SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Rich Howard - Greed and Mindfulness of Death
DESCRIPTION:Greed and Mindfulness of Death\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Teacher Rich Howard \nN O T E  – Due to technical difficulties\, we couldn’t include this talk in our Audio Dharma library. \nRich recently started a short series on working with the three roots of suffering – greed\, hatred\, and delusion. We looked at one version of hatred\, anger\, in February and one of its antidotes\, patience\, in March. On this evening\, we will look at greed (desire\, lobha\, sensual attachment) and one of its antidotes – mindfulness of death (maranasati). \nThe Buddha said\, “Mindfulness of death—when developed and pursued—is of great fruit and great benefit.” (AN 6:20)\nWhat are some of the benefits of looking at a subject that our culture often goes out of its way to avoid? What are some contemporary practices that we may use to work with desire beyond the practices recommended for monastics in India in 500 BCE? As with the previous two sessions in this series\, there will be handout of resources. \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. \nThursday Night Talk Dana\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 your donation will be shared with Rich Howard and SIM. \n[give_form id=”10304″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”]

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Meg Gawler - Happiness and the Arising of Samādhi
DESCRIPTION:Happiness and the Arising of Samādhi\nSit & Dharma Talk with Visiting teacher Meg Gawler \nHappiness (sukha in Pali) is the proximate cause for samādhi (collectedness\, concentration). It is also traditionally taught as one of the factors of absorption (jhana). On this evening\, Meg will explore the various meanings of happiness in a Buddhist context and the role it plays in our practice of meditative awareness. \nMEG GAWLER began practicing Buddhism in 1968 as a disciple of the Zen Master\, Shunryu Suzuki Roshi\, including over three years of monastic training. She earned a Master’s in Applied Ecology\, moved to Europe\, pursued an international career in nature conservation and human development\, and began practicing in the Theravāda tradition. She has trained with Gil Fronsdal\, Jack Kornfield\, Joseph Goldstein\, and others. Authorized as a Dharma teacher by Jack Kornfield and then by Gil Fronsdal\, Meg teaches retreats in both English and French in Switzerland\, and serves as a guest teacher at the Insight Meditation Center and elsewhere. Meg also holds a Master’s in Buddhist Studies\, specializing in early Theravāda studies. In addition\, she teaches Radiant Heart Qigong in the tradition of Teja Bell. \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.

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Diane Wilde - Two Types of Thinking
DESCRIPTION:Two Types of Thinking\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Teacher Rev. Diane Wilde\nThoughts… what a random mess! They come uninvited\, stick around for a bit and then they are off. Thoughts that we enjoy as well as thoughts that we would prefer to ignore. Thoughts that are inspirational and others which bring out our worst nature. The Buddha explains in the “Dvedhavitakka Sutta” that he too wrestled with uninvited thoughts. Using mindfulness practice\, he categorized arising thoughts into skillful and unskillful\, i.e. which of his thoughts alleviated suffering and which made things worse. In our contemporary lives\, we are unfortunately\, mostly unaware of the harm we needlessly cause ourselves because we rarely monitor our own thought processes. This is true for the dramatic “big issues”\, but it is also relevant for thoughts that arise from seemingly innocent and often mundane daily activities. Tonight we will discuss strategies for elevating our “thought experience” both on and off the cushion. \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. \nThursday Night Talk Dana\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.
