Enter the amount you’d like to give and 75% of your donation will be shared with Dennis Warren. \nTopic details:  The Historical Buddha said that one of the rarest persons to appear on this planet is one who is grateful and who responds with an urge to help. That’s quite a statement given the Buddha’s habit of understatement.\nIf the appearance of Grateful people on the planet is so rare\, why does it seem to be such an unrated and infrequently taught quality of mind? What is Gratefulness from a Buddhist perspective? Why is it so important?\nWe’ll explore these questions\, specific ways to experiment with bringing more Gratefulness into our lives\, and the role Gratefulness plays in encouraging and supporting Loving-Kindness\, Compassion\, Equanimity and Joy.

Enter the amount you’d like to give and 75% of your donation will be shared with Rich Howard. \nTopic details: \nThe word “freedom” means different things to different people\, depending on what limits are imposed on them. Currently\, many people are calling for “freedom” from the public health guidelines that ask us to keep physical distance from others and not gather in large groups. The idea of “freedom” in the Buddhist psychology has a very different context. For many\, the aspiration for practicing meditative awareness is freedom from greed hatred and delusion\, freedom from “suffering.” This freedom has the potential to lead to cessation\, “the unshakeable liberation of mind.” Let’s explore some meanings of freedom\, the ways recommended by the Buddha for approaching and finding freedom\, and how we might apply these teachings to our current cirumstances.

SUMMARY:(Cancelled) Half day Retreat - Diane Wilde- Revolution of Mind
DESCRIPTION:An Online\, Half-day Retreat with SIM Community Teacher Rev. Diane Wilde\nThis retreat is cancelled.\nIt’s a Revolution of the Mind!\nA revolution is taking place in our own minds just as it is taking place in society. The amount of anxiety\, concern\, and fear is beyond anything we have seen before. For many of us\, these past few months in quarantine have opened up our minds to mental experiences which are new to us. Fear of the unknown\, fear of sickness\, fear of societal upheaval. Yet contemporary scientists/neurologists as well as the Buddha\, have said that the mind is capable of contending with these unprecedented times. We’ll practice together and investigate relevant Buddhist teachings as well as neurological studies and techniques for uprooting anxiety and stress. \n \nDIANE WILDE has studied meditation in various traditions since 1990. In 2001 she was a founding member of Sacramento Insight Meditation. She founded Buddhist Pathways Prison Project (BP3) in 2010. Since 2003\, she has been a BP3 prison chaplain and aids in coordination of 75 volunteers who offer Buddhist services at numerous California prisons and jails.

We may frame it as a dramatic experience\, “a flash of lightning in a summer cloud” as it says in the Diamond Sutra. We may hold an expectation that it is only available in settings far from our daily lives\, on pilgrimage to a holy land or in extended retreat at a meditation center. What if it is available in the most ordinary of circumstances? What if we are setting the conditions for insight in the most mundane activities and familiar places of our lives? What if we let our expectations drop away and came into just this moment? In this evening’s talk and discussion\, we will explore the terrain of the ordinary.

SUMMARY:(Remote) *Sit & Dharma Talk - Dennis Warren- Who and What Gets Included or Excluded
DESCRIPTION:Who and What Gets Included or Excluded? Answer that Enrich or Diminish All of Us\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Founding Teacher Dennis Warren \nJoin online meeting: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86975408567\nPasscode: 418133\nJoin by phone: 1-669-900-9128 ( Meeting ID: 869 7540 8567 )\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. \nTalk topic details: \nTwo simple questions lie at the center of our spiritual practices\, daily life and the “cultural” conflicts we are facing: Who and what gets included? Who and what gets excluded?\nThe answers to these questions influence our intentions\, perceptions\, choices\, and relationships. They shape identity\, education\, social and economic status\, access to power and our health and well-being. They determine how we participate\, and how fully we are allowed to participate\, in family\, organizations and the American experience itself. They touch every dimension of our inner and outer lives.\nHow do we work with these questions of inclusion from a mindful and caring perspective? In our inner life? In outer life? In both our spiritual and real-life challenges of being fallible\, while simultaneously seeking to be more fully human and inclusive? The evening will explore the special role inclusion plays in Buddhist psychology and practice.\nPart of our evening will explore a caring approach to understanding and working with the hot\, controversial cultural issues we’re all facing from a mindfulness perspective. This will include the meaning of “systemic” and “systematic” from the perspective of Buddhist psychology. \nIt would be very helpful if you view the following in preparation for that part of our session: \n\nStone Ghosts of the South – Documentary – 27:14 Minutes (https://youtu.be/K7AHm6Az_Ss)\nDiscussion of Ghosts of the South – 8:21 minutes (https://youtu.be/UAFSESwDVcY)\n\n(The videos shown below fail to play\, try switching to a different browser and/or playing the videos using the links above.)

SUMMARY:(Remote) *Daylong Retreat with Ayya Santacitta Bhikkhuni and Rev. Diane Wilde
DESCRIPTION:An online\, One Day Retreat with Ayya Santacitta Bhikkhuni and Rev. Diane Wilde\nRetreat theme: What I have learned from my teachers\nLessons come from our cherished teachers as well as from lesser known beings throughout our lives. Paying attention and incorporating these teachings can change the trajectory of our lives from self-absorption towards more happiness and freedom. How do we do that? Which lessons are most pertinent to our own lives? \nAyya Santacitta — in her thirty years as Buddhist monastic — has benefited from some of the great teachers of our time\, in both Theravada and Vajrayana traditions. They include Ajahn Buddhadasa\, Ajahn Sumedho\, Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche\, Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo\, Bhikkhu Analayo and others. Diane Wilde has gained lessons from her years as an activist\, both for prison reform and the environment\, as well as a chaplain for many individuals as they died.

Her first teacher was Ajahn Buddhadasa\, who sparked her interest in Buddhist monastic life. She has practiced meditation for 30 years and trained as a nun in both the East and West since 1993\, primarily in the lineage of Ajahn Chah. Since 2002 she has also received teachings in the lineage of Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche. Ayya Santacitta is co-founder of Aloka Vihara Forest Monastery\, where she has resided since 2009 and took Bhikkhuni Ordination in 2011. She is particularly interested in creating sanctuary close to nature\, practicing in community\, and bringing wisdom traditions to the environmental movement. \nDIANE WILDE has studied meditation in various traditions since 1990. In 2001 she was a founding member of Sacramento Insight Meditation. She founded Buddhist Pathways Prison Project (BP3) in 2010. Since 2003\, she has been a BP3 prison chaplain and aids in coordination of 75 volunteers who offer Buddhist services at numerous California prisons and jails. She is a graduate of Sati Center’s Buddhist Chaplaincy program and graduated from Spirit Rock Meditation Center’s Community Dharma Leadership Training Program. She is a board member of Sati Center for Buddhist Studies\, Sacramento Dharma Center\, Buddhist Pathways Prison Project and California Dept. of Corrections Volunteer Advisory Board.

Both are necessary for a balanced practice that benefits ourselves and others. Too much faith encourages certainty without examination of experience. It can lead to mind states such as “if only I practice a lot more\, everything will be fine.” Too much doubt can be paralyzing. “Why do I bother? My practice is going nowhere. Nothing has changed!” Knowing how to balance these two extremes brings us to an authentic practice. This helps us not just in our personal practice\, but aids in our interaction in the world which seems to insist on extremes at this present time.
