SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Diane Wilde - The Atthakavagga: the original seeds that gave rise to Buddhist teachings
DESCRIPTION:The Atthakavagga: the original seeds that gave rise to Buddhist teachings\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor\, Diane Wilde\n \n“The wise person does not oppose any other person’s doctrine.” \nThis is one of the reflections from one of the earliest books in the Pali Cannon\, the Atthakavagga. Gil Fronsdal states in his introduction to his translation of the Atthakavagga: \n“Here we find the Buddhist teachings pared down to their most essential elements\, free of the more complex doctrines often associated with Buddhism.” \nThe poems and verses from this small collection reveal a pattern of teachings that are much different — in their directness and simplicity — from the later sutta collections. Verses in the Atthakavagga often have an almost koan-like quality\, which often seem open to interpretation.  We will discuss the exegesis of the Atthakavagga and our own interpretations of a few of its seemingly “simple” verses. \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 - The Atthakavagga\, Part 2
DESCRIPTION:The Atthakavagga: the original seeds that gave rise to Buddhist teachings (Part2)\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor\, Diane Wilde\n \n“For someone sunk in confusion\, even if well concealed in a hiding place\, seclusion is far away.” This is another paradoxical reflection from one of the earliest collections in the Pali Cannon\, the Atthakavagga. In this verse from a verse entitled “The Hiding Place”\, the protagonist appears to be redefining solitude or seclusion\, and perhaps loneliness. Just as we discovered during our first discussion two weeks ago\, this verse asks us to draw our own conclusions. Gil Fronsdal states in his introduction to his translation of the Atthakavagga: “Here we find the Buddhist teachings pared down to their most essential elements\, free of the more complex doctrines often associated with Buddhism.” The poems and verses from this small collection reveal a pattern of teachings that are much different — in their directness and simplicity — from the later sutta collections. Verses in the Atthakavagga often have an almost a koan-like quality\, which seem open to interpretation. \nTo listen to Part 1 of this talk\, click here or visit the audio dharma post date of Nov 16\, 2017. \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. \n

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Heather Sundberg - Deeper Refuge: What Does It Really Mean to Be 'All Right'?
DESCRIPTION:Deeper Refuge: What Does It Really Mean to Be ‘All Right’?\nSit & Dharma Talk with Visiting Senior Teacher\, Heather Sundberg \nThis Talk is based on some poetry from a Bob Dylan song which someone sent Heather recently\, and she has been reflecting on this question from a dharma perspective ever since.  Teachings & short experiential practices include the 4 Noble Truths\, mindfulness of the body\, heart practices & how to recognize & release reactive thoughts & stories which limit our access to a deeper sense of Refuge.  As Heather generally does not record these days\, you have to be present at the sitting group to hear her teachings.  See you there! \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. \n

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Rich Howard - How do I get off this Cycle of Reactivity?
DESCRIPTION:How do I get off this Cycle of Reactivity?\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor\, Rich Howard\n \nOur beginning classes offer an accessible approach to the profound core teaching of dependent origination called the Cycle of Reactivity. This evening\, we will explore that very helpful teaching\, with some deeper background drawn from the Nidanasamyutta\, a chapter of the Samyutta Nikaya devoted to dependent origination. In preparation\, you may read as much of Bikkhu Bodhi’s introduction to Chapter IX of “In the Buddha’s Words” as you wish; we will focus on page 315 through the first six lines on page 316. You may read all six suttas in Section IX(4)4; we will focus on two suttas on pages 355-357: IX(4)4(c) SN 12:33 and IX(4)4(d) SN 12:15. \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.

We habitually associate the concept of the new year with a “clean slate.” Perhaps we make resolutions\, head back to the gym\, or make amends for actions we regret. Yet our practice also teaches us that every moment of awareness and wholesome intention is a moment of renewal – at the same time that awareness brings us closer to an understanding of the ways past mental\, verbal and physical actions condition present experience. For our first evening together after New Years Day\, join long-time SIM participant Laura Rosenthal for a dharma talk and group discussion of this rich topic. \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. \n

SUMMARY:*Sit & Dharma Talk - Rich Howard - Bringing Tranquility to the Land
DESCRIPTION:Bringing Tranquility to the Land\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Community Mentor\, Rich Howard \nFor all his teachings on ultimate liberation\, the Buddha offered many teachings to laypeople and rulers on practical matters. SIM Mentor Rich Howard has chosen the story of King Mahāvijita and his chaplain to illustrate the compassion of the Buddha towards humans struggling with every day matters. This short selection from the Kūtadanta Sutta (DN 5)\, offers a vision of society that may sound different from the approaches in current headlines. Our discussion will focus on how we can bring these principles into our every day lives. \nIn preparation\, you may read the last paragraph of Bikkhu Bodhi’s introduction to Chapter IV of “In the Buddha’s Words” (page 114); the sutta selection is on pages 141-142. \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 - Dennis Warren - Resolving Conflicting\, Contradictory or Paradoxical Teachings
DESCRIPTION:Resolving Conflicting\, Contradictory or Paradoxical Teachings\nSit & Dharma Talk with SIM Founding Teacher\, Dennis Warren \nIt is easy to view our perception that one teaching conflicts with\, contradicts or is paradoxical to another teaching as an obstacle to our understanding\, insight and progress on the path of practice. This perception is frequently a mis-perception based on uncertainty\, confusion and doubt. When properly understood\, the skillful resolution of such misunderstandings act as a doorway\, rather than an obstacles\, to the next level\, stage or dimension of practice. \nThis will be the first in a series of talks and discussions about fundamental issues that shape our understanding of the dharma and practice\, and have practical\, profound implications for our awakening. This evening will focus on the process\, the how\, of resolving uncertainty\, confusion & doubt regarding teachings that seem to be in conflict\, contradictory or paradoxical. \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.
