SUMMARY:(IN-PERSON) Sit & Dharma Talk - Dennis Warren - Intention: The Factor Animating Choice and Karma
DESCRIPTION:Insight Meditation and Dharma Talk with SIM Founding Teacher Dennis Warren\n\n\n\nFor biographical details of the teacher Dennis Warren\, 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\nIntention: The Factor Animating Choice and KarmaChoice plays a pivotal role in the architecture of Buddhist practice. For example\, it surfaces in the five strategies for dealing with distracting thoughts\, the four types of Right Effort\, and the five ways of letting go or abandoning unskillful states of mind. Each set of options asks that we weight the circumstances and select a course of action. \n\n\n\nAnd yet\, curiously\, the Pali Canon — that vast record of the Historical Buddha’s psychology\, teachings and methods — contains no word or phrase equivalent to our conventional sense of “choice.” \n\n\n\nThis reflects the Historical Buddha’s tendency to redirect attention away from the surface of a question towards what he considered its root. If choice\, as commonly understood\, is not the true axis of decision-making\, then what is? And what might this reveal\, as a practical matter\, about the nature of skillful decision making and how it can be embodied in practice and life? \n\n\n\nThis is the question we’ll explore this Thursday evening. \n\n\n\nWe invite you to join us either in person or via ZOOM. Dennis will be presenting in person. He encourages you to be there in person\, as well\, to meet with old\, as well as new\, friends and enjoy an evening of community and investigation the Historical Buddha’s teachings. \n\n\n\nOffer a Teacher Donation \n\n\n\nDennis Warren will receive at least 75% of your donation. \n\n\n\nUse the following donate button and select Thu Sep 3 – Dennis from the dropdown list. \n\n\n\n\nDONATE – Thu Talk\n\n\n\n\n\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: 895 2162 7007 and Passcode: 933142)For tips and instructions to join the meeting\, click here to check this news blog.

SUMMARY:(IN-PERSON) Sit & Dharma Talk - Rich Howard - Mahā-Sīlava Jātaka (“Not One Drop of Blood”) (7PM - 9PM) + Uposatha Observance (9PM - 12AM)
DESCRIPTION:Insight Meditation and 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\n* 7PM – 9PM: Mahā-Sīlava Jātaka (“Not One Drop of Blood”)The Jataka Tales are folksy stories of the past lives of the being who would become Siddhattha Gotama and eventually the historical Buddha. To become a Buddha\, this being had to perfect the ten qualities known as “Paramis” (or “Perfections”)\, and each tale tells how one or more of the Paramis was developed in a particular past life\, as an animal or human. The Mahā-Sīlava Jātaka is particularly rich in its inclusion of the Paramis\, so we will listen to the story and reflect on which qualities are illustrated and how the story informs our understanding of them. \n\n\n\n* 9PM – midnight:  Uposatha ObservanceThursday August 27\, 2026\, is a full moon day. At 9:00 pm after the regular sit and dharma talk\, Rich will offer an evening of Uposatha practice\, which has been observed in Buddhist countries since the time of the Buddha. This is a particularly auspicious day\, as there will be a partial (93%) lunar eclipse\, starting at 7:35 pm PDT\, reaching maximum at 9:12 pm\, and concluding at 12:01 am. We will walk outside to experience the peak of the eclipse\, then return inside for sitting and walking meditation\, chanting\, and perhaps another Jataka Tale. Rich will stay until midnight\, as long as folks are interested. \n\n\n\nOffer a Teacher Donation\n\n\n\nRich Howard will receive at least 75% of your donation. \n\n\n\nUse the following donate button and select Thu Aug 27 – Rich from the dropdown list. \n\n\n\n\nDONATE – Thu Talk\n\n\n\n\n\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: 895 2162 7007 and Passcode: 933142)For tips and instructions to join the meeting\, click here to check this news blog.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Sit & Dharma Talk - Tanya Wiser - How Mindfulness Matures
DESCRIPTION:Insight Meditation and Dharma Talk with Visiting Teacher Tanya Wiser\n\n\n\n\n* The teacher will present remotely via Zoom.Hybrid events can be attended via Zoom or onsite at the Sacramento Dharma Center. \n\n\n\n\nHow Mindfulness MaturesMindfulness is often described as paying attention to the present moment. Yet throughout the early Buddhist teachings\, the Buddha presents mindfulness and clear comprehension together. Over time\, we begin to recognize how these two qualities work in partnership: mindfulness helps us know what is happening\, while clear comprehension reveals what we might otherwise overlook.We’ll explore how this deepening understanding supports greater wisdom\, responsiveness\, and care in our daily lives. \n\n\n\nTANYA WISER\, LCSW\, SEP is a queer-identified mother\, therapist\, and meditation teacher devoted to mindfulness\, embodied wisdom\, and the path of liberation. She teaches at the Insight Meditation Center in Redwood City and offers retreats grounded in attentive presence\, receptive awareness\, compassionate embodiment\, and deep reciprocity with the natural world\, guided by the question: “Is the heart open or closed?” Her approach arises from lived experience of the Dharma and is informed by training in Mindfulness-Based Therapy\, Compassion-Focused Therapy\, and Somatic Experiencing. Tanya’s teaching supports people in meeting life with greater wisdom\, care\, and compassion.She was fully authorized to teach in 2025 by Gil Fronsdal and Andrea Fella after completing a four-year Vipassanā teacher training program through the Insight Retreat Center and the Insight Meditation Center. \n\n\n\nOffer a Teacher Donation\n\n\n\nTanya Wiser will receive at least 75% of your donation. \n\n\n\nUse the following donate button and select Thu Jul 16 – Tanya from the dropdown list. \n\n\n\n\nDONATE – Thu Talk\n\n\n\n\n\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: 895 2162 7007 and Passcode: 933142)For tips and instructions to join the meeting\, click here to check this news blog.
