultural mores\, spiritual traditions\, political ideologies\, and historical background. So\, is there a universal “normal?” Is “normal” an achievable state? We will discuss what the Buddha and contemporary teachers have to say about striving for normalcy.
