SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Matt Russell - Psychedelics and Buddhism
DESCRIPTION:Psychedelics and Buddhism: Hindrance or Skillful Means?\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Member Matt Russell \nYou may have heard\, there is a “new science of psychedelics” and major studies are showing that these substances\, when properly used\, can help relieve human suffering\, including depression\, anxiety\, PTSD\, and addiction. Some proponents claim that psychedelics have the potential to revolutionize health care as well as our understanding of the mind. \nPsychedelics and Buddhism have a long\, if seldom discussed\, overlapping history in this country that continues into the present day. \nThis talk will offer an inquiry into the implications of the current state of “psychedelic science” on dharma practitioners\, exploring the possibilities as well as the potential dangers and perils. \nWe will inquire into topics such as: psychedelics and the 5th precept\, the impact of psychedelics on the formation of the Dharma in the West\, academic research into the effects of psilocybin on the brains of long term meditators\, the current landscape of contemporary dharma teachers and practitioners who integrate psychedelic use into their dharma practice\, how we might think about psychedelics in the context of addiction and recovery. \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 - Rich Howard - Wisdom
DESCRIPTION:Wisdom\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Teacher Rich Howard \nNOTICE: Guest teacher Noliwe Alexander let us know she is ill and will not be able to join us as originally scheduled this Thursday. We will re-schedule her for the Fall or Winter\, and SIM Community Teacher Rich Howard is the substitute for her this week. \nThe talk tonight concludes Rich’s series on the three root defilements (greed\, hatred\, and delusion) and their antidotes. Wisdom is the way out of Delusion\, which we discussed on June 6. While we may picture wisdom as only available far away\, it is right here inthis moment\, waiting to be discovered. We will explore the different kinds of wisdom in the Buddhist tradition and the ways by which wisdom grows and benefits our practice and all beings. \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.

SUMMARY:Sit & Dharma Talk - Diane Wilde - Is Forgiveness Always the Right Response?
DESCRIPTION:Is Forgiveness Always the Right Response?\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Teacher Diane Wilde \nWe read often of the power of forgiveness and are inspired by those who\, even after suffering the devastating loss of loved ones and community members\, still forgive. Is this always the right response? In the Buddha’s teachings\, patisaraniya-kamma or reconciliation — means a return to amicability\, and that requires much more than forgiveness. What are the criteria for reconciliation that the Buddha set out and what do we do if we feel reconciliation is impossible? \nThere are right and wrong ways of attempting reconciliation: those that skillfully meet the necessary requirements for reestablishing trust\, and those that don’t. To encourage right reconciliation among his followers\, the Buddha formulated detailed methods for achieving it\, along with a culture of values that encourages putting those methods to use. \nWe will discuss forgiveness\, reconciliation and what needs to take place for these conditions to occur… or not. \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 Rev.

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Dennis Warren - Seeking Nothing\, Fearful of Nothing\, Being Free
DESCRIPTION:Seeking Nothing\, Fearful of Nothing\, Being Free\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Founding Teacher Dennis Warren \nSome of the most fundamental instructions we heard about practice – “Seek nothing\, Be fearful of nothing\, and You will be free” – seem to conflict with other fundamental instructions such as not striving for any particular results of state of mind. How do we explain this situation?\nThis evening we’ll explore the answer to this apparent contradiction in fundamental instructions. Understanding why such fundamental instructions are not contradictory and not in conflict is key to a sound practice. This will be the important territory we’ll investigate Thursday evening. \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.

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk – Matt Russell – MBSR and Secular Mindfulness

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Tony Bernhard - Exploring the Refuges
DESCRIPTION:Exploring the Refuges as an Investigative Practice\nSit & Dharma Talk with Visiting Teacher Tony Bernhard \nCalling to mind The Three Refuges is usually done as a devotional practice. This discussion will look into the nature of refuge itself and ask how Buddha\, Dharma\, and Sangha might serve as a sanctuary for Buddhist practitioners. \nTony Bernhard is a Buddhist chaplain and teacher. He maintains an active practice with inmates in Folsom Prison and hosts sitting groups in Davis. He sits on the board of the Sati Center for Buddhist Studies and teaches regularly around the bay area and central valley. His practice is non-traditional\, guided by his chaplaincy work in prison\, his teaching and by his study of the early Pali scriptures. \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 - Rich Howard\, John Phelps - Pilgrimage\, Devotion\, and Uposatha
DESCRIPTION:Pilgrimage\, Devotion\, and Uposatha\nSit & Dharma Talk with with SIM Community Teacher Rich Howard and SIM Community Member John “Boogie” Phelps.\nHow does our practice include the warmth of heart\, expressed freely in devotion? Sometimes it may seem as if Buddhism’s intention to relieve suffering and be awake to the way things are\, in Western practice centers\, sidesteps the personal intimacy of devotion that we see in Asian temple life\, and in other faith traditions. To whom and what is devotion given? What can we learn from others\, and from attending to our own longings and gratefulness? Rich and John have been exploring this topic and will invite our participation in that exploration. \nAfter the presentation\, Rich and Boogie will host an evening of meditation and chanting as long as people would like to stay (up to midnight). In many Theravada countries\, special practice days are observed in line with phases of the moon\, called Uposatha. On this full moon day\, you are also invited to practice the eight precepts. Chanting books will be provided. \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.
