SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Sit & Dharma Talk - Diane Wilde - The Buddha’s To-Do List for a Happier Life
DESCRIPTION:Meditation & Dharma Talk with SIM Teacher Diane Wilde\n\n\n\nFor biographical details of the teacher Diane Wilde\, click here. \n\n\n\n\n* Hybrid events can be attended via Zoom or onsite at the Sacramento Dharma Center. \n\n\n\n\nThe Buddha’s To-Do List for a Happier LifeDiscursive\, subtle states of mind are difficult to isolate which makes it difficult to utilize methods to lessen their negative impact on us. They just seem to be “us”\, who we are. Even though they are almost always “invisible”\, you can count on experiencing their results… anxiety and more anxiety! The Buddha describes these troubling subtle states of mind as the Ten Fetters. He offers an approach\, a sort of “To-Do List” on how to mentally address the Fetters\, and what happens when we undertake the process of recognizing them. Tonight we will do a brief overview of the Ten Fetters and their unique properties. We’ll spend additional time on the first fetter\, which is the illusion we each have concerning our own personality\, or “personality view”. We will explore this first fetter through a few brief mental exercises. \n\n\n\nOffer a Teacher Donation\n\n\n[give_form id=”9758″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”] \n\n\n\nHow to Attend Remotely\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin online meeting: https://zoom.us/join or join by phone at 1-669-900-6833( Meeting ID: 850 9796 2731 and Passcode: 136792 )For tips and instructions to join the meeting\, click here to check this news blog.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Sit & Dharma Talk - Rich Howard - Walking the Path
DESCRIPTION:Meditation & Dharma Talk with SIM Teacher Rich Howard\n\n\n\nFor biographical details of the teacher Rich Howard\, click here. \n\n\n\n\n* The teacher will present in-person at the Dharma Center.Hybrid events can be attended via Zoom or onsite at the Sacramento Dharma Center. \n\n\n\n\nWalking the PathA community like SIM will have folks with a broad spectrum of experience and commitment to meditation and the teachings of the historical Buddha. Living into this way of mindful awareness has been likened to walking on a path. Where are you on the path? Is meditation an occasional hobby or a daily necessity? Does your practice include generosity and ethical behavior or do those qualities raise your hackles as “too religious?” What about cultivating other qualities like patience\, renunciation\, truthfulness\, kindness and equanimity (collectively known as the “paramis”). Wherever you are on the path\, you are welcome at SIM. And\, we encourage you to reflect on your practice(s) and living in harmony with your highest values. We will do just that on this evening by meditating together and discussing where we are along the path. Be prepared to ask and answer questions! \n\n\n\nOffer a Teacher Donation\n\n\n[give_form id=”10304″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”] \n\n\n\nHow to Attend Remotely\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin online meeting: https://zoom.us/join or join by phone at 1-669-900-6833( Meeting ID: 850 979

One aspect of insight meditation practice that we are gently cultivating is what we call concentration\, or samadhi in Pali. Buddhist scholar Bhikkhu Analayo says the term samadhi “carries nuances of a bringing together.” He writes that other translations for samadhi include “collectedness” and “composure of the mind.” In this talk\, we will explore various aspects of developing greater concentration and how it can help transform our practice and our life.  \n\n\n\nOffer a Teacher Donation\n\n\n[give_form id=”14984″ show_title=”false” show_content=”none” display_style=”reveal”] \n\n\n\nHow to Attend Remotely\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin online meeting: https://zoom.us/join or join by phone at 1-669-900-6833( Meeting ID: 850 9796 2731 and Passcode: 136792 )For tips and instructions to join the meeting\, click here to check this news blog.
