SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Daylong Retreat - Rich Howard - The Three Trainings of the Noble Eightfold Path: Theory and Practice
DESCRIPTION:Daylong Retreat with SIM Community Teacher Rich Howard\n\n\n\nFor biographical details of the teacher Rich Howard\, click here. \n\n\n\nAbout This Hybrid Retreat\n\n\n\n\nParticipants may attend this Hybrid event via Zoom or in-person at the Sacramento Dharma Center.\n\n\n\nPre-registration is required and we recommend you pay the registration fee in advance using the registration ATTEND buttons shown below. Since your registration choice indicates if you’ll be attending via Zoom or in-person\, registering early helps us determine how many people the meditation room should accommodate.\n\n\n\nAfter you’ve registered you may later offer a donation in gratitude of the teacher. To offer teacher dana\, visit https://sactoinsight.org/retreat-dana-online/.\n\n\n\n\nThe Three Trainings of the Noble Eightfold Path: Theory and PracticeCommunity Teacher Rich Howard will combine Thursday 2/22 and Saturday 2/24 into an extended exploration of the four noble truths. You may attend either session or both. \n\n\n\nWhile Thursday evening’s session introduced the first three truths\, Saturday’s daylong retreat will be a deeper dive into the fourth truth\, the path to the end of suffering. As a framework for this exploration\, we will use the three trainings of the path: the training in sila (ethical conduct\, harmonious living)\, the training in samadhi (concentration\, collectedness of mind)\, and the training in pañña (wisdom\, insight\, understanding). Through guided meditation\, short dharmettes\, and discussion\, we will see how these trainings free us from unskillful thoughts\, speech\, and actions\, from obsessive mind states\, and ultimately from dukkha (unsatisfactoriness/vulnerability/suffering) itself. The day will also feature readings from American monk and translator Bhikkhu Bodhi’s latest book\, “Noble Truths\, Noble Path” (Wisdom Publications\, 2023). Bring a lunch and plan to stay all day. \n\n\n\nSummary of Important Dates\n\n\n\n\n01/02/2024 – Registration opens.\n\n\n\n02/24/2024 – Attend and enjoy the wonderful retreat.\n\n\n\n02/25/2024 – For registration after the retreat\, send a message to the registrar to arrange payment.\n\n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\n\n\nSelect one of the following registration “ATTEND” buttons to indicate if you’ll be attending via Zoom or in-person.
